You've been hitting the gym hard (because you're well-ard) - 5 sessions a week, crushing yourself every time, eating your greens & sleeping like a champ...
But the results you want just aren't there?
I hate to say this, but it's not your routine...it's you *dramatic gasp*

Mostly A's
You're obviously ghandi - nailing it all. The issue could be your training itself, perhaps the timing of your sessions is off, you're not able to push yourself or just need a boost, speaking to a PT to maybe look at a 1-off session or even tackling nutrition might be worth it.
Mostly B's
Okay so you're halfway there! I feel my B's are still stuck in the more is better mindset just a touch! So lets ditch that immediatley & I want you to get serious! Go all in, drink that water, sleep that sleep, trim your sessions down a touch & see where you are in 6 weeks!
Mostly C's
Alright my C's - I C you (not sorry). The intention is there, that's half the battle! But you're missing the mark on some of the real important things. For example: Food, water, rest... You my friend, are a strong candidate for a Glow Up - 6 weeks of accountability & levelling up!
Help me, I'm a hybrid of failure & success...(a mix of A's B's C's)
Right mateys, while you may not be one extreme or the other, chances are whichever point you are missing, it's a biggie. Use your intuition, which point do you know is letting the team down? If you're still stumped, get in touch & we can get you on the road to your goals.
