Question 1

Do you write Meal Plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes! After completion of the initial consult form you will receive a fully customized meal plan based on what YOU like and your tailored macronutrients if you prefer to flexible diet.

Question 2

How many times a week do you program training for?

Accepted Answer

Only as many as YOU can comfortably maintain weekly. The ain goal in working with TNT Strength is finding a routine you can stick to that's sustainable for your lifestyle. Where I see many people go wrong is set out to train everyday and on weeks where you can only get 3 in, you feel like you've failed yourself or your trainer. We set realistic goals here and make sure you can hit every programmed session and leave feeling better than ever!

Question 3

Do I need to lift heavy to see results?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Strength training is key for muscle growth and performance, but progressive overload is what really matters—whether that’s increasing weights, reps, or intensity over time. That’s where I come in—to guide you on exactly how to make progress and get the results you’re after!

Question 4

Do I need to track my food to reach my goals?

Accepted Answer

Tracking can be a useful short-term tool to understand portion sizes and macronutrient balance. But it’s not essential for everyone—some thrive with structured meal plans, while others prefer intuitive eating with guidance.

Question 5

Can I lose fat and build muscle at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it depends on training experience, nutrition, and recovery. Beginners and those returning from a break can see both, while advanced lifters may need to focus on one at a time for the best results.

Question 6

Do I need to cut carbs out or go keto to make weight (combat sports)?

Accepted Answer

No! Carbs are highly important in fight camp and your primary source of fuel. A balanced approach is key. Carbs are an important energy source and cutting them too drastically can lead to fatigue, decreased performance, and an increased risk of overtraining and injury. Instead, I focus on optimizing your nutrition with the right balance of macronutrients (protein, carbs, and fats) based on your current weight &fight weight and training needs. This way, you can make weight safely while maintaining peak performance, repeat effort sprint ability, and overall health. A sustainable approach is always better than extreme dieting!

Question 7

How long should my weight cut last?

Accepted Answer

Ideally, weight cuts should be spread out over several weeks to ensure it's gradual and safe. I’ll help you plan your weight cut with enough time to optimize your body composition and performance, avoiding the crash dieting that can drain energy and hinder your performance in the ring or octagon.

Question 8

How does nutrition affect my performance and weight cut?

Accepted Answer

Nutrition is critical for fuelling your fight camp and making weight. I provide a tailored nutrition plan that focuses on macronutrient timing, proper hydration, and maintaining lean muscle, so you can fuel your body optimally during training and cut weight effectively without sacrificing energy or strength.

Question 9

What’s the best way to make weight without compromising performance?

Accepted Answer

The best way to make weight without compromising performance is through strategic weight management. Instead of drastic dieting or extreme dehydration, focus on a well-structured, gradual plan. The goal is to reduce body fat while preserving lean muscle mass. Not having a plan and extreme dieting such as going keto or leaving all the weight a week out is what impacts performance. Having a plan in place helps prevent any negative diet effects on performance
