🧠 Quick Gym Hack: Film Yourself.
Not for clout. For clarity.
Most lifters plateau because their form slips over time without realizing it. Filming a few sets lets you:
Spot technique breakdowns
Fix posture, bar path, depth
Track visual progress (nothing hits like seeing your own gains)
If you're serious about leveling up, data beats guessing — and this is free feedback in 5 seconds.
💡 Gains Tip of the Week: Pre-Hydration > Mid-Workout Guzzling
Chugging water mid-set? You're already behind.
Aim for:
🕒 20–30 oz of water + electrolytes ~45 mins before you train.
Hydrated muscle = better contractions, better blood flow, better pump.
And if you're sipping pre-workout? Mix it with extra water, not just 4 oz like the label says.
📉 Myth Busted: “You need pre-workout to perform.”
Caffeine helps — no lie. But…
The real pre-workout stack is:
✅ 7+ hrs sleep
✅ 40g carbs
✅ Hydration
✅ A clear plan + mental intent
Pre gives you a boost. But it’s the foundation that brings results. Don't depend on stim highs to chase real strength.
🧠 Deep Insight: You’re Not Lacking Motivation — You’re Lacking Momentum
Waiting to “feel ready” is a trap.
Most PRs, clean eating streaks, and body transformations start while unmotivated.
Start small.
Start scrappy.
Start today.
Consistency doesn’t require motivation — it builds it.
👊 Final Word
Gains Digest isn’t here for surface-level fitness fluff.
You want to grow? You need knowledge. Precision. Power. And a plan.
Every issue gets you one step closer — physically and mentally.
So hydrate smart. Lift with intent. Eat for performance — not just taste.
