New studies on training, fat loss, and muscle — simplified for real results.
Coaching Corner
Build your training around fundamentals
You don’t need 20 exercises per workout.
You need 3–5 core movements you can improve week after week.
Your foundation should include:
A squat pattern (squat, leg press, split squat)
A hinge (RDL, deadlift, hip thrust)
A press (bench, dumbbell press, push-ups)
A pull (row, pull-down, pull-ups)
Everything else is accessory work meant to support those lifts — not replace them.
Track your weights.
Track your reps.
Aim to improve something each week, even if it’s just one extra rep.
Small wins compound faster than massive changes.

New Study
Time-Restricted Eating + Exercise May Boost Fat Loss
A systematic review found that combining an 8-hour eating window (time-restricted eating) with regular exercise led to greater fat loss while preserving lean muscle compared to exercise alone — though more research is needed.
Takeaway: If you’re experimenting with eating windows, do it with training — and keep protein high to maintain muscle.
