PROTOCOL
Your body. Your protocol.
Run the protocol.

A complete body composition system. A complete system for understanding and changing your body. Built around your real goal, not generic ones.

First Principle

Your scale lies.

A bathroom scale gives you one number. That number includes muscle, fat, water, glycogen, organ mass, bone, and the contents of your gut. Two people can weigh the same and look completely different.

Water: ±3 to 5 lb/day

Salt, carbs, hydration, humidity. A salty meal can put 3 lb on the scale by tomorrow.

Glycogen: ±2 to 4 lb

Stored carbs. Each gram pulls 3 grams of water. Cut carbs, lose 5 lb fast, most isn't fat.

Muscle gain: +1 to 2 lb/month

Adding 1 lb of muscle and losing 1 lb of fat: same scale weight, different body.

First Principle

First, the truth.

You can train hard and eat clean and still go nowhere. Most people do. Not because they are lazy. Because they are working with bad information.

The scale lies. The mirror lies on bad days and good ones. "Calories in, calories out" is true but incomplete. Hormones, sleep, stress, training type, food quality, timing, recovery, they all move the needle. Some more than others.

Most people track one or two of these. Maybe. Then they wonder why progress is slow.

The fix isn't more discipline. It's better information.

What This Is

What Protocol is.

One system, built around your real goal.

Not weight loss. Fat loss.

Not bulking. Lean mass.

Not generic plans.

Targets calibrated to your lean mass, your goal, your training days.

Every number, calories, protein, training volume, recovery, is tied to one real outcome you pick on day one.

Years of studying the research. Years of testing it on myself and the men I work with. Years of separating what works from the noise the fitness industry sells.

The system I wish I'd had at 30. Built for my patients first. Now everyone. 50 and thriving.

Step 1 of 5

How will you measure progress?

The system works either way. Pick what matches where you are right now.

I have body comp data
SECA, DEXA, InBody, or Evolt scan numbers. Best signal we can use.
I want to get a scan
We will help you find one. Estimate now, calibrate later.
No scan, just track progress
Mirror, clothes, waist, gym gains. The basics still work.
Step 2 of 5

Your stats

Body fat % is the most useful number. Pick the path that fits you: you know it, you can calculate it, or you can skip and add it later.

From a scan (DEXA, SECA, InBody, Evolt) or a clinical estimate. Most accurate option.

Male reference
Essential (survival only)3 to 5%
Athletic6 to 13%
Fit14 to 17%
Average18 to 24%
High25%+
Step 3 of 5

What is the goal?

Not sure? Most people should start with "Maintain (recomp)." It builds muscle and loses fat at the same time, the slow steady way. You can change this any time later.

Step 4 of 5

Training focus

Not sure? Pick "Balanced." It is the right choice for most people most of the time. You can switch later.

Step 5 of 5

Training schedule

Not sure? Most people do best on 3 days/week. Start there. You can move to 4 days after 4 to 6 weeks once it is a habit.

3-day = full body each session (Mon/Wed/Fri is common). 4-day = upper/lower split (Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri is common). Off days are rest or light cardio.

Your Numbers

Here's what the protocol says.

Built from your inputs. Adjust anytime in settings.

Home shows daily targets. Track logs scans, weigh-ins, and progress. Plan handles macros and meals. Train runs your workouts plus cardio and steps. Learn is the playbook.
