Your body isn't listening. You train consistently, watch your protein, do everything the evidence says, but body recomposition isn't happening.
The problem isn't your effort. It's the signal between your actions and your physiology.
Discover the 5 biggest body recomp mistakes keeping intelligent, hard-working lifters stuck at the same body fat and muscle mass for months.
Learn why eating like you're dieting kills muscle protein synthesis, how training for calories instead of muscle sabotages strength gains, and why ignoring recovery destroys your metabolism and fat loss progress.
You'll get specific fixes to align your training, nutrition, and recovery so your body can actually build muscle and lose fat simultaneously... even if you're over 40.
Learn you how to measure the right metrics for body composition, set realistic timelines for muscle building, and escape the all-or-nothing mindset that keeps you spinning your wheels.
