The 3 Mistakes Keeping You Skinny-Fat (And How to Fix Them)
I've been training for years, and I see the same 3 mistakes destroy progress for 90% of people who walk into a gym.
Mistake #1: Program hopping
You do PPL for 2 weeks, then switch to bro split, then try some influencer's "shred program." Your body never adapts because you never give it a chance to. Pick ONE program and run it for 12 weeks minimum. Progressive overload doesn't work in 2-week sprints.
Mistake #2: Eating "clean" but not enough
Chicken and rice is great, but if you're eating 1,800 calories at 180lbs trying to build muscle, you're spinning your wheels. Track your protein (1g per lb of bodyweight) and eat in a slight surplus. Clean calories, but enough of them.
Mistake #3: Ignoring sleep and recovery
You don't grow in the gym — you grow when you recover. 7-8 hours of sleep is non-negotiable. If you're training 6 days a week on 5 hours of sleep, you're literally working against yourself.
Fix these three things and watch what happens in 90 days. Most people won't. Will you?
I built FitVault to give people the structure, the programs, and the accountability to actually follow through. If you're tired of guessing, come join us.
