I break down why I’m not a huge fan of intermittent fasting for most people, why awareness of your calories and macros matters more than chasing the latest diet hack, and how to make hitting your protein target much simpler by structuring your meals properly.</p><p><br></p><p>I also get into what I believe is one of the biggest mistakes people make in the gym: trying to train like someone who is already years ahead of them. You don’t start in fifth gear, you start in first. I explain why mastering the fundamentals, learning to move properly, and building a solid foundation should come before advanced training methods, high-volume bodybuilding programs, and all the nuances you see online. </p><p><br></p><p>Whether you’re brand new to training or you’ve been doing this for years, there’s always value in going back to the basics and making sure your foundation is strong.</p>","author_name":"Tom Mouland"}
