I hope you enjoy this post. If you want to transform your body using ‘Muscle-Centric Suspension Training,’ I see smart, driven professionals make the same mistakes over and over when trying to lose stubborn fat.
These are well-intentioned errors, but they can hold back your progress.
If you’re trying to build a leaner, stronger, and healthier body, here’s what to look out for…
And how to adjust for better results:
Mistake #1: Relying Too Much on Cardio
Cardio has its benefits, but it’s not the best approach for losing weight.
If you’re using your suspension trainer to do cardio-style workouts without focusing on muscle growth, you’re missing out.
Instead, spend 80% of your workout time building muscle and only 20% on cardio.
Use muscle-centric suspension training techniques: slow, controlled movements with time under tension.
The more muscle you build, the more calories you’ll burn at rest.
Mistake #2: Cutting Calories Excessively
If you’re struggling to lose weight despite exercising and eating healthily, the issue isn’t the amount of food…
It’s where that food is going.
Excessive calorie restriction can stress your body and lead to poor energy usage.
Instead of cutting calories, focus on boosting your metabolic flexibility.
Someone with great metabolic flexibility can burn carbs when they eat them. And burn fat when they eat it (or when they don’t eat at all).
With good metabolic flexibility, your body uses the nutrients you eat from food more effectively.
It doesn’t dump it straight into fat cells.
Good metabolic flexibility is directly correlated with reducing insulin resistance.
Have at least one meal a day carb-free.
Less insulin spikes from carbs means your body can re-sensitise to it, reducing insulin resistance.
When resistance drops, you’ll burn food as energy instead of storing it.
Mistake #3: Choosing “Easy” Foods Over Whole Foods
I know they’re quick, easy, and full of BS marketing promises, but…
Many convenience foods—supplements, shakes, bars—are loaded with sugars and empty calories.
Help short term, but screw your body long-term.
Stick to whole foods: meat, fish, eggs, nuts, grains, fruits, and vegetables.
With balanced portions, these foods will naturally support weight loss.
And provide the nutrition you need to stay energised.
Mistake #4: Not Overloading Your Body
To build strength and keep progressing, your body needs to be consistently challenged.
This is known as progressive overload.
Increase your reps, sets, or exercise variety each week to keep your body adapting.
Higher-volume training (more reps) will also help you burn fat more effectively.
Without progressive overload, results can stall.
Mistake #5: Eating the Wrong Type of Fuel
If you want your body to burn fat, it needs to be fed fat.
Focus on low-carb intake and higher fat intake in meals away from workouts.
By fueling your body with the right types of energy, it’ll learn to rely on fat stores, including stubborn fat, for fuel.
Nutrition is 70% of your transformation, while workouts are 30%.
It takes the right balance of both to see lasting results.
