After 9 years in the gym, here's every fitness tip I could come up with:
1. Stop drinking alcohol.
2. An inch off your waist = 3-4lbs of fat-loss. The scale isn't the only thing that matters. 3. Get 50g protein minimum in your 1st meal 4. One 24-hour fast each week. 5. Spend a lot of time sitting? Do "bar hangs" after each workout to decompress your spine
6. 90% of your meals should be: chicken, steak, beef, salmon, shrimp, greek yogurt, eggs, fruit, rice, veggies, and potatoes 7. Lift legs 2x per week minimum. Your body's biggest muscles are in your lower body.
If I had to start from zero and my goal was to get as jacked as possible before summer, this is everything I’d do:
1. 10g Creatine/day forever. You should take it, your friends should take it, your parents should take it. It's great for strength, building muscle, and cognition.
2. Don't post pictures of yourself going to the gym on social media. In the beginning, people may cheer you on. When they stop, you'll lose motivation and quit. Do this for yourself & show up as a new person out of nowhere.
3. Train to failure. "Feeling the burn" doesn't mean you'll build muscle if you've got reps left in the tank. Your sets should be performed within 0 or 1 reps of failure.
