Men over 30 who eat less to lose fat trigger a fight-or-flight response that stalls results. Vinci was 50 lb overweight and starving himself with nothing to show until he started training every set to muscular failure, which built muscle and increased his resting calorie burn.
As a 30 to 50-year-old man, never, ever, ever just eat less to lose fat. Because when you simply eat less, your body goes into a state of fight or flight, and it'll keep you stuck forever. And when my client Vinci came to me, he was doing just that. 50 pounds overweight, starving himself, and no results to show for it. But now he's got his dream physique, and he even keeps up with me in the gym, which at one point he thought would never be possible. What's crazy is that it's so simple, you wouldn't believe me. He stopped trying to just eat less and instead fixed his metabolism to make his body burn more. Here's how. For every single working set in the gym, he pushed himself to failure. That means you cannot do even one more rep. Pushing to failure creates the most muscle growth, and muscle burns more calories at rest, therefore boosting your metabolism. So next time you work out, Don't let yourself stop with 5 reps in the tank. Go until you can't anymore. And if you're 30 to 50 years old, feeling like Vinci, overweight, unhappy with the man in the mirror, DM me the word shred and we can talk about my one-on-one coaching program.
