New era for this account. Still into crypto. But I've spent 16 years training, studied biomedical science, and built a coaching business helping burnt out professionals transform their health through science they actually understand. Less chart watching. More myth busting. Welcome to Cerberus Coaching.

Always saw the biggest guy at my college gym eating sour patch kids inbetween his sets and my underdeveloped brain could not comprehend why a man so jacked would eat something so taboo (this was peak low-carb era). But now I understand. Fast carbs (glucose, dextrose, sucrose) enter your bloodstream immediately. Working muscles sucks that glucose out of your blood via GLUT4 transclocation, independent of insulin. You bypass the usual metabolic bottlenecks and feed your engines mid-burn. High intensity training is heavily dependent on glycogen and glycolosis. Burn through your glycogen stores and your performance suffers. Less explosiveness, no pump, more cortisol. Keeping your muscles fueled mid-workout gives you everything you want and need. Glucose has an osmotic effect. It pulls water into muscle cells and hydrates you at an intracellular level (very anabolic btw). You get better bloodflow, bigger/fuller muscles, better contraction. You can sustain peak output for the entirety of your workout. Its not just your muscles that are being fueled either. Your brain is a glucose hog. Low blood sugar during long sessions is the leading cause of fatigue and poor motor output. Hence why glucose microdosing is beneficial for cognitive tasks as well (especially hybrid psycho/physiological tasks like martial arts, sports etc.) Better yet, exogenous glucose blunds cortisol-induced tissue breakdown. Extremely anti-catabolic. You perform better, you feel better, you recover better, and you leave your workout less fried than you otherwise would. All while giving you a perfect excuse to get your sugar fix in guilt free.

4/ This is the stuff I cover in detail with every client I work with. If you're stuck in a cycle that keeps resetting, DM me STUCK. I'll tell you exactly what's going wrong.

3/ The fix isn't to eat even less. That makes it worse. The fix is periodisation. Structured refeeds. Tracking the right metrics. Working with your biology instead of fighting it.

Most people think they failed their diet. They didn't. The diet failed them. Here's why:

- Personalised nutrition plan. Meals you’ll actually enjoy. None of this plain boring chicken, rice and broccoli. - Custom training programme. Suited to your schedule and preferred style of fitness & training. Cos not everyone enjoys bodybuilding style strength training. - Weekly progress and accountability check-ins with video feedback, along with WhatsApp communication whenever needed. All facilitated through the Kahunas coaching app straight from your phone 📱 3 Months, £150. Available till places gone. DM ‘SUMMER’ to get started. Any questions, fire away ✌🏼

Starting my own summer shred today. 🔥 In the spirit of that, I’m launching a 12 week summer fat loss program. 👇🏼

'Everything happens for a reason' is a cop out. It moves accountability from yourself to some mythical force you can't control. Nothing changed in my life until I stopped waiting for reasons and started building them. Follow if you're done waiting and ready to build.

80% of your fat loss results come from 20% of actions. Most people obsess over the wrong 80%. They stress about meal timing, supplement stacks, and which cardio machine burns more calories. Meanwhile the 20% that actually matters: calorie deficit, protein target, progressive overload - They neglect it. DM me STUCK if you want to know which 20% to focus on for your situation.

You can run a business, manage a team, and close six-figure deals. But you can't make it up a flight of stairs without breathing heavy. The cognitive dissonance is real. If that hit a nerve, give this a follow. I help professionals fix this.

Nice abs and a strong core are pretty high on most people's wish list. But when it comes to training the core, we somehow throw out the fundamental, science-based exercise principles that govern skeletal muscle exercise adaptations. Think about it. If you wanted bigger quads and I told you we were only doing wall squats, you'd look at me like I was crazy. That's exactly what’s happening with your core when all you’re doing is planks and 3 sets of crunches. The size principle matters here. If you're never generating high levels of force, large portions of your motor units never get recruited — and what doesn't get recruited doesn't get stronger. Fatigue and burning are not the same as force production.

This is why I teach the why behind everything. When you understand what's actually happening in your body, you stop falling for marketing dressed up as science. Follow me for more of this.

Your body cycles between anabolic and catabolic states constantly. Both are essential. Fearing catabolism is like fearing exhaling because you prefer inhaling.

Going catabolic isn't bad. It's the most misunderstood term in fitness. A thread on why the fitness industry has been lying to you 🧵
