High performers don’t need more hacks—they need a simple, repeatable system. Learn how doing less (but better) leads to real, sustainable success.

Tired of undoing a week of progress by Sunday night? Learn how high-performers can stay on track with flexible, habit-stacking weekend strategies.

Let’s get one thing straight—if your workout plan still thinks it’s 2011 and you’ve got endless time, zero injuries, and no children asking for snacks every 14 seconds… it’s time for a serious update.

You don’t need 90-minute gym marathons, five-day splits, or workouts that leave you crawling to the parking lot. What you need is a plan that matches your life—not one that competes with it.

Three full-body workouts. Under an hour. Built for the boardroom and the back patio, not just the bench press.

In this week’s article, I’m breaking down how to train with the intensity of a CEO—not the confusion of a YouTube fitness rabbit hole. This is the real high-performer’s guide to getting strong, lean, and athletic—without blowing up your schedule or your spine.

In the rush to see progress or reach a goal, many people sacrifice proper form, technique, and control, leading to plateaus, disappointment, and even injury. Instead, focusing on other aspects of the exercise before increasing weight can create an environment for more sustainable progress, leading to better long-term results and a reduced risk of setbacks.

The main takeaway here is simple: You can't achieve all your fitness goals at once. Rotate through your goals every 3-4 months to keep things interesting and make progress across different areas over the year.

My Diet

Keep Protein High: This helps in retaining as much muscle as possible and staying satiated.

Incorporate Veggies/Fruits at Every Meal: Better digestion, less bloat, and again, staying satiated.

Stay Hydrated: This is vital and can be a category on its own.

My Workouts

Weight Training: Very little change here. I still run my program of 4 strength training days/week. This year, I did transition from more of an athletic development style programming to bodybuilding. Weight training still takes priority to keep as much muscle as possible (protein intake + lifting weights = muscle).

Cardio/Conditioning: Addition of some cardio with 2 higher intensity sessions and 2 low-intensity sessions. Too much intensity can hamper recovery and stall progress, as the body fights back. If I can’t get them all in, I make sure I get in my 2 low-intensity sessions.
