1. You barely move.

Steps. Walking. Fidgeting. All of it adds up. Movement outside the gym is a bigger driver of your metabolism than your actual workout. If you’re sedentary all day you’re leaving your biggest lever untouched.

2. You aren’t consistent.

3 good days don’t mean sh*t. Your health is a game of averages. It has to be something you just do. Every day. Across the whole week. Not when you feel like it.

3. You’re focused on burn instead of build.

Everyone’s obsessed with how many calories they torched in the gym. WAY too big of a focus on cardio. Nobody’s talking about muscle. Muscle is what drives your BMR to work harder for you around the clock. Stop chasing the burn. Start building. ...

1. You change plans too often.

Progress happens when you PUSH yourself and tell your body to adapt. If you are constantly trying to “shock” the muscle, you never get good at movements.

It’s like getting great at soccer, then switching to hockey. You never see your true potential.

Just cause you got a good sweat on also doesn’t mean anything.

Get REALLY good at movements, then try to beat your performance every dang workout.

Progress comes from PROGRESSION.

2. Too much cardio focus.

Cardio is amazing for you but it can lie straight to your face. You sweat. Your heart rate goes up. But the weight stays the same and you never look different.

You need to put on muscle. Every pound of muscle creates more metabolic burn. With enough muscle, you start looking better and weight loss becomes effortless.

Also, you gotta track your food. Just cause you work hard and run/do loads of cardio doesn’t change the fact you could still be overeating. ...

This cost me everything ⤵️

I didn’t simplify.

The perfect macros. Hitting calories perfectly 24/7. An expensive supplement stack just to stay at baseline. Constantly rotating meals to nail the perfect nutrition profile. Obsessing over the perfect split and hitting every muscle group on the exact right day.

Holy sh*t it made feeling healthy the biggest chore in the world.

Here’s what I do now.

I eat meals I love, and I have them on repeat all week. If I want to change it up I wait until the next week. I track once, then eat on autopilot. No guessing. No overthinking.

Want to eat out? Cool. I do it and I move on. If it happens multiple times that week I focus more on protein. If it’s just once I enjoy myself a little more.

One meal doesn’t define you. One day doesn’t define you. How you respond after that is the whole game.

Stop trying to be perfect. Start trying to be simple enough to do this forever.

For workouts, I just do what makes me excited. I track it because I love progression. I no longer do workouts because “it’s good for me.” I do them because I want to improve something.

Conscious of everything. Strict about nothing. That’s not laziness. That’s what it looks like when fitness finally becomes part of who you are and not something you have to force yourself to do. ...

Your metabolism equals your lifestyle.

Anyone who claims their metabolism is broken doesn’t understand how it works. It doesn’t just “stop working”.

Your lifestyle IS your metabolism. How much you are moving. The food you eat. The muscle on your frame. Your consistency and mindset. It all works together.

So before you try to “restart” your metabolism, look at your lifestyle and see if you are missing one of the key elements to the equation.

Mic’d up incline smith machine PR!

Felt smooth. Form was perfect. Moved with ease. Eating more carbs is fun.

Thoughts on me posting more of these? I get a chance to show my personality and drop some quick knowledge while I destroy my body lol

Message me “2026” for coaching. 🔥 ...

Family man, owner of a massive land flipping operation, yet still able to find time for his health and take it to the next level.

Brian came to me already in amazing shape. He was after learning how to not function in absolutes and take his health to new heights.

Before he’d be overly strict with nutrition. Not eat out often. Unable to enjoy family time. Now he is eating more food than ever before and never afraid to be present with his family.

Add in a program where he packed on muscle and felt more mobile than ever before… he became a new man.

Just because you are far along in your journey doesn’t mean there isn’t something that could be worked on.

Want to fix that missing piece? Message me “2026”. No more settling for where you are at ...

1. Peptides.

It’s trendy. They do work. But eventually you will have to come off. Idk about you, but I don’t want my baseline to be dependent on injections and spending lots of money every month for them.

I have clients who use them. They work. They can be life-changing. But it is a tool, and if you don’t have your lifestyle in check… it doesn’t do anything.

2. Spamming protein.

Protein is AMAZING. But omg not everything needs to be a protein snack or have protein in it. Get around 1g per lb of ideal body weight, then backfill the rest with quality fats and carbs. That’s it.

3. Supplement stacks.

Don’t get me wrong, I love supplements. Fish oil. Magnesium glycinate. Vitamin D. Preworkout. Creatine. Protein powder. Electrolytes. All supplements I take myself.

BUT HOLY SMOKES, there are people that rely on wayyyyy too many supplements and make the cost of being healthy a damn fortune.

Do the basics. Do them well. Do them for a long time.

Getting healthy is becoming more and more expensive, according to how the industry is portraying it. ...

You can’t “restart your metabolism”.

You can focus on your habits though because a large chance why your metabolism feels shut down is because your habits are out of wack.

Focus on the habits. Everything else follows. ...
