🌱 FIBER 101

Protein gets a lot of attention, but are you getting enough fiber?

Most people aren’t. In fact, the majority of adults fall short of recommended daily fiber intake.

Fiber plays an important role in:

🦠 Gut and digestive health
❤️ Heart health
🩸 Blood sugar regulation
🥗 Fullness and appetite control
💪 Overall long-term health

A simple guideline is to aim for around 14g of fiber per 1,000 calories consumed, which puts many adults somewhere around 25–38g per day.

Easy ways to get more:

🥦 Vegetables
🍓 Fruits & berries
🫘 Beans & lentils
🥣 Oats & whole grains
🥜 Nuts & seeds

One important note: increase fiber gradually. Going from very little fiber to a lot overnight may leave your stomach less than thrilled. 😬 And make sure you’re drinking enough fluids as you increase your intake.

You don’t need to overcomplicate nutrition.

Eat a variety of whole foods. Get enough protein. Get enough fiber. Be consistent.

💥 YOUR WORKOUT DOESN’T NEED TO DESTROY YOU

Being exhausted, sore, or lying on the floor afterward doesn’t automatically mean you had a great workout.

The goal of training isn’t to create as much fatigue as possible. It’s to create enough of a stimulus to drive adaptation, then recover from it.

More fatigue ≠ more progress.

A productive workout should challenge you, but it should also allow you to recover, come back, and perform well again.

Some days you’ll push hard. Other days you’ll leave a little in the tank.

Both have a purpose.

Don’t judge your workout by how destroyed you feel afterward. Judge it by whether it’s moving you toward your goals.

Late night. Empty gym. Just Gavin and “Cindy.” 💪🌙

20 minutes:
5 Pull-Ups
10 Push-Ups
15 Air Squats

No crowd. No hype. Just putting in the work when nobody’s watching. 🔥

Way to get it done, Gavin! 👊

A great back day starts with a great warm-up. 💪

Two of our favorites:

🔥 Hang Scapular Depressions — wake up the lats and teach the shoulder blades to move and stabilize properly.

🔥 Powell Raises — target the rear delts and upper back while building shoulder control.

A few quality sets before the heavy pulling can help get the right muscles firing and prepare the shoulders for the work ahead.

Warm up with purpose. Then go pull something heavy. 💪

30-Minute AMRAP 💪🏃

A little different stimulus in Primal Performance today—combining cardio with a serious muscle pump.

Complete 8–12 reps of each movement, choosing a weight that brings you close to muscular failure within that rep range:

💪 DB Chest Press
💪 Inverted Rows
💪 DB Lateral Raises
💪 DB Bicep Curls
💪 DB Overhead Tricep Extensions
🏃 200m Run

The goal: challenge the muscles, get the heart rate up, and keep moving for 30 minutes.

A great combination of hypertrophy and conditioning. 🔥

Primal Performance 💪

Today’s session challenged athletes to hold a high output, recover, then do it again. Alternating between sprint efforts and max burpees demanded power, aerobic fitness, and mental toughness.

🏃 200m Run → Max Burpees
🚣 250m Row → Max Burpee Box Jumps
⏰ Recover. Reset. Repeat.

Every round was a chance to stay consistent under fatigue. That’s where real fitness is built.

We’ve been getting tons of questions about creatine lately, so let’s clear up some of the confusion.

Creatine isn’t just for bodybuilders.

In fact, it’s one of the safest and most effective supplements available, with benefits for people of all ages and fitness levels.

💪 Benefits of creatine may include:
✅ Increased strength and power
✅ Improved performance during high-intensity exercise
✅ Better recovery between training sessions
✅ Support for muscle growth when combined with resistance training
✅ May help preserve muscle as we age
✅ Emerging research suggests potential cognitive and brain health benefits

Common myths:

❌ “It damages your kidneys.”
➡️ Research does not support this in healthy individuals.

❌ “It’s a steroid.”
➡️ Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in your muscles and is also found in foods like red meat and fish.

❌ “You need to load it.”
➡️ Nope! A daily dose of 3–5 grams is enough for most people. Loading simply saturates your muscles a little faster.

💧 Pro tip: Stay consistent. Creatine works by building up in your muscles over time, NOT by taking it only before a workout.

The bottom line? Creatine is one of the most researched supplements on the planet, and for most healthy adults, it’s a simple, affordable way to support strength, performance, recovery, and long-term muscle health.
