Core Philosophy

Aidan operates from a foundational belief that real transformation requires systems over quick fixes.

Key Principles

1. The best workout split isn't the most scientifically optimal on paper, but the one you can actually stick to week after week around your chaotic real-world life. 2. Stop flip-flopping between cutting and bulking without a plan. Follow a structured four-phase system: shred, sustain, build, and reveal in that exact order. 3.

Key Takeaways

A structured four-phase system (shred, sustain, build, reveal) breaks the cycle and creates lasting transformation over 9-12 months. 3. The "front-back" split alternates full-body push and pull sessions, delivering better results than traditional splits for bu…
