When it comes to getting jacked, focusing on the basics will get you 90% of the way there.
That means doing the following:
- Staying consistent with 3 hard strength training workouts per week
- Dialing in your nutrition plan
- Adding in 1-3 high intensity conditioning sessions each week to stay lean.
But, to take your physique to the next level, there are some advanced strategies that you can use in the gym and the kitchen.
From body part specific workouts and training templates to small tweaks to your daily diet. These adjustments will separate you from the masses.
You’ll be the guy that gets insane results while leading a balanced life. None of that OCD, neuroticism that turns you into a social hermit. And no more time wasted in the gym making zero progress.
