Train hard. Train with purpose. ⚑

It’s 3:30 AM somewhere.

Flipping the narrative from “dieting” to just “normal eating” will make this whole process a lot easier

[Steven Saunders Jr @StevieSaunders]

Weight training, even as important as it is… is a tool.

Meant to be used with cardio, diet, sleep, recovery, etc..

[Steven Saunders Jr @StevieSaunders]

One of the biggest things preventing you from seeing the results you’re looking for:

Weight training.

*by itself*

[Steven Saunders Jr @StevieSaunders]

The bottom line is if you’re just lifting for an hour, after a day of working a desk job, you probably..

Aren’t burning enough calories to see results.

[Steven Saunders Jr @StevieSaunders]

Fat loss is math. More calories burned than consumed.

Bigger fact.

[Steven Saunders Jr @StevieSaunders]

Strength training builds muscle. Over time that muscle causes your metabolic rate to increase, therefore you burn more at rest.

Fact.

[Steven Saunders Jr @StevieSaunders]

That’s not enough to see real results.

[Steven Saunders Jr @StevieSaunders]

500 if I’m really, really getting money..

[Steven Saunders Jr @StevieSaunders]

I burn between 250 and 500 calories during my normal weight lifting sessions.

[Steven Saunders Jr @StevieSaunders]

Uncomfortable fitness truth:

Life is crazy, therefore you’re never going to have more time.

So you may as well start now.

[Steven Saunders Jr @StevieSaunders]

Oh and last thing..

The word “tone” isn’t real

[Steven Saunders Jr @StevieSaunders]

How to lift heavy and not get bulky..

A thread:

[Steven Saunders Jr @StevieSaunders]

It’s gonna be okay. I promise.

[Steven Saunders Jr @StevieSaunders]

If you seriously want results.. you need to lift heavy.

[Steven Saunders Jr @StevieSaunders]

So if we’re being honest..

You don’t train hard enough for that to happen.

[Steven Saunders Jr @StevieSaunders]

People spend their whole lives trying to look like bodybuilders

[Steven Saunders Jr @StevieSaunders]

That literally won’t happen.

[Steven Saunders Jr @StevieSaunders]

The only investment that has zero risk:

Your own body.

[Steven Saunders Jr @StevieSaunders]

You can’t tone muscles. Either they’re growing or they aren’t.

If you’re trying to “tone”, you really want more muscle and less body fat.

[Steven Saunders Jr @StevieSaunders]

If you can build discipline in the gym

you can build it in other areas too.
