Let’s cut to it.
You can have the best coach in the world.
You can show up to Grit Athletics five days a week and crush every workout.
But if you don’t fix what’s on your plate, you’re going to keep spinning your wheels.
Muscle doesn’t get built during your workout—it gets built after.
When you train, you’re breaking your muscles down. Without the right fuel, your body can’t rebuild them. That means soreness lingers, performance drops, and progress stalls.
This is where most people get stuck.
They blame the program.
They blame their schedule.
They even blame age.
But it’s not your workout holding you back—it’s your habits outside the gym.
Start Here: Eat 1 Gram of Protein Per Pound of Bodyweight
This one shift alone can change everything.
Not only does protein repair muscle tissue and reduce soreness, but it helps your body build new muscle mass. Want to feel strong instead of run-down after workouts? This is where you start.
If you weigh 180 pounds, aim for 180 grams of protein per day.
Not “more protein” — enough protein.
It’s going to feel like a lot at first. Good. It means you’re finally doing what your body’s been begging you to do.
Energy Balance: Carbs and Fats Aren’t the Enemy—But Overeating Is
Your body runs on carbs and fats. Both matter.
But here’s the deal: if you consistently give your body more fuel than it needs, it won’t burn body fat. It doesn’t have to.
If fat loss is the goal, you need to create a slight calorie deficit.
Not starvation. Not crash diets.
Just eat a little less than you burn.
Combine that with strength training and adequate protein, and you’ll lose fat while building lean muscle.
Yes, you can do both at the same time.
But only if your nutrition backs it up.
From
Go All In
:
“You can’t expect a high-performance life with low-effort habits. Fuel your body like someone who’s ready to dominate—not just survive.”
You’re not here for average results.
You’re here to look different, feel different, and show up differently.
That starts with what you eat today—not next week.
Here’s How to Fix It
Start simple, but start now:
- Eat 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight. Track it.
- Create a slight calorie deficit (even 200–300 calories less per day).
- Plan your meals ahead of time. Most bad habits come from lack of preparation.
- Stop making excuses. You don’t need perfect—you need consistent.
Ask for help. If this feels overwhelming, that’s what we’re here for.
If you’re training hard and not seeing the results you want, it’s not your work ethic—it’s your plan.
Let’s fix that.
Let’s go all in.
