Build the engine.
Three quality sessions beat one heroic collapse. The fourth day is gravy.

Protein check
Floor: 140 g. Target: 150 g.
Do the work that counts.
Must makes the session. Should builds the week. Bonus is only there when the engine has room.

The suit is built slowly.
Consistency first, progressive overload second, theatrics somewhere near the bottom.
The realistic contract
- Three sessionsDay A, B, and C make a complete week.
- Four exercisesMust and Should work fit the 45–60 minute cap.
- RIR 2–3Finish most sets with clean reps still available.
- Day D is bonusUseful for shape, never required for success.

Recomp targets
- Protein floor
- 140 g/day
- Ideal range
- 150–170 g/day
- Bodyweight
- 175–180 lb
- Creatine
- 5 g/day
Build meals around 30–45 g protein anchors. Shakes help; they do not need to carry the whole operation.
Lat pulldown cue
“Shoulders out of your ears, then elbows to hips.”
Let the shoulders rise into the stretch. Set them gently down, drive the elbows toward the back pockets, and control the return.
