TRAINING PHILOSOPHY

Nutrition

Nutrition plays a pivotal role in everyone's life. Just as I see exercise in every movement, it's vital to fuel your body with the proper nutrition, regardless of whether you're a top-tier athlete or working in an office.

Often, when people think of nutrition, they imagine hardship, discomfort, and lack of sustainability. However, I view nutrition as a tool—a means to enhance performance. There's no inherent dichotomy between "good" and "bad" foods; it's about the quality of what you eat. Each macronutrient can be leveraged to your advantage with the right knowledge.

Those who maintain exceptional physical condition don't suffer; they enjoy applying their understanding of nutrition to make optimal choices in any situation.

Ultimately, achieving peak fitness is about having a deep understanding of nutrition.

Training

I embrace an active lifestyle that extends far beyond the confines of a gym or a park. To me, every movement embodies an opportunity for physical training. With boundless possibilities and ideas, I believe it's essential to grasp our innate physical capabilities and tailor workouts with longevity and efficiency in mind.

Effort and structure are fundamental to achieving optimal results, in my view. Having crafted over a thousand distinct workouts, I continually share my insights, integrating fresh concepts into my regimen. Variety is key—I never settle for repetition, always seeking to explore the wealth of ideas available.

The adage "work smarter, not harder" resonates deeply with me. Time is precious, and training intelligently is paramount. A well-designed, efficient training plan maximizes results while minimizing resource expenditure, be it time, money, or health.

My training philosophy isn't just something I espouse—it's ingrained in who I am.

Recovery

I often come across quotes like "go hard or go home" or "no days off," but I find them somewhat nonsensical.

Just imagine the repercussions of depriving yourself of sleep or food—how would you function?

Recovery stems from balance. When you manage your training and lifestyle effectively, there's no desperate need for a "vacation" because you don't constantly feel drained.

Progress in physical training actually arises from recovery, not just from working out. Understanding the importance of proper nutrition and managing training stress is crucial for achieving this balance. And above all, prioritizing sleep is essential.

Maintaining a calm nervous system is a major key to achieving balance.

    I have been following the Zero Gravity Training philosophy of training 5 days a week for 3.5 years and have transformed physically , mentally and aesthetically significantly. I learned how to use my body to perform bodyweight and weighted exercises. I am able to do things like muscle ups, various kettlebell, Deadball, barbell exercises to mention a few. Also I learned the importance of nutrition to fuel the performance. The training had been challenging but fun and constantly evolving and varied which makes it very interesting! I am really grateful to Igor!
