Starting Strength Nutrition Coaching
Individualized Nutrition Coaching to Improve Performance and Optimize Body Composition
Recovery is the Key to Getting Stronger
How the "stress, recovery, adaptation cycle" works
1Lift Weights
"Stress" is applied by lifting weights in the gym, using the Starting Strength model, under the guidance of a coach.
2Eat and Sleep
"Recovery" occurs by eating sufficient protein and enough overall calories to build tissue and support body composition goals. Sleep 7+ hours per night.
3Get Stronger
An optimal training stress with adequate nutrition will result in a strength "adaptation" which means lean tissue growth and improved body composition.
4Repeat the Process
Get coaching at a Starting Strength Gym to optimize the "stress" and "recovery" aspects of training to make rapid progress.
