Listen up, Meatheads. You can’t out-train a garbage diet. You want PRs? You want bigger lifts, faster gains, shredded cuts? Then fuel your body like a machine—not a fast food dumpster.
This week’s Tough Tuesday is all about dialing in your nutrition to smash plateaus, crush recovery, and stay in beast mode all year long.
RULE #1 — PROTEIN IS YOUR BEST FRIEND
Muscle isn’t built from wishes and selfies. It’s built from PROTEIN.
Target:
1 to 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight daily.
Sources:
-
Lean meats (chicken, turkey, beef)
-
Eggs & egg whites
-
Fish (tuna, salmon, cod)
-
Greek yogurt
-
Meathead Whey (duh)
Don’t make excuses. Get your grams in.
RULE #2 — CARBS ARE FUEL, NOT THE ENEMY
Low-carb warriors? Take a seat. If you train hard, you need carbs to perform and recover.
Focus on:
- Complex carbs: oatmeal, rice, potatoes, quinoa
- Around workouts: fast-digesting carbs to replenish glycogen
Tip: Slam a post-lift shake with Meathead Whey and a banana or some rice cakes to kickstart recovery.
RULE #3 — FATS KEEP YOUR HORMONES JACKED
Good fats = high testosterone = more strength, better recovery, better gains.
Sources:
-
Avocados
-
Olive oil
-
Nuts & seeds
-
Fatty fish
Don’t fear the fat. Balance it in.
RULE #4 — SUPPLEMENT SMART, NOT STUPID
A Meathead diet should start with whole foods—but supplements take your game to the next level.
Essentials:
✅ Whey — post-workout muscle fuel
✅ Creatine — proven strength & size booster
✅ BCAAs & EAAs — keep muscles fed during training
✅ Recovery — repair faster, train harder next day
No fairy dust. No hype. Just proven formulas to keep you in the fight.
RULE #5 — HYDRATE OR DIE
Water isn’t just for the weak. Hydration drives performance, pumps, and recovery.
- 1 gallon per day, minimum.
- Add electrolytes when training heavy or sweating hard.
You can’t lift big if your muscles are shriveled raisins.
FINAL WORD
Your body is a weapon—treat it like one.
Eat big. Recover bigger. Train like a savage.
Every bite, every scoop, every rep counts toward building a body that dominates.
No shortcuts. No bullshit. Just pure, hardcore results.
Stay strong. Stay hungry.
