You train hard. You track every damn macro. You're doing the double cardio grind. But your body still looks soft, flat, or watery. Something's off.
In this episode, I break down 11 reasons your physique isn't changing—even though you're doing "everything right." Trash protein quality. Chronic inflammation. Hormones out of whack. Training without progression. Stress jacking your cortisol through the roof.
This isn't motivational fluff. It's physiological fact. You don't rise to the level of your motivation. You fall to the level of your systems. Fix what's broken. Apply what works. Listen in and level up.
