View fullsize Make no mistake, if you want to change body composition and build a set of boulder shoulders, or fill out your jeans with some serious glutes, ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ gaining weight is a sure way to make that happen. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Too often I see people expecting radical transformations while not prioritising weight gain. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ It rarely happens. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ✅ Create an environment where growth is most possible - around 10% surplus of calorie intake⠀⁠⠀ ✅ Prioritise regular protein feedings (4-6 times a day)⠀⁠⠀ ✅ Spend a large amount of time (4-6 hours per week) under heavy loads training all muscle groups through their various actions.⠀⁠⠀ ✅ Make progressive increases in the loads lifted across multiple sets ⠀⁠⠀ ✅ Sleep 7+ a night ⠀⁠⠀ ✅ Have chill mode at least a couple times a day⠀⁠⠀ ⠀⁠⠀ 💡Keep doing above for years. Yes, years. It’s a timely process, but if you love the process, it becomes less about the outcome and more about who you become on the journey. ⠀
View fullsize We have been getting some great feedback on the taste, texture and digestibility of the new @pranaon formula. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Grab a 3kg box or 1kg bag now while we are stocked!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ There are certain things to look for when selecting a protein powder.⁣⠀⁠⠀ ⁣⠀⁠⠀ 🥤Macros: How much protein? Does it have minimal fats? Are the carbs excessively high? ⁣⠀⁠⠀ For the most part look for at least 20g protein, under 5g fat and under 10g carbs per serve.⁣⠀⁠⠀ ⁣⠀⁠⠀ 🥤Amino Acids: The amino acid profile is important to check. Namely look at Leucine content per 100g. You should be seeing close to 8g if not more per 100g.⁣⠀⁠⠀ ⁣⠀⁠⠀ 🥤Digestibility: How does it feel drinking it? Personal preference is a huge part of selecting a powder. Many powders will have fillers added to give smoothness, thickness, mixing etc, however they don't digest the same for everyone.⁣⠀⁠⠀ ⁣⠀⁠⠀ 🥤Sweeteners: We know that artificial sweeteners are safe to consume and will essentially allow for your favourite protein powder to stay at 160kcal and not skyrocket to 280kcal from added sugars. However if you are dead set on natural sweeteners, you may have to deal with a higher calorie/carb shake or just one that tastes like chalk.⁣⠀⁠⠀ ⁣⠀⁠⠀ 🥤Taste/consistency: Again personal preference here. Make sure you like the taste and feeling so you can actually look forward to your shakes instead of loathing them.⁣⠀⁠⠀ ⁣⠀⁠⠀ 🥤Cost: Likely to play a major role in your decision. Avoid super over priced powders as essentially they will be playing on marketing a premium product that in reality is the same basic protein shake that the cheaper ones have.⁣⠀⁠⠀ ⁣⠀⁠⠀ 🥤Other fluffy stuff: Shakes with 'fat-burning' properties, digestive enzymes, multi-stage timed released proteins etc will all cost you more and for what is likely to be a negligible benefit.⁣⠀⁠⠀ ⁣⠀⁠⠀ 🦖Take Home Message: Don't think too much. ⁣⠀⁠⠀ Does it taste good? ✅ ⁣⠀⁠⠀ Is it high in protein? ✅⁣⠀⁠⠀ Does it meet my budget?✅⁣⠀⁠⠀ ⁠⠀
View fullsize YES you will see changes in body as you lift weights, increase protein, walk more, eat more plants etc...⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ BUT don't let this be your sole focus. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ In an age of social media highlight reels, expert photo shoots and editing, body image is something we all must tackle. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Something we often work on with clients (without moving outside our scope of practice into psychology) is the fundamental 'whys' behind our goals and then determining what metrics we use to track progression.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ IF all we do is aim for a bodyweight, body fat or image based outcomes we are setting them up for an over obsession with physical changes and forgetting the dramatic changes we see in a multitude of other areas...⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Answer these:⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ - Am I stronger than before?⁠⠀ - Am I faster?⁠⠀ - Can I go longer?⁠⠀ - Do I puff less?⁠⠀ - Do I get injured less?⁠⠀ - Have I improved on annual blood check ups?⁠⠀ - Does my body move differently?⁠⠀ - What can I do now, that once was impossible to me?⁠⠀ - How do I see myself now?⁠⠀ - What are my daily thoughts about my body?⁠⠀ - What is one thing my body does that is unbelievable to me?⁠⠀ - How do I feel after a workout?⁠⠀ - How do I feel when I get up in the morning?⁠⠀ - How do I feel after a meal that I know is enhancing my health and longevity?
View fullsize Did you know I have a podcast?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Yup, it's a mega passion of mine. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ But I'm just going to let you know the last 3 episodes have been absolute winners if you want to dive into training smart, understanding energy balance & fat loss, and a deeper dive into learning when to track calories, when not to, and how to use your bodies natural hunger and satiety signals.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ It's a vegan nutrition and training focused platform helping vegans, plant predominant and plant curious folk to master their physique, training and eating.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I would love some feedback if you get a chance to listen.⁠⠀just search ‘vegan body coach podcast’ on your favourite podcast app ⁠@veganbody.coach That's all for now, ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ - Jax.
