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! 💪

Day 2
This is what I am eating this week, well, for a few weeks. I eat the same thing for breakfast and for lunch most days. I do this for months at a time. Until, I get tired of it and then I switch to something else. It’s just efficient or maybe just lazy. Breakfast- 1/3 cup expensive cooked hot oatmeal (I can’t think of the name of it, but it taste better) in water with 1/2 cup 2% Greek yogurt and a handful of blueberries. Hot oatmeal and cold yogurt together sounds gross you say??!! I don’t care too much about temperature of food. 🤷‍♀️ Lunch - Salad with protein. Always, everyday, for years at this point. Today was 2 cups leafy greens with shredded carrots, cherry tomatoes and grilled chicken. Some sort of balsamic dressing. I didn’t eat all of it today. I got busy and then it got mushy, and so I just ate the chicken out of it. I usually eat a piece of fruit and some beef jerky or a spoonful of peanut butter for a snack but today a friend brought me a 12 oz spicy chai, because 8oz is not enough and 16 oz is too much. So I drank that in a super cute cup. I wanted to save it, it was so cute. But I threw it away. Dinner is out of my control most of the time. My husband makes it. I usually eat some protein and a little of whatever else. But to be honest I try not to eat too much because I get home late and I go to bed early. Tonight he made tacos, so I had some ground beef taco meat with half an avocado, cilantro and some salsa. I forgot I have a cabbage coleslaw thing I made that I should have eaten with it, but I ate it separately. I didn’t eat that whole bowl in the picture. I just took a picture of it. But I probably could have eaten the whole bowl. It’s yummy. This post is too long. Too much information. Is this what I am supposed to do??!!. I am not sure what is normal around here. 😊
Day 2
Another day
Today is Tuesday. It’s the day that my gain showed on the scale. So what !!! It happened before and will probably happen again but life goes on. No punishment, no restrictions. Eating my good foods and still having some things I’m craving in moderation. Realizing I’m feeling more like snacking the week before. 🩸 I’m trying to start with fruits and end with sweets if I need it. Leaving bread for last even if I crave it more also. I did have a keto wrap for lunch and that was good. I am loving baked sweet potatoes right now they are my favourite. Hopefully you guys are all having a great day and living your best life.
