The scales are misleading more people than almost anything else in fitness. Last week I talked about losing 1.9kg of fat while gaining muscle… and the scales barely moved. Most people would've assumed the plan wasn't working. That mindset alone is keeping thousands of adults stuck. Because they're watching one number instead of paying attention to: – Waist measurements – Strength – Recovery – Energy – How clothes fit – Actual body composition That's just one of the 5 mistakes I break down in this episode. The others? Under-eating protein. Training with intensity but no structure. Skipping warm-ups. Treating recovery like laziness. None of them are dramatic. That's why they're easy to miss. But together they explain why so many former athletes feel like they're working hard with very little to show for it. Your body probably hasn't stopped responding. The inputs just need updating. Go listen to the full episode, it'll help you spot the gaps most people never realise are there.
