is running their memorial day sale! Buy 1 get one up to 75% off! Got questions? Message me. Otherwise here are the supplements I recommend to pretty much everyone.

1. A protein powder. Top quality, complete protein That can be prepared faster than doing a set of squats.

2. Creatine. Powder or gummies. Legion ha both. I personally take Recharge. But, everyone in he gym should be taking 3-5g of creatine. There's also been research showing cognitive benefits as you near 10g per day.

3. Beyond that, know that all Legion supplements are gluten free and "clean." They also only sell evidence based stuff. So you wont see any BS detox teas or some grifty s**t Dr. Oz would try to sell you.

Back in my early to mid 20s, I learned about a training style called DoggCrapp from an online forum i was in. After reading a recent article on the training style, I've decided to bring it back. I really enjoyed it back in the day and don't remember why I stopped. Basically you have 2 groups of body part sets, A and B. Each set has 3 different days of exercises hitting those body parts, A1, B1, A2 etc. You do warm up sets as needed and then hammer one set to triple failure using rest-pause techniques. After this, you follow up with a 30-90 second extreme stretch where you hold that muscle group in an isometric stretch. Absolutely brutal, yet amazing. I'll keep my journey documented here.

What exactly is body recomposition? Simply put, it's when the body burns fat while simultaneously building muscle. No, you can't turn fat into muscle, but you can absolutely do both at once. This before and after from my most recent Dysfunctional 8-Week Program illustrates that effect perfectly.

Meet Ilana. We connected when she was a regular in my yoga class and have stayed in touch over the past year. She supplemented her yoga practice with sculpt-style classes and some casual weight training, but lacked the nutritional support and consistent structure to drive real body composition changes.

Enter my Dysfunctional 8-Week Program. Over eight weeks, we ramped her calories up significantly; upwards of 700 more than she was eating before, while maintaining a high-protein diet throughout. She was incredibly consistent with her steps, calories, protein, and fiber, and equally consistent with her workouts despite being in grad school with a vacation or two mixed in. That discipline resulted in her losing 7 lbs while increasing both muscle mass and strength. "Toned," if you will, though aside from lateral raises, she never touched light weights. Most of her sets fell between 5 and 15 reps, and she added strength every single week.

It's worth noting that at no point during these eight weeks was she actively trying to lose weight. Calories were only going up, and so were the weights. Moving forward, she'll continue building on those calories — and at some point she may choose to enter a slight deficit to shed a little more fat. Or she'll simply continue living her best life at maintenance.

My Dysfunctional 8-Week Program uses a structured Progressive Intensity Technique model I developed, meaning the program gets harder both as your strength increases and as I layer in additional intensity techniques.

I offer programs built around progressive overload, both in-person and online. I currently have openings for in-person sessions at 4:45 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. My online program is currently full, but I can absolutely add to to my waitlist 💪💪

Sunday night at Dysfunctional Training. Program development and the .

Came up with this movement tonight. Using my sissy squat and my smith. By their powers combined, your quads shall perish.

I have some open spots tomorrow! Any time between 430am and 6am! Let me know!

Next round starts on 5/10!! I have a couple more spots!

I also have some openings in my small groups!

Wanted to give a shout out to Ryan! He is coming up on 1 year with my online Dysfunctional program. He started with 4-5 months of maintenance, and getting used to the program, tracking, walking etc... Since then, has been progressing through a deficit. He is 40+ lbs down and stronger every week. Truly an inspiration!

Hypertrophy programs are not only about muscle gain. Paired with an intentional nutrition program, you can also experience SUSTAINABLE weight loss. As I said, he was tracking AT maintenance calories. It's important to figure out how to get important nutrients like protein and fiber at a higher calorie amount. If you don't, how are you expected to get those in a deficit?

If you're looking to improve your health, build muscle, lose weight, have fun or all of the above Dysfunctional Training is for you. Message me for details on my online program and my in person small groups.

Amazing work, Ryan!

Buy One, get one 50% off! You don't NEED supplements, but they sure as hell make things easier. Creatine and a protein powder are non-negotiable for most. Other supplements are beneficial as well. Got any questions? Ask me! code: MikeCollins
