I've spent over 2000 hours in the gym over the last 8 years.

Here are 41 Training Tips I wish I knew when I first started.

🧵

1. Use the gym to build muscle and nutrition to drop fat. For best results, ensure every part of your training is optimized toward this.
Too many people confuse the two and get mediocre results.

2. Stop 'winging it'. With no plan, you will spin your wheels and waste months or years with little to no progress.

Can't get lean?

I promise it's your diet.

After 8 years training and coaching, here are 27 nutrition tips I wish I knew when I first started:

=Thread=

1. Carbs don't make you fat. 2. Nutrition is the key to lose fat (not cardio)

1lb Fat loss per week = a 500 caloric deficit/day over 7 days.

⚬ To burn 500 calories on the treadmill = 1 hour
⚬ To not eat that 500-calorie donut = 5 seconds

Understand nutrition and you'll never worry about fat loss again.

Easy choice.

'Eat less and move more' is a lie.

The truth is you can get lean eating more food.

How?

You need to focus on High Volume to Caloric Ratio Foods.

Here are 5 of my favorites to help you eat more and stay lean:

= Thread = To torch fat you have to be in a caloric deficit.

Nutrition is the easiest way to do this.

The key is knowing the right foods you can eat more of to get lean and stay full.

Here are 5 of my all-time favorites...

After 8 years Training and Coaching, here is every piece of fat loss advice I could come up with:

1. Stop drinking alcohol. Alcohol kills your metabolism, messes up hormones, increases hunger, and wrecks sleep. Minimize where possible to maximize results.

2. Discipline is the most overlooked asset for crushing your health and fitness goals. Learn to prioritize long term goals over short term gratification.

If all I had was a set of dumbbells and a bench, these are the 7 Exercises I would use to get in the best shape of my life:

▫️ Keep chest tall, elbows in
▫️ Full range—hips below parallel, strong drive up
▫️ Push through your heels, not your toes

Pull Up Strength is an indicator for health and longevity.

But most people can't even do one.

Let's change that.

Here's the simple process I used to go from zero to pumping out weighted pulls ups:

= Thread = Pull Ups are a fantastic bodyweight exercise

Being able to do these is a show of strength, health and longevity...

But also they also develop your lats, traps, delts, and biceps.

But most can't even do one pull-up

Never fear. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Here's 21 fat loss mistakes you must avoid to get lean:

=Thread=

1. Using cardio instead of nutrition to lose fat. 2. Use Cardio as the key lever to get lean. You'll spin your wheels. Nutrition is always the primary answer for fat loss.

3. Changing the way you train. Training is to stimulate new muscle tissue and strength, NOT to lose fat. Why would you change this when leaning down? Avoid.

95% of people who lose weight gain it all back.

But the other 5% know a secret.

It’s not diet or exercise—it’s a hidden brain hack.

Meet the Anterior Midcingulate Cortex (aMCC): your willpower’s command center.

Here’s how to train it and make discipline stick forever: Image Without willpower and discipline you will never succeed long term.

It is a MUST if you want lifelong health and fitness success.

It starts with training your brain’s anterior midcingulate cortex (aMCC)—the seat of resilience.

Here’s how to build it like a muscle:
