1. Prioritize Compound Movements: Focus on exercises like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and pull-ups. These compound movements engage multiple muscle groups and are essential for building overall strength and muscle mass. 2. Incorporate Progressive Overload: Consistently challenge your muscles by gradually increasing the weight, reps, or sets. This progressive overload is crucial for continued muscle growth and strength gains. 3. Balance Training Splits: Use a balanced workout split to ensure all major muscle groups are trained throughout the week. A common intermediate split could be push/pull/legs or an upper/lower body split. 4. Focus on Form and Technique: Prioritize perfecting your form over lifting heavier weights. Proper technique reduces the risk of injury and ensures you’re effectively targeting the intended muscle groups. 5. Implement Time Under Tension: Slow down the eccentric (lowering) phase of your lifts to increase time under tension. This can enhance muscle hypertrophy by creating more stress on the muscles. 6. Include Variety: Keep your muscles guessing by varying your exercises, rep ranges, and rest periods. Incorporate different training methods like supersets, drop sets, or circuit training to prevent plateaus. 7. Prioritize Recovery: Allow adequate rest between workouts for each muscle group. Incorporate active recovery methods such as stretching, foam rolling, or low-intensity cardio to aid in muscle repair and reduce soreness. Your best is yet to come 💪🏼 Coach Joe

1. Protein Timing: Aim to consume protein with every meal to support muscle recovery and growth. 2. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially before, during, and after workouts. 3. Whole Foods First: Prioritize whole, unprocessed foods for optimal nutrition and energy levels. 4. Meal Prep: Preparing meals in advance can help you stick to your nutrition goals, even on busy days. 5. Eat Balanced Meals: Combine protein, carbs, and healthy fats in each meal to stay satisfied and support performance. 6. Limit Sugary Drinks: Opt for water, herbal teas, or black coffee instead of sugary beverages that add empty calories. 7. Pre-Workout Nutrition: A balanced meal with carbs and protein 1-2 hours before your workout can enhance performance. 8. Post-Workout Nutrition: Refuel with a mix of protein and carbs within 30 minutes after your workout for optimal recovery. 9. Mindful Eating: Pay attention to hunger and fullness cues, and avoid eating out of boredom or stress. 10. Supplements & support: Use supplements to ril nutritional gaps, but remember, they can't replace a healthy diet. Your best is yet to come. Coach Joe
