Free, practical guides on training splits, programming and nutrition — the same routines and numbers FitnessMaxxing uses.

Guide

Push/Pull/Legs Split

The 3-day and 6-day schedules, a full sample routine, and who it does and doesn't suit.

Guide

How to Calculate Your Macros

BMR, activity multiplier and goal adjustment, then protein, fat and carbs — with a worked example.

Guide

Progressive Overload

Double progression, the three record types, and the Epley formula — plus what to do when you stall.

Guide

Can You Lose Fat and Build Muscle at the Same Time?

Yes — but not at the same speed as doing either alone, and not equally well for everyone.

Guide

How Big Should Your Calorie Deficit Be?

How much to cut, how fast you can safely lose, and why the biggest deficit is almost never the best one.

Guide

Full Body or a Split? How to Choose

The honest version: the number of days you will genuinely train decides this, and almost nothing else does.

Guide

How Much Protein Do You Actually Need?

The number per kilogram, where it comes from, and why the timing questions matter far less than the total.

Guide

What to Eat Before and After Training

What actually helps a session, what only helps comfort, and which of the rules you have been told are selling you something.
