Mindset Shift: The Difference Between “Trying” and Executing

We hear it all the time:
“I’m trying to eat better.”
“I’m trying to get back into a routine.”
“I’m trying to stay consistent.”

But here’s what separates those who see real change from those who stay stuck:
Trying is emotional. Executing is intentional.

When you're "trying," you're still negotiating with yourself. You’re relying on how you feel in the moment.
But when you start executing — that’s when things shift.

Execution means:

• You prep your meals even when you're tired.

• You train on schedule, not just when you're motivated.

• You check in with your coach because it’s part of your structure — not because you “feel ready.”

Most guys don’t lack the ability.
They lack the follow-through.

The plan works — but only if you do. And the men getting shredded in this program? They aren’t perfect. They just stopped "trying" and started executing.

If you want results, stop negotiating.
Start executing.

Resource Highlight: 3 Common Lifting Mistakes

Lifting hard doesn't always mean lifting smart.

Most guys stall out because of a few simple (but common) mistakes:

• Resting too little between sets

• Prioritizing weight over form

• Ignoring progression tracking

These habits don’t just slow results — they stop them completely.

Pro Tip: Beat Late-Night Cravings Like a Pro

Late-night cravings aren’t just about hunger — they’re usually tied to stress, boredom, or habit. Here’s how to stay in control:

• Front-load your protein:
  Most under-eat protein during the day. Hit your target early to stay fuller longer.

• Pre-plan your night snack:
  Save 100–200 calories for a smart option — Greek yogurt, a protein shake, or rice cakes with almond butter. Planned beats panicked.

• Know your trigger time:
  Is it TV time? Scrolling your phone? Build a ritual around it: peppermint tea, brushing your teeth, or a walk.

• Set a non-food wind-down routine:
  Cravings often come when you’re mentally shutting down. Create a bedtime routine that doesn’t revolve around the pantry.
  
  Control your night — control your results.
  
  Late-night wins separate the “trying” from the committed — and mastering this habit could be the game-changer you’ve been missing.
