The Medina Method

Luke’s journey…

Ok, I lied…
 
I’m know I’m the “don’t train just for ascetics” guy,
 
but…
 
Just look at who is presenting you information,
 
And it’s not even just the physique or bodyfat %
(chronically low fat can actually be harmful, especially on hormones),
 
I mean look…
 
At the whites of the eyes,
 
The life behind them,
 
The skin, hair, nails,
 
Even the energy and presence,
 
I don’t know how to describe this but, something just feels…
 
Off.
 
Like it’s…
 
“You lot do this because it’s healthy” …
 
Lower your calories (no matter where they come from)
Get your 10k steps (who even came up with that?)
Sleep more (with no context)
 
But don’t…
 
Stop eating the addictive ingredients produced by the companies that pay enough tax to keep governments happy,
 
Don’t…
 
Challenge your muscles, lungs and respiratory system.
 
Don’t…
 
Stop working, doing overtime and stressing about work outside of office hours.
 
I’m not telling you to judge a book by its cover…
(most bodybuilders and physique models are in horrible health anyway)
 
but I am telling you to…
 
Read in between the lines a little bit.

The calorie deficit model was designed for…
 
athletes cutting weight before a weigh in.
 
It was never designed for someone managing a career, a family and a social life simultaneously.
 
Elite athletes eat MORE to perform.
 
They only restrict when reducing training — temporarily — for a specific purpose.
 
You’ve been prescribed the restriction…
 
Without the context.
Without the support.
Without any account for the stressors already depleting you.
 
That’s not evidence-based training…
 
That’s a template applied regardless of reality.

The tools aren’t the enemy…

The belief that you need them — is.

Every benefit the optimisation industry is selling you…

is a benefit your body is already designed to produce,

When you give it the right conditions.

When you design your life around access to those conditions.

The natural alternative isn’t the budget option,

It’s the superior one.

The biggest flex isn’t the stack,

It’s the autonomy…

The sunrise because you prioritised it.

The real food because you prepared it.

The rest because you designed space for it.

The movement because your body craves it…

Although the symptoms make you feel weak —

The understanding that you have more control than you realise —

Should make you strong.

The strongest, most capable, attracted a mate…
 
(The type of mate you reproduce with, not the mate you have a pint with down the local)
 
They produced offspring and continued the species.
 
Now the training that builds the look —
actually reduces physical capability.
 
The dieting that creates the aesthetic —
actually creates hormonal environments that reduces fertility.
 
The rented supercar, the Dubai backdrop, the fake tan on stage —
The look increasingly signals insecurity…
 
Not capability.
 
Your DNA doesn’t care how much you bench…
 
Train accordingly.
 
Comment “METHOD” to begin training for performance — not poses.

The calorie model isn’t broken because…

the science is wrong.

It’s broken because it’s answering the wrong question…

with extraordinary precision.

You don’t need a more accurate tracker.

You need to understand what your body is actually asking for.

Eat to thrive. Not just to survive.

It’s funny how…

The internet is so good at prescribing your symptoms,

and,

It just so happens,

there is handy link,

to sell you the answer,

to any pain, problem (or paranoia), you may have,

In world designed to sell you the answer…

Make sure you are asking the right question.

Follow — and I’ll show you where to start.
