Hey there, Want to get fitter and healthier faster?  Don't step over dollars to pick up dimes.  Don't fuss over "superfoods" instead of eating enough fruits and vegetables. Don't slurp down hydration supplements instead of drinking enough water. Don't flit from one training program to the next instead of achieving progressive overload.  Fitness is like any other activity—the big results always come from practicing the fundamentals, not exploring the fringes. For example, if you can . . . 1. Figure out how many calories and how much protein to eat every day. 2. Consistently eat about that many calories and that much protein every day. . . . you'll never struggle with your weight ever again.  That's the passport to the promised land, not restricting carbs or avoiding individual foods. So long as calories and protein are controlled correctly, those who can best stick to their diet lose the most fat. Full stop.  And the non-negotiable strength training tenets that most determine your results? There are only a few: 1. Progressive overload 2. Volume and intensity 3. Exercise selection 4. Rest and recovery All other aspects are junior—the 80% that produces the 20%, including your workout split. Your biceps don't care if you do an "arms," "pull," or "upper-body" workout. Your muscles will grow when you do the right amount of the right exercises with the right amount of weight and then give them the right amount of nutrition and recovery.  And finally, there are no "weird tricks" for melting belly fat; pills, powders, or potions for packing on muscle; or "biohacks" for supercharging your chakras with higher vibrations of the green tea infinity. There's only the work.  Also, if you're doing the work to transform your body but can't seem to break out of a rut . . . . . . and if you're sick of reading articles, watching videos, and listening to podcasts and would rather just have an expert take you by the hand and give you everything you need to build your best body ever . . .  . . . you want to check out my VIP one-on-one coaching service.  My team and I have helped over three thousand men and women of all ages and abilities reach their fitness goals faster than they ever thought possible, and chances are we can do the same for you.
