Is this why you struggle to build muscle? 🧐
Skool family, real talk for a second… What if the reason you're not seeing muscle growth has nothing to do with your protein intake or exercise selection? What if it's actually about how much work you're doing per muscle group — and whether that work even counts? 👉👉 I put together a Loom 🎥 explaining training volume and why most people get this completely backwards. And no, I'm not talking about: - Grinding out 3-hour gym sessions - Copying some influencer's 30-set arm day - Destroying yourself until you can’t walk I'm talking about finding the sweet spot between doing enough to grow and doing so much you can't recover. When our clients nail this, here's what happens: - They start seeing actual changes in 3-4 weeks - Workouts feel challenging but not exhausting - Recovery improves dramatically - They stop feeling like they live at the gym - Strength jumps up consistently Some of you are doing 20+ sets and getting nowhere. Others are doing 6 sets and wondering why nothing's happening. Both are missing the same piece. 👉 Want me to break down how to find your personal volume threshold? Drop VOLUME below and I'll shoot you the video. If you're putting in work but your physique looks the same as 3 months ago… you need to watch this. I'll walk you through exactly how to know if you're under-training or over-training. P.S. You could be building muscle under layers of body fat. So make sure you’re nailing the nutrition piece too as you’re making gains! 💪

Thursday mood
You know when you work at a company where food is always available, you look to it and think.. why is this here!?! I was always the person that when in stress always binge. Not because I was hungry but was so stressed that I didn’t look what I was eating. I can now say that my mindset has changed a lot.. and no, I am not free of stress 😃 but I can look at a table of processed foods and eat my banana or whatever the fruit I brought in peace… It’s the daily small wins 🙂

Thursday Twist Aftermath: Korean BBQ Part II 🔥🥩📊
Sharing this for anyone who thinks one social meal ruins progress. My numbers today in MFP: 🔥 Cut goal: 1,700 calories 🔥 Food eaten: 2,054 calories That puts me 354 calories over my cut target. BUT… My maintenance is around 2,200 calories. At 2,054 total intake, I am still about 146 calories BELOW maintenance. That means I am STILL in a small calorie deficit overall. No panic. No punishment cardio. No “I messed up” mindset. I enjoyed Korean BBQ with my family — guilt free ❤️ My approach moving forward: ✅ Add more steps tomorrow ✅ Trim 50–100 calories from my usual deficit ✅ Keep protein high ✅ Keep carbs controlled ✅ Stay consistent What I learned 📚👇🏽 Going over your CUT target does NOT automatically mean fat gain. Fat gain happens when you consistently eat ABOVE maintenance — not just above your deficit goal. There’s a difference between: • Going over your cut calories • Eating at maintenance • Eating in a surplus Tonight I went over my 1,700 cut target. But I did NOT go over my 2,200 maintenance. One higher-calorie meal does not equal body fat gain. Sustained surplus over time does. Knowledge removes panic. Consistency builds results. P.S. I brought my food scale and weighed my food. No shame I got goals to meet.
