Almost 6 full weeks of running 3x per week for the first time ever at age 47, and this morning was the first progressive workout (the 17th) where lower leg fatigue wasn’t the limiting factor. Tutto passa. Keep going.

A good way to gain 10lbs of fat over the next six months: train early in the morning and avoid protein and carbohydrates until the afternoon.

[Matt Maher @mattmahermoves]

Protein, then vegetables, then carbs.

Glutes, then hamstrings, then quads.

As a full-scheduled fitness coach, one of the biggest challenges is protecting your energy, and what little free time you have, from those who feel constantly entitled to it.

[Matt Maher @mattmahermoves]

The amount of people that regularly complain about poor sleep, but aren’t receptive to limiting blue light or putting together a supplement stack, perplexes me.

[Matt Maher @mattmahermoves]

Men: Normalize rotating your hips just as much as your shoulders.

Imagine being so disconnected from reality that you think a 1-2 minute warmup is enough for a strength training session.

[Matt Maher @mattmahermoves]

Online trainers that follow you on social media, message you asking if you need a coach, then unfollow you when you don’t, are the lowest form of invertebrate sea cucumberish bottom feeders in fitness. #marlboronj #personaltrainers #iftheshoefits

To my men lifting in the morning, not eating until lunch, and overdoing useless calories in the evening:

An appetite suppressant is the last thing you need. Try discipline instead.

[Matt Maher @mattmahermoves]

If you are training to improve your body composition, or your physical strength, its beneficial to consume .75 to 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight, and about 1.5 to 2 grams of carbohydrates per pound of bodyweight, to adequately recover and to have the fuel required to make progress.

[Matt Maher @mattmahermoves]

Without consistent training and a structured diet, expect expedited physical decline. Add a GLP to that mix, expect even faster decline.

[Matt Maher @mattmahermoves]

The more time you spend at a desk, the more you need intelligent training.

[Matt Maher @mattmahermoves]

If it never feels “heavy” it’s not strength training. If it’s not strength training, you’re probably getting tired, without getting stronger.

[Matt Maher @mattmahermoves]

Sunday Checklist Complete.

☑️Squats, Hinges, Lunges
☑️ 180 Grams of Protein
☑️ 280 Grams of Carbs
☑️ (3) 10-Minute Walks

[Matt Maher @mattmahermoves]

The healthier you are, the less your body will hold onto fat. The more fat you hold onto, the less healthy you will be.

[Matt Maher @mattmahermoves]

If 3 or more parts of your body hurt when you train, your habits may be a better place to focus than the parts.

[Matt Maher @mattmahermoves]

Gentlemen: If you’re not consuming at least 40g of protein and 60g of carbohydrates post strength training session, you’re leaving a lot on the table.

[Matt Maher @mattmahermoves]

Powerlifters: If you skip the step where you learn to hinge well, you will be severely limited somewhere further down the road.
