Ideas from the masterclass
Most fitness complexity is unnecessary.
Menno works through the research topic by topic, then brings it back to a short set of principles you can keep up for years.
Energy balance decides the direction.
Every diet that works does so by changing how much energy you take in.
Lesson 1 · Energy Balance
Protein matters more than protein timing.
How much you eat across the day counts for more than an exact window after training.
Lesson 2 · Protein
Progress is measured, not felt.
Sweat, soreness and a pump don’t necessarily mean you’re progressing.
From the masterclass
Cardio has different jobs.
Fat loss, health and performance each call for different thinking.
Lesson 11 · Cardio
