1. Protein Powder (get it here)

Getting all of the protein you need to build muscle through whole foods alone is challenging. A high-quality protein powder (like JayLab’s) is an easy way to ingest a lot of protein without a lot of calories. It can be as simple as mixing the powder with water or blending it with some fruits and veggies for a full meal. Whatever protein powder you choose make sure it is an isolate (not a blend), is low in sugar, and has 20-30 grams of protein and 100-150 calories per serving.

2. Stay hydrated

We all know we should drink enough water every day, but are you really doing it? Staying hydrated will increase energy, support your immune system, increase joint function, aid in fat loss, plus a ridiculous amount of other good things. You should be drinking at least 50% of your body weight in ounces every day. So if you way 150 lbs, you should drink at least 75 ounces. And when we say water, we mean water. Nonwater drinks do not do the job that water does.

3. Vitamin D3 (get it here)

Vitamin D plays a major role in muscle protein synthesis, can lead to increases in strength, and optimizes your body's natural muscle-building hormones.  People who are the most deficient will see the most benefit which is good news because most people are deficient in vitamin d. You can get enough vitamin D with about 15 minutes of sun exposure a day or by eating a hanful of mushrooms. If you can’t do these two things, you can also take a supplement. Try to avoid the lab created, synthetic versions of vitamin D as they are not very effective. Vitamin D supplements that use whole foods as their ingredients are your best choice like this one here.

4. Sleep

We can’t overstate the importance of sleeping enough every night. Consistent quality sleep fills you with energy, supercharges recovery, stimulates muscle repair, and replenishes the vital hormones that help you build muscle and lose fat. You must get at least 7 hours of sleep EVERY night to get the full benefits. If your sleep needs some help here are some tips

  • get some early morning sun on your skin and in your eyes which primes your body and hormones to fall asleep at night

  • Get in bed at least 8 hours before you have to wake up

  • Keep your sleep and wake-up times consistent every day

  • Avoid screens an hour before bed

  • Keep your room cool and as dark as possible which promotes deeper sleep

  • Avoid caffeine in the afternoon

  • Avoid eating, alcohol, and marijuana 2-3 hours before bedtime

5. Creatine (get it here)

Creatine is an amino acid that helps build muscle.  You get it naturally from the food you eat.  You store it in your muscles and it’s one of your bodies natural sources of energy for muscle contractions.  Most people do not get enough creatine from their diets, so supplementing is a good idea if you want to maximize your muscle building potential.  Creatine is safe, and is the most studied muscle building supplement on the planet.  Be sure to use the monohydrate form. But BEWARE, creatine can cause you to gain a few pounds of water weight. And yes, it is perfectly safe for women!

6. Digestive Enzymes (get it here)

Your body creates digestive enzymes naturally.  But if the recommended protein intake we’ve provided you is higher than you’re used to, then you’re going to need some extra help to break down and utilize as much protein as possible. Adding more digestive enzymes will allow you to put the extra protein you are consuming to good use in your glutes and arms.

7. Fiber (get it here)

Fiber slows down the absorption of nutrients which helps maintain your blood glucose levels, preventing you from gaining unwanted fat. It is found in many whole foods. We are recommending you supplement it because most people do not get enough from their diet alone.

8. Consistency

It’s what you do the most of the time that matters. This program only works if you follow the system consistantly. So make sure you are hitting your nutrition targets, getting in your TFT workouts, and doing your activation sessions. If you lose your consistency, don’t let it be the reason you stop trying. Get back on the program and follow through with what you started.
