What ACTUALLY changed my body composition

Body recomposition = building muscle while reducing body fat.

Not a quick weight loss phase. Not a bulk. Not perfection.

For me, recomposition came from doing a few simple things really well:

• training 4x/week with repeated movements

• progressive overload instead of constant program hopping

• prioritizing protein from real meals

• eating enough to support training + recovery

• backing off ultra-processed “protein everything” that left me bloated and inflamed

This approach isn’t flashy, but it’s sustainable.

And it’s the reason my body actually changed.

If you’ve been “doing everything right” but feel stuck, it’s often not about doing more… it’s about doing less, better.

👉 Save this if body recomposition is your goal

👉 Comment RECOMP if you want help applying this to your own training
