Episode notes
Prioritize Compound Lifts And Strength Tracking
- Practice the big compound lifts (squat, bench, deadlift, row, press) repeatedly instead of many isolation moves.
- Track strength increases as your primary metric because strength strongly correlates with muscle growth.
Eat Whole Foods And Hit Protein Targets
- Eat mostly whole, unprocessed foods and prioritize protein each meal.
- Aim for about 1 gram of protein per pound of desired bodyweight and start the day with a high-protein breakfast.
Make Sleep A Priority
- Prioritize consistent sleep: go to bed and wake at the same time and aim for 8–9 hours nightly.
- Remove phones from the bedroom and stop screens an hour before bed to improve recovery and performance.
