Pre-session protocol

Warm-up · do this before every workout

Nutrition

Nutrition · Hypertrophy

Hit a daily protein target of 0.8–1 g per pound of bodyweight, anchor meals around whole-food carbs, and stay within ±300 kcal of the goal (surplus, maintenance or deficit) for the duration of the block.

Supplementation

Supplementation

Creatine monohydrate (5 g/day), a quality whey or plant protein to backfill daily protein, electrolytes around training, and vitamin D3 + magnesium for recovery.

Sleep & Recovery

Sleep & Recovery

Sleep 7–9 hours, walk 8–10k steps/day, protect one true rest day, and reduce intensity any week sleep or stress fall off a cliff.

Training Overview

Training Overview

Sessions pair the highest-return compound from the Onyx library with focused accessory work. Volume rises in waves and deloads on schedule so nothing breaks down.

2 Weeks · Progression

Progression

Weeks 1–2 build technique and baseline loads. Mid-block (weeks 3–5) progressively overload top sets. Final weeks intensify, then deload + retest in the closing week.

Prep tips for the week

Win the day before you step in the gym

8 quick habits that make every session count

Pack your bag the night before

Shaker, belt, straps, sleeves, headphones. Zero friction in the morning = zero excuses.

Eat 60–90 min before lifting

Slow carb + lean protein (oats + whey, rice + chicken). Fuels heavy work without sitting heavy in the stomach.

Hydrate early

500 ml water + a pinch of salt 30 min before training. Cramping and brain-fog usually = dehydration, not weakness.

Warm-up is non-negotiable

Run the full 3-stage protocol above. Skipping it is the fastest way to leave 10% on the platform.

Log every set

Weight, reps, RPE. If you don't track it, you can't progress it. Use the Onyx app or a notebook, just log.

Cap rest with a timer

Set the rest column as a timer on your watch. Drifting past rest kills intensity and stretches sessions 2x.

Protein within 90 min post-session

0.4 g/kg bodyweight. Whey + banana works, real meal works better. Recovery starts here.

Plan deload weeks

Every 4–6 weeks drop volume 40%. Strength is built in recovery, not in extra sets.

FAQ

FAQ

Can I move sessions around to fit my schedule?

Yes - keep the order of training days but swap which calendar day they land on. Avoid stacking the two hardest sessions back-to-back.

What if I miss a workout?

Slide the week back by one day rather than doubling up. Recovery is the variable that creates progress.
