Do you struggle with making meals consistently? Do you go to the grocery store and buy a bunch of random stuff only to watch half of it go bad down the line? I think we've all been there.

Iโ€™m proud to share with you the system that I use with my family that has made the process a lot more stress-free, healthier, and efficient - all just with my phone! Check it out here: antranik.org/how-to-meal-plan-for-the-week-with-yoโ€ฆ

Let me know what you think. I'd love to hear how it works for you or if you have any questions.

I get tons of emails from people who say their biggest struggle is CONSISTENCY.

What is the reason YOU struggle with consistency?

I only have the ability to put 4 options here... but I know there's many more reasons than this. I'd love to hear you put it in your own words in a comment below!

Hey everyone, I get a lot of e-mails from people who are unsure what equipment they should have OR they run into issues with being able to install a pullup bar (shoddy door frames, landlord doesn't allow drilling, etc)

So, to solve this, I just published a comprehensive blog post detailing how to build the ultimate home gym, BOTH for people with ample space who can do both weightlifting and calisthenics and those with small spaces/minimalists!

This article includes comprehensive options for installing pull up bars and rings (with pros and cons of each type, drilling/no drilling, etc), adjustable dumbbells, therapeutic/mobility equipment as well as a primer on how to workout with bodyweight exercises.

It's also the first blog post that incorporates the new brand-palette since the new website launch! I hope you find it useful!

Hey everyone, I'm proud to announce, after countless hours, and with the help of awesome photographers, designers, and developers, my website has a completely fresh look and feel to it!

โ€ข The Home Page is a work of art IMO: antranik.org/

โ€ข All the free blog posts are presented in a more accessible way with a clear search bar: antranik.org/blog-archive/

โ€ข The page for my programs are organized in a way that makes it more evident what each program solves: antranik.org/home-workout-programs-without-equipmeโ€ฆ

โ€ข There's also a new product page for tools and equipment that I personally stand by 100%: antranik.org/products/

**Important Note: If you have an account and want to login, you MUST reset your password first.** (Sorry about that, no way around it due to the migration process!)

Now that this new website is setup, the best part is that I can go back to releasing new posts and videos at a normal rate! So... 2025 is going to be nothing short of AMAZING because I'm going to share with you insights that I've been wanting to for a long time!

PS: if you run into any bugs, please let me know so I can squash them!

I feel about 1000 times better on the days that I do my strength training.

Even if that means just 5-sets, spread throughout an ENTIRE afternoon, super far apart.

โฃ
One trick though is to always tell them to ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐›๐ฅ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฆ๐ž๐š๐ญ which usually adds on $3-4 to your order.โฃ
โฃ
For a specific recommendation: I found that El Pollo Loco has a โ€œDouble Chicken Bowlโ€ which has ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ–๐  of protein for around $11 which is actually really good considering itโ€™s not fried and the rest of the ingredients are generally very good (avocado, beans, etc). The sodium is obviously high (itโ€™s still fast food), so itโ€™s not โ€œhealthyโ€ but it IS healthier than most other options. โฃ
โฃ
By the way, this post was not sponsored by El Pollo Loco. ๐Ÿคฃโฃ

โฃNow Iโ€™d love to know, what is ๐˜๐Ž๐”๐‘ go-to high-protein meal when you canโ€™t cook at home?

I had my first Father's Day yesterday at my favorite place... THE BEACH! We knows mothers are the back-bone for the family, but fathers don't nearly get enough recognition despite them being a pillar for the success of the family-unit. So... big shout-out to all the fathers doing their best! You're doing GREAT!

Hey there! I'm in the process of overhauling my website and one of the things I realized is that I haven't officially collected any testimonials over the 10+ years I've been doing this!

You could write about anything: from the YouTube video tutorials & yoga flows, to the blog posts on my site, to the reddit posts & motivational months, to the premium programs, and so forth.

I've received so many good comments over the past 10+ years. so I know you're out there!

Just fill it out here: form.typeform.com/to/ZuGv6k2F
