8 quick habits that make every session count
Prep tips for the week
Win the day before you step in the gym
8 quick habits that make every session count
Shaker, belt, straps, sleeves, headphones. Zero friction in the morning = zero excuses.
Slow carb + lean protein (oats + whey, rice + chicken). Fuels heavy work without sitting heavy in the stomach.
500 ml water + a pinch of salt 30 min before training. Cramping and brain-fog usually = dehydration, not weakness.
Run the full 3-stage protocol above. Skipping it is the fastest way to leave 10% on the platform.
Weight, reps, RPE. If you don't track it, you can't progress it. Use the Onyx app or a notebook, just log.
Set the rest column as a timer on your watch. Drifting past rest kills intensity and stretches sessions 2x.
0.4 g/kg bodyweight. Whey + banana works, real meal works better. Recovery starts here.
Every 4–6 weeks drop volume 40%. Strength is built in recovery, not in extra sets.

FAQ
FAQ
Can I move sessions around to fit my schedule?
Yes - keep the order of training days but swap which calendar day they land on. Avoid stacking the two hardest sessions back-to-back.
What if I miss a workout?
Slide the week back by one day rather than doubling up. Recovery is the variable that creates progress.
