MAN-MAKERS:

these are a really great β€œfinisher” move to your strength training workouts.

Use dumbbells, kettlebells or Y-bells (that’s what I’m using)

1 rep =
2x Renegade rows (1 ea.arm)
1x Push-up
1x Clean
1x Front Squat (take it deep)
1x Overhead Press

For a bit of conditioning -
Try 3 sets of 8 reps
(1 min rest between sets)
At the end of your next strength training workout

Split Squat:

Possibly the un-crowned πŸ‘‘ of lower body exercises.
β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”
What we can do one leg is potentially far more functional in most real life situations than what we can do on two is.

βœ…Hip / Knee / Ankle health
βœ…Strength and Structural Balance
βœ… Functional Stability

Split squats are a great exercise to cover all these boxes πŸ“¦

πŸ“ŒShoulder-width Stance

πŸ“ŒTake a large step forward

πŸ“ŒCreating as much distance as flexibility allows between front and back foot

πŸ“ŒShoulders Back - Upright Torso

πŸ“ŒDrive the front knee as far forward as possible

πŸ“ŒBack Toe Anchored to ground

πŸ“ŒSoften Back Leg and let it β€˜come along for the ride’

πŸ“Œ Bottom position is as far forward as possible with keeping torso upright

OMG 😱.....

You mean I don’t have to cut carbs to lose weight?

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”-


When Protein and Calories are equivalent

(and appropriate for your weightloss goals)

All diets come out equal/similar for weight loss

Keto/Vegan/LowCarb/HighCarb/Carnivore/Paleo/...insert whatever...

☝🏽What matters most is that you can stick to the approach you take long enough to get the results!
β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”-
1. Get your daily protein amount sorted

2. Understand your total daily energy needs (how much you should be eating in total per day)

3. After getting your protein requirements sorted - fill up the rest of that energy requirement with mostly healthy whole foods and a few / occasional soul foods and indulgence

Rinse and repeat... no carb cutting required

βœ…Sure.. hardcore approaches work for a week or two.. maybe a month to 6 weeks if you are ultra committed.
β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”-
❌But the fundamental issue is that unless you want to be a hard core, overly deprived prude for the rest of your life...
β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”
🚫At some stage your hardcore approach will end...

😧 and before you realise, you will have drifted back into your old ways that got you in the mess in the first place πŸ₯‡

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”-
So instead, why not find a way that.. while results may be a little slower (in the short term)

Is actually a lifestyle you can see yourself keeping up forever?

So in the long term your results are way bigger and long let lasting than your old β€˜quick-fix’ approach could ever have hoped for
