Interesting take….I know, for a long time, a lot of the hard-core lifters thought lifting free weights was the ONLY way to go!
A “poorly-built incline press”??? Did I read that correctly? I guess you like the incline press!!!!!!!!!!

I think “well-built” is a good point. I’ve used machines for many years, but was often frustrated when they didn’t seem to fit my body very well. (I’m of very average height-5’10”!)
However, these days, I think the machines are better-designed and able to be better-adjusted to fit everyone’s body! OK, maybe not Shaq, but everybody else!!! lol

If you eat your protein first in your meal, you will probably get fuller faster and ultimately eat less calories overall during that respective meal!

2. Protein-First Nutrition
His "good days" were only hitting half his protein target.
Chronically under-fueled = evening cravings.
We set a 150g daily protein target.
Once he hit it consistently, the "need" for ice cream simply vanished.
Peter isn't tracking calories or micro-managing his nutrition.
He's enjoying eating out with his son and having flexibility while traveling.

Walking is low-impact so it’s great for almost everybody!

3. Minimum Effective Dose Movement
With arthritis and bursitis, grinding wasn't an option.
We identified exactly which movements aggravated his hips and replaced them.
Daily walking (10k steps) and targeted mobility work kept him consistent without flare-ups.
Exercise became a tool for longevity, not punishment.
Peter is now well on his way to his goal of 88kg, proving that even with physical limitations and a busy life, transformation is inevitable with the right system.

I definitely believe that whole protein sources are tremendously helpful for satiety purposes….I have protein in EVERY meal or even snack..
Whole proteins are a potent tool for satiety, muscle maintenance and repair, and highly nutrient dense, per a study authored by @mackinprof himself!

Protein really crushes your hunger so foods like potato chips or ice cream have way less appeal!

Well, I think it depends more on what you eat. Obviously, potato chips and ice cream aren’t going to have a lot of protein or other nutrients. I think a protein snack would probably cause less problems.

1. The 8pm Hard Cutoff
Late-night snacking was destroying his sleep and spiking insulin before bed.
A non-negotiable 8pm cutoff for food and water gave his body the space to repair overnight.
He went from low energy to energy levels he hadn't felt in years.

Getting great abs is more about creating a calorie deficit through mainly your diet and physical activity than anything else. So you can do crunches, sit-ups, etc. all day long, but if you don’t remove the layer of fat covering your abs, no one will ever see your beautiful abs!

I actually rarely do more than six reps of anything…
The KEY to GAINS:
Choose a weight you can do with GOOD-GREAT technique that causes you to reach failure (or close) at 5, 6, 7ish reps
Once you can do that same weight with that SAME good-great technique while reaching failure (or close) at 8, 9, 10ish reps…bump the weight
Rinse and repeat forever
It is actually this SIMPLE, folks

Focussing on compound lifts like the deadlift usually offers the best “bang for your buck”!!!

One of the wisest things I ever heard from a fitness influencer was that you should try to eat AS MANY CALORIES as possible without gaining fat-not just starve yourself on as few calories as possible!
Most people are doing weight loss backwards.
They ask, “How little can I manage to eat, and how much can I move?” and then struggle to maintain the weight loss.
I’ve never loved that idea, and it has never made sense to me.
Why would we try to become as small as possible?
I’d rather do weight loss the way an athlete does it.
We build a body that wants to become lean automatically, and that creates a metabolism that actually works well.
That’s the idea behind The Athletic Rebuild, which is Metabolism-First Athletic Rebuilding for former athletes and active people over 40 who want to look athletic again, regain their strength, and feel physically capable.
The old way looks like this: eat less, do more cardio, lose weight, then struggle to sustain it.
The new way looks like this: build strength and capacity, fuel intelligently, adapt to real life, and achieve sustainable body recomposition.
Fat loss usually starts with how to eat less and burn more.
The Athletic Rebuild starts with a different question:
How do we build a stronger, more capable body that uses energy effectively, supports more food, and becomes easier to keep lean?
If you’ve tried the old way and it didn’t work for you, there is another approach, and it works with your body.
It’s built on the Metabolism-First Method, which I’ve spent over 6 years developing.
It combines metabolic principles with athletic training principles, and it comes down to 3 pillars:
Build: strength, aerobic fitness, and capacity, trained in a structure that suits your realistic week
Fuel: performance-focused nutrition with enough protein and enough food to support the work
Adapt: planning, recovery, and routines that flex around demanding work weeks, travel, and real life
It fits around your life as it is right now.
You’re working 40-60 hours a week, you have a family and other responsibilities, and you don’t have the time or bandwidth to train like a full-time athlete.
And you don’t need to.
I put the strategy into the structure of your training and nutrition, so the results come in a way that is realistic for your life.
The details:
12 weeks, plus 1 extra month free for this initial intake, so 4 months in total
1:1, capped at 5 spots so each person gets the attention they need
Doors open Monday, November 9, and close Thursday, November 12
I expect it to fill.
If this sounds like you, comment or message me “REBUILD” and I’ll send you the details so you can decide if it’s a fit for you or not.
You never have to stop being athletic, and I’d love to help you rebuild a realistic athletic life.
