Explain the goal and your starting point.
Talk about your training background and the routine you can support. What is appropriate for one person is not automatically the right plan for another.
Avoid borrowing exact targets.
A calorie or protein number in someone else’s article is not a personal prescription. Discuss nutrition and training together before making changes to your own program.
Allow the plan to be reviewed.
Use check-ins to describe the work you are doing and ask questions about your priorities. No particular combination of muscle gain and fat loss, or timeline for it, is guaranteed.
This editorial preview preserves the topic of a legacy Team Elite article. Unsupported clinical claims, universal prescriptions and guarantees are not carried forward. It is general reading, not medical advice. Read the health disclaimer.
