Mountain Strength And Fitness

Mountain Strength And Fitness My name is Marco and I'm a NSCA-Certified Personal Trainer and Precision Nutrition (Level 1) coach. I offer both online and in-person training.

I specialize in helping you:

- lose fat
- gain muscle
- look great naked
- feel sexier
- get stronger
- feel more energetic
- be more confident than ever

After being an overweight, food-loving couch potato throughout most of my adult life, I fell in love with fitness after becoming fed up with my lifestyle, embarking on a mission of learning and self-improvement, losing nearly 30 pounds, and gaining an appreciable amount of muscle in the process. By placing attention on the vitally-interdependent areas of training, nutrition, mindset, and lifestyle; I'll help you achieve your goal physique with a structured, intelligent and flexible, training and nutrition program that suits your everyday life. My goal is to help you focus on the stuff that matters, filter out the fitness myths and distractions, keep you accountable, and help to empower and educate you to become self-sufficient for life, long after you move on past training with me. For local clients, I highly-recommend my hybrid training service, which combines the accountability and affordability of online training with the ultra-personalized touch of one-on-one gym sessions.

Optimization protocols are distracting you and keeping you stuck.

For me, “moderation” used to mean eating like a toddler for half the day, or eating like complete s**t three days a week...

For me, “moderation” used to mean eating like a toddler for half the day, or eating like complete s**t three days a week and then over-restricting for the next four.

Growing up being taught to finish my plate and never waste food didn’t help.

Never thought I’d be the type of guy who could eat a quarter of a doughnut, scratch the itch for flavour, and move on.

It took time, practice, and self-reflection to get here.

If I can do it, you can too.

The most convenient way to ensure you're hitting your protein target while traveling is to front-load 50 grams of it first thing in the morning.

After all, let's face it most places are gonna serve you a breakfast high in carbs and fat and low in protein.

Fortunately, you can buy protein shakes at just about any convenience store, gas station, or supermarket nowadays.

Keep your meals simple. A lean protein, a starchy carb, and fresh produce.

Single-ingredient, whole food sources of protein, starchy carbs, and fresh produce should make up your main meal ingredients.

Find a small number of meals you enjoy and eat them on repeat. Rotating through a small number of them for variety as needed.

Pre-log them and then follow the map you've laid out for yourself.

Easy to track. Easier to hit calorie and protein targets. No daily Macro Tetris required.

The SIMPLE work you've been avoiding is what's holding you back.

"Watch out for the fatigue demon"

Rule #1: don't be a dick

Allow other people to work in on easily-adjustable gym machines and don't occupy multiple pieces of equipment as if you own them. Everyone else pays the same member fee so stop acting entitled and annoyed at a minor inconvenience.

Oh and one more thing: stop doing hour-long circuits and yoga (true story) in the squat rack while others are waiting to use it for its intended purpose.

Thanks and have a nice day. 💪🙂

Stop treating rest between sets like wasted time. It’s part of the workout.

If you’re trying to get stronger or build muscle, you actually want to be recovered enough to put some effort into your next set. You don’t get bonus points for rushing through your workout just to feel more tired.

Take the rest. Then make the next set count.
