[BONUS] Why Setting Your Macros Isn’t Enough
Setting macros is only the first step—macro counting is so much more than hitting numbers once. You need to cycle through different phases (cutting, reverse dieting, maintenance, bulking) and adjust macros based on your body’s feedback. Consistency and mindset also play huge roles in long-term success. Without these tools, it’s easy to fall into self-sabotage or turn macros into just another diet.This bonus episode is your chance to learn about the deeper aspects of macro counting that are essential for reaching your goals. But don’t wait—doors for Macros 101 close Thursday at 9 pm PT on September 19th. Don’t miss out on the complete roadmap that will help you finally reach your goals.Head to bicepsafterbabies.com/join before it’s too late!
