Hi all, Just wanted to say welcome to some of our new members - feel free to post about your journey, your progress or anything else that you want to chat about. You can always DM me too if you want to ask anything privately! Cheers, Dave

Post in the Discussion channel here — I check in regularly and reply to everything. Reply to any email in the welcome sequence — every reply comes directly to me. Email [email protected]. I respond to every message personally, usually within 24 hours. If you're a guide owner and have a specific question about the method, training or nutrition, don't hesitate. That's what I'm here for.

Yes, the community is open to anyone dealing with the skinny-fat problem. That said, a lot of the discussion here references the guide and the method, so you'll naturally get more from it once you have that context. If you're on the fence about the guide, the free checklist is a good starting point. It covers the 5 most common mistakes skinny-fat guys make and gives you a clear picture of what's been holding you back. Grab it here: https://sfsmethod.com/free-skinny-fat-mistakes-checklist If you have questions before buying, post them in Discussion or email [email protected] and I'll answer honestly.

A few things: Somewhere to ask questions and get direct answers. I'm in here regularly and respond personally. Somewhere to share progress. The Wins & Progress channel is there for exactly this. Posting updates, even small ones, keeps you accountable and gives other members something to engage with. Somewhere to connect with other guys working through the same thing. The skinny-fat problem is specific enough that generic fitness communities rarely get it. Everyone here is dealing with the same frustrations and working toward the same goal. It's straightforward. No agenda beyond building something genuinely useful for guys in this situation.

Read the guide first before starting the plan - specifically the recomposition and nutrition sections. The 4-week plan was designed to work alongside the guide's principles so the two complement each other directly. The plan tells you what to do in the gym. The guide tells you why, and how to eat to make it work. Starting the plan without reading the guide first means you'll be following sessions without understanding the reasoning behind the structure. You'll get some benefit but you'll miss a lot. Read guide first, then start Week 1 of the plan. That's the intended order.
