If I wanted to put on as much muscle as possible in the next 90 days, I'd do these exercises:🧵 Image
The Lean Body look isn't about getting massive.

It's about building:

• Toned Legs
• Defined Arms
• Broad Shoulders
• A Wide Upper Back
• A Strong Upper Chest
• Shredded Abs & Obliques

In perfect proportion.

Let's jump in:
|| CHEST ||

For the Lean Body look, all parts of the chest are important.

But the upper chest is the emphasis:

• Dips 3xMAX (low)
• Flat DB Press 3x8-12
• Mid-Incline DB Press 3x6-8
• High-Incline DB Press 3x6-8
• Low-to-High Cable Fly 3x10-15 Image
|| SHOULDERS & ARMS||

Shoulders & arms get indirect work from Chest & Back.

Here's extra direct work (emphasis on mid-delts):

• Incline DB Curls 3x8-12
• DB Lateral Raise 4x10-15
• DB Overhead Press 3x6-8
• Cable Lateral Raise 4x10-15
• Overhead Tricep Extension 3x8-12 Image
|| BACK & TRAPS ||

A Wide Upper Back creates the V-taper.

Here's how to get it:

• DB Shrugs 3x10-15
• Weighted Pull Ups 3x6-8
• Wide-Grip Pulldowns 3x8-12
• Underhand Pulldowns 3x8-12
• Overhand Supported Row 3x8-12
• Parallel Grip Supported Row 3x6-8 Image
||ABS & OBLIQUES||

The abs need to be trained hard like everything else:
• Machine Crunch 4x8-12
• Hanging Leg Raise 4xMAX
• Weighted Side Bend 4x10-15
• Cable Oblique Crunch 4x8-12 Image
||LEGS & GLUTES||

The Lean Body look isn't complete if you have chicken legs:

• Squat 3x6-8
• Leg Press 3x10-15
• Leg Extension 3x8-12
• Hamstring Curl 3x8-12
• Seated Calves 5x10-12
• Standing Calves 5x8-12
• Romanian Deadlift 3x6-8
• Bulgarian Split Squat 3x8-12 Image
This is a full week of training.

But make sure you organize it properly:

• Upper/Lower
• Push, Pull, Legs
• etc

Then progress reps or weights each week.
Lastly, lock in your nutrition & lifestyle to get lean:

1. Calorie Deficit
2. High Protein Diet
3. 8k+ steps a day

These are the basics that'll get you most of your results.

20 tips to drop 20+ pounds by summer 2026 (bookmark this): 🧵

1. Eat 3-4 eggs every single day. They're high-protein, filling, nutrient-dense, and rich in healthy fats.

They do NOT cause heart disease. Image
2. Stop drinking alcohol. The empty calories are not worth it.

3. Stop running. You don't need to rely on cardio to drop fat.

4. Understand this: PeanutButter is not a "good" source of protein.

5. Build more muscle - it's the best fat burner
6. Eat high protein, it boosts fat loss and fills you up.

7. Lean steak, lean chicken breast, tilapia, tuna, lean turkey, Greek yoghurt and protein shakes - eat any of these high protein foods as daily staples and become unrecognizable.

Over 100 million Americans suffer high blood pressure...

Yet meds don't control it for 71% of people prescribed them.

Here are the 9 hidden causes of high blood pressure doctors completely ignore (and how to fix them before it's too late): 🧵
1. Fix insulin resistance.

High insulin levels cause your kidneys to retain sodium.

This increases blood volume and stiffens your arteries.

Cut processed carbs, lose excess body fat and resistance train.
2. Get more potassium.

It lowers blood pressure by:

- Balancing fluid levels
- Relaxing blood vessel walls
- Helping kidneys excrete sodium

Eat more avocados, spinach and bananas.

33 sentences that will teach you about optimizing health better than my 4-year pharmacy degree (bookmark this): 🧵

1. Stop drinking alcohol. Image
2. Exercise & quality nutritious foods are worth more than any medication on the planet.
3. Most drugs don't fix your problems they just cover up the symptoms.
4. Going for a 10-minute walk after a meal will boost your digestion, stabilize blood sugar & prevent energy crashes.
5. Type 2 diabetes is reversible - if you live on insulin, there is hope for you.
6. 7-8 hours of quality sleep per day is better than any stimulant or pre-workout you can take.
7. Fat, sugar, meat, and eggs won't just kill you; eating a ridiculous amount of them will.

High blood pressure is Big Pharma´s favorite disease.

They make billions selling lifelong meds while blaming:

- Fat
- Salt
- Red meat.

But the secret?

They're not really why 50% of Americans have high blood pressure.

These 7 reasons are 👇
1. Insulin resistance

Your body produces excess insulin which triggers your kidneys to retain sodium.

The result?

- Water retention
- Higher blood volume
- Higher blood pressure

How to fix it:
2. Poor sleep

A lack of deep sleep:

- Increases your cortisol
- Puts your sympathetic nervous system in overdrive

The result?

It keeps your blood pressure elevated 24/7.

Here are 3 tips to get better and deeper sleep:

I eat 100+ pounds of red meat per year.

The media says it'll kill me.

My blood work says otherwise.

Here are 10 reasons red meat is actually a superfood: Image
Image
1. Bioavailable nutrition density

Beef has the highest absorption rates:

• Iron: 20-30% (vs 5% from plants)
• B12: Can't get from plants
• Zinc: 4x more bioavailable than grains
• Creatine: Only from animal sources

Your body actually uses it. Image
2. Complete protein with leucine

3oz beef = 25g protein with 2.5g leucine.

Leucine threshold triggers muscle protein synthesis.

Plant proteins?

Need 2-3x the volume for same leucine.

Good luck eating 2 pounds of beans daily.

Your belly fat is setting you up for cancer, heart disease & an early death.

Here's every tip I have to shred your belly fat:

1. Stop drinking alcohol. Image
Not drinking your calories is an easy fat-loss hack.

Alcohol is a toxin.

Moderation is key - if you need alcohol to have a good time you're a boring person.

I will not explain further.
2. Move Daily

Moving more is the simplest way to boost fat loss.

You don't need to spend hours doing cardio or 2 hours a day in the gym.

You need N.E.A.T. - NEAT = non-exercise activity thermogenesis

Here are examples:
