What is SO wrong about Tracking Food/Macros?

Seems it’s becoming a trend people hop on to start bashing it.

Great way to learn more about the food you’re eating and how much you need to consume to reach your goals.

Am I wrong?

[Liam Manwaring @LiamManwaring]

Increasing your STRICT strength will translate over to your KIPPING MOVEMENTS.

Whereas if you only work on KIPPING, your Strict Strength won’t be worked.

[Liam Manwaring @LiamManwaring]

The best way to get better at KIPPING HSPU?

STRICT STRENGTH.
STRICT STRENGTH.
STRICT STRENGTH.

In that order 🤪

[Liam Manwaring @LiamManwaring]

Work on your STRICT Overhead/Upside Down Strength through;

- Pike Push Ups
- Feet Elevated Pike Push Ups
- L-Sit Shoulder Presses (DB’s, KB’s or Barbell)
- Handstand Holds
- Eccentric HSPU
- Core Work (Hollow Holds/Rocks)

These movements must be completed with FULL ROM.

[Liam Manwaring @LiamManwaring]

One of my clients came to me 6 months ago with chronic wrist pain, unable to hang from a bar or do one full push ups.

[Liam Manwaring @LiamManwaring]

He said today he actively used to avoid the gym/training/strenuous activity in fear of his wrist hurting or doing more damage.

THIS IS WHY EVERYONE SHOULD STRENGTH TRAIN.

[Liam Manwaring @LiamManwaring]

So unless you ate 5 McDonald’s meals one day… you haven’t put on weight overnight 😃

[Liam Manwaring @LiamManwaring]

Reasons for Weight Fluctuation:

- Higher Carb Meals
- Alcohol Intake
- Stress
- Poor Sleep
- More Hydrated
- Haven’t been to the toilet
- Higher Salt Intake

[Liam Manwaring @LiamManwaring]

Weight Fluctuation (very very rarely) means you’ve put on excess body fat.

You need to eat in a 3500 calorie SURPLUS to gain one lb of body fat.

[Liam Manwaring @LiamManwaring]

Trick question 😆

EVERYONE should be doing both.

Cardio for better cardiovascular/heart health and longevity ♥️

Weights/strength training for stronger muscles, bones and joints and a better life 💪🏻

[Liam Manwaring @LiamManwaring]

Should you do cardio?

OR

Should you do weights?

🤔

[Liam Manwaring @LiamManwaring]

Why EVERYONE should have some kind of cardio/aerobic exercise as part of their training schedule:

- Cardiovascular Health Benefits
- Improved Cognitive Function
- Mental Health Benefits
- Opportunity to Socialise (train with friends)
- Get Outside in Nature
- ‘Runners High’

The person in ‘great shape’ doesn’t get fulfilment of being in great shape…

They get fulfilment from BEING THE PERSON who goes to the gym every day 💪🏻

Wanted to start a daily writing habit.

Struggled to do this for some time.

Paired the habit with a purpose (daily marketing emails)

Easy to stick to 🙌🏻

PURPOSE.

[Liam Manwaring @LiamManwaring]

Never has there been a better advertisement to hire a coach!

Use your desire to train with a coach’s knowledge, accountability and support to get the best results possible 🙌🏻

[Liam Manwaring @LiamManwaring]

You’re riding a new wave of motivation to get in the gym and train…

GREAT.

However, with all the right intensions but missing the right application…

Results can be hard to come by, which then leads to that dip in motivation.
