"I started training with Nayan in May 2023, and it’s been life-changing. He provided a personalized diet plan and a full-body workout program tailored to my needs. I’ve lost 12 kilos in five months, thanks to his regular check-ins and detailed guidance. Coach Nayan’s attention to detail is incredible. He tracked my progress consistently and encouraged me to stay active, even when life got in the way. His advice on fighting cravings and promoting simple, home-cooked meals was invaluable. What I appreciated most was his accessibility. He was always just a message away, ready to offer advice or adjustments. His training helped me improve my football performance by strengthening my legs, ankles, and lower back. I can confidently say that he’s the best personal coach a friend could ask for. If you’re looking to reach your fitness goals, Coach Nayan is the one to go to. He’ll create a plan tailored to your needs, but all he asks in return is that you give 100% and stay consistent. Thank you, Coach Nayan, for helping me build both physical strength and a strong mindset."

Not very lean right now, but I’m liking this fullness

Vishnu has made an incredible transformation over the last year that we have been working together, and this progress is a testament to his relentless effort.

The 34 kilograms of weight loss achieved is not even the most impressive part. Over the past year, Vishnu has built muscle, gotten stronger, broken multiple PRs, eliminated bad habits and completely changed the way he approaches fitness and nutrition, to the extent that people around him now draw inspiration from him.

It’s been an absolute pleasure coaching Vishnu and watching him transform in a truly holistic sense, and given his work ethic, I have no doubt that it’s going to get even better from here on out.

One day I will learn how to smile for the camera

This is what a day in my training week currently looks like.

I hope this helps.

Swipe till the end for other interesting side effects of following a good diet.

🎯 Don’t skip forearm training, it goes a long way in improving your grip strength, which makes you stronger on other exercises as well.

🎯 You can train your forearms everyday, since they recover quickly and can handle a lot of stimulus very well. However, do keep your recovery in mind and adjust the intensity of your training accordingly on a day to day basis.

🎯 You may perform 2 sets of each exercise, and select a rep range anywhere between 10-40 reps. For the static holds, you may set a time interval instead of a rep range.

How often do you train your forearms?

✅If you work out at the gym, this is the last chest training video you will ever need. Enjoy.

🔎 Look for these things when selecting a fish oil supplement:

▫️Always get a pure triglyceride form, and stay away from cheap forms like ethyl ester.
▫️Make sure capsule has a thick coating, and the box is not transparent, to prevent oxidisation from sunlight exposure.
▫️The label should explicitly mention the source(s) of the fish oil, along with the exact quantities of EPA and DHA content per serving.
▫️Always opt for unflavoured versions.

🔎 If you choose to consume algae oil instead, the above points still apply.

⚠️ Always make sure you store your fish oil in the refrigerator, otherwise it can turn rancid.

💊 Consume your omega 3 supplements with a high fat meal to ensure effective absorption.

🎯Exercise setup is a crucial factor which is, unfortunately, commonly overlooked by both beginners and experienced gym-goers alike.

⚠️Setting up exercises poorly leads to wasted energy, that could have been utilised in performing the exercise itself. While this may seem like a trivial issue, the wasted effort can build up over time and hold one back from progressing as fast as one ideally could have.

🎯Besides this, practising good exercise setup can also help prevent injuries in the weight room.

✅Simple fixes like placing your bench as close to the dumbbell rack as possible while performing exercises like dumbbell chest presses or dumbbell shoulder presses, to ensure that you don’t waste energy carrying the weights across the gym, or starting your Romanian deadlifts from the rack instead of the floor, or even something as simple as setting the pulleys on the cables at the height which best suits your structure — all these things can go a long way in making you stronger over time and keeping you injury free💪

🎯Here’s a detailed checklist for the cuff lateral raise, use it to set up and execute the exercise perfectly according to your structure and anatomy, and build some shoulders that not only look amazing, but are also truly strong and healthy from within.

[shoulders, middle delts, lateral raise, exercise selection, joint friendly exercises]

💪 Frequency is king 👑 when it comes to muscle growth, so train your delts as often as possible. Your delts recover fantastically, so start by training them at least 3 times per week.

🛡️ Selecting joint friendly movements is EXTREMELY important, especially when it comes to the shoulder joint, which is highly mobile in nature. This will make or break your shoulder health in the long run, and will allow you to frequently train your delts while keeping your joints nice and fresh.

🎯 Prioritise training the lateral head of the deltoid or “middle delts” more, since they do not experience as much stimulus as the front delts and even the rear delts, both of which are trained quite well in pressing movements and heavy rowing movements respectively.

DM me “Shoulders” and I’ll send you the best exercises to get some massive delts 💪

🎯 Select a rep range between 8 to 20 reps and perform 2-3 good quality sets to simulate muscle growth

🎯 Progressively overload on these exercises with good technique

🎯 Use straps if your grip becomes a limiting factor

🎯Biceps training is relatively simple — but selecting joint movements which allow you to train the muscle at its different lengths can make a significant difference in the long run.

✅Protein has several important functions in our body besides muscle building, and having an adequate intake of protein everyday is crucial for optimal health and functioning of the body.

⚠️ However, you don’t need to consume absurdly large amounts of protein in an attempt to increase muscle growth. Consuming 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of lean body mass per day is more than enough for optimal muscle growth, and the evidence is quite clear that there are no additional benefits of consuming more protein than this.

🎯Optimise your protein intake, and allocate some of those extra calories to carbohydrates instead to efficiently build muscle.

If you don’t have access to the gym, try this quick home workout with resistance bands:

🔹Push ups: 3 sets of AMRAP (As Many Reps As Possible)
🔹Banded squats: 3-4 sets of 15-20 reps
🔹Pull ups: 3 sets of AMRAP
🔹Banded lat pulldown: 3 sets of 15-20 reps
🔹Banded tricep push-down: 2-3 sets of 15-20 reps
🔹Banded cuff lateral raise: 3 sets of 15-20 reps
🔹Banded bicep curl: 2-3 sets of 15-20 reps

💪Feel free to adjust the sets and reps as required

💪You can use multiple bands together to increase the resistance to progressively overload

‼️Here’s why you should ditch cable flyes for seated cable chest presses:

🎯 Lift more weight while keeping your shoulders healthy:
Although both movements train your chest muscles through the same motion(adduction of the humerus), performing flyes creates far greater reaction forces at the shoulder joint as compared to presses(even when the resistance is equated) and can lead to increased wear and tear over time.

🎯 Reduced involvement of peripheral muscles: Flyes force your biceps to work a lot harder due to the moment arm created at the elbows. Bringing your elbows in and performing a press instead will let you align the cable(line of force) such that it passes through your elbows and virtually eliminate the participation of the biceps.

🎯 Greater force production: The bench offers stability and allows your chest muscles to produce force efficiently.

☑️ All these pointers also apply to dumbbell flyes and presses as well

🔳 Whole foods contain a combination of several different compounds that interact with each other, and therefore must be looked at as a whole rather than fixating on just a few individually beneficial compounds they might contain.

◻️Leg press: 2 sets of 10-20 reps
◻️Lat pulldown: 2 sets of 10-20 reps

🔳 Mini circuit 1: 2 sets of 10-20 reps
▫️Rear delt cable row
▫️Standing calf raise

◽ On the leg press, perform 2-3 sets of 8-15 reps. You can safely explore heavier loads with this exercise, as long as it didn't cause your technique to deteriorate.

◽ On the leg extension, perform 2-3 sets in the 10-20 rep range. You can train your quads for a longer duration without running out of endurance with this exercise.

◽And most importantly, remember to train hard and chase progressive overload 💪

◽Throw in a couple of sets of neck flexions and neck extensions at the end of your workouts, at least twice a week and you'll start seeing results pretty quickly

✅ It is recommended to stick to a higher rep range (15 to 40 reps) and lighter weights, especially if you've never trained your neck before

☀️ Contrary to popular belief, sunlight is not a great source of vitamin D. The amount of vitamin D that can be synthesized by the body depends on several factors like skin tone, age, geographical location (distance from the equator) and so on.

⚠️ Vitamin D has direct effects on the expression of more than 1000 genes in your body, and it's deficiency can lead to conditions like rickets, slower wound healing, frequent illness, fatigue, depression and anxiety, among others.

💊 The most efficient way to get your vitamin D is through a supplement, which you can easily find at any pharmacy. Get your sunlight exposure and step outside anyway, just don't end up solely relying on it for your vitamin D requirement.
