Quick one today. Most people know what they should be doing. Eat better. Sleep more. Train consistently. The problem is not knowledge. It is execution. And execution without a system is just motivation waiting to run out. Dan works in oil and gas. At 43 he went from one business to three, travels internationally, and has more on his plate than most people will manage in a lifetime. He also has visible abs and is down 20 pounds. Not because he found more time. Not because he has more...

Low-Carb Diets and Testosterone: What You Need to Know You've probably heard that cutting carbs is the secret to getting lean. In reality, long-term low-carb diets can tank your testosterone and make fat loss harder.Here's the science. Carbs lower SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin), making more free testosterone available for your body to use. Low-carb diets spike...

Hey Reader, Thiago Fornazier is a 35-year-old father and real estate agent in Denver, Colorado. He's a former athlete — actually, he's a former coach — and we worked at the same gym 10 years ago. Even guys like Thiago–who have been athletes and who "know what to do"–get elite-level results when they have elite-level coaching. Thiago is like a lot of the men I work with… Working 50+ hours per week. Being a great dad and trying to have a life. His weight crept up week by week to 218 pounds. He...

Hey Reader, If getting lean and healthy was easy, everyone would do it. But, 70% of the USA is sick and overweight. AND… 90% of people who lose 10% of their weight (think, 20lbs for a 200 lb person) regain it. And men today have testosterone levels a full 20% lower than their fathers did–yikes. If you're here… That means you're willing to break the mold and retake control of your health. Men inside the Elite Bach Performance Coaching Program quickly realize… Fitness is a force multiplier....

Hey Reader, I started Bach Performance as a blog when I was 23. I'd already been coaching for 4 years -- youth athletes, college athletes, anyone who would listen. I wrote about what I was seeing: busy men who wanted to get in real shape despite careers, families, and the fact that they weren't 22 anymore. I felt like an imposter. Who was I, at 23, coaching executives twice my age? But I kept going. Because the results spoke for themselves. 17 years later, I've coached 3,000+ people. NFL...

If I wanted to work hard in the gym and NOT get sustainable results, here's exactly what I'd do. > Make my goal "burning calories" instead of building muscle. > Take short rest periods and do more circuits. > Lift lighter and do more reps to "get a pump." > Have no plan... just switch it up every day to "confuse" my muscles (rookie mistake). > Go all-or-nothing with my diet. (Good luck sustaining that and learning about fat hyperplasia) > Avoid family meals and restaurants in the name of...

There are two types of status. The first is bought. The watch. The car. The VIP table. Nothing wrong with it. But let's be honest about what it is. The second can't be bought (well, maybe butt implants but I don’t think that’s my crowd). It's the confidence that walks into a room before you do. The lean, strong body that tells a story without saying a word. The respect that comes from actually doing the work. Even the wealthiest people in the world can't skip that process. They can't buy...

My team and I together something I think you will find immediately useful. It is called the ADE Nutrition Strategy, and it is the exact framework we use with our busiest clients to stay lean without thinking about food all day. No meal plans. No tracking every bite. No willpower required. Just three simple principles that eliminate the guesswork and handle 80 percent of your nutrition on autopilot, so you have flexibility left for the stuff that actually matters: family dinners, client...

Welcome to Final Rep Friday... your no-BS guide to getting stronger, leaner, and more energized without living in the gym. Training to Failure: What the Science Actually Says A study published in The Journal of Sports Sciences found no significant differences in muscle growth between training to absolute failure and stopping 1-2 reps shy of failure. Most people think they're training to failure, but aren't even close. True failure means you physically cannot complete another rep. Many stop...
