The 2017 New Year Battle Plan for every guy

Personalized training, nutrition, and supplement tips for men of every age, goal, and fitness level.

 

 Let's cut to the chase. You'll come across dozens of articles for dropping fat fast, whittling away your problem areas, and finally sculpting the physique you've never been able to achieve. Will you read them? Probably. Will they help you do what they promise? Probably not. To make changes that last and become habitual, you need a plan catered to you—your age, size, goals, activity level, and experience.

We've cultivated somewhat of a blueprint for 5 different "guys." Now, you might not fall into the exact mold, but pick the one you relate to closest and you'll get a more persoanlized recommendation for where you need to make changes to your lifestyle. We've consulted with top-notch experts to pinpoint what you need to know as far as training, nutrition, and supplements go. Ready for 2017 to be the year you drop the excuses and dropkick the foolish fad diets and unrealistic workout programs? Good. Us too. Meet the experts:
