fat loss
meal plan 2.0

I've always been around high-performance environments, but getting my own nutrition dialled in was something else. This wasn't just a meal plan; it was an education. I learned how to fuel my body properly, cut the guesswork, and the results came faster than I expected. Dropped stubborn fat while feeling strong and clear-headed. For anyone feeling stuck in a rut, this is your way out. Simple, effective, no fluff.

Following Gabe's powerbuilding program for me has been a huge game changer. I have always loved the idea to be the strongest whilst putting on some size. Gabe's program has allowed me to combine both my powerlifting and bodybuilding skills. The program is really easy to follow whether you're an experienced lifter or not. Everything is right there for you whether that's from your RPE's, rest time, sets it also helped having little tips that he listed for each specific exercise, the exercises used are great and enjoyable and it has been able to transform my body entirely. This program has been able to change my gym routine and structure and helps you stay on track to achieve your desired goals.

Been with Ascend Performance for 8 weeks now and I’m already down 5.5kg while getting stronger in the gym. I’ve stuck to the plan about 90% of the time while still being able to enjoy myself here and there.

This has genuinely been such a breeze of a cut, these 12 weeks went by that fast. With the right meal plan and training, it sometimes felt like I wasn’t even cutting. My energy levels were sky high and this is genuinely the best shape I’ve ever been in.

The recipes actually slap, I don't think I could get tired of eating them, and cravings for anything have pretty much completely disappeared. For a while I was stuck and not making any progress, but now I'm almost at the heaviest I've ever been yet probably the leanest I've ever been, and I keep gaining strength each week.

Now with Gabe I have shred off around 5kg whilst maintaining majority of muscle, haven't had cravings really once and stable energy throughout the day, especially the way he's structured my meal timings to be able to push hard in the gym after a day of work.

Gab structured a strength program around my fight training instead of against it. I now sit comfortably at 73-74kg, have never been stronger, and genuinely feel faster and more explosive in my training. What impressed me most was his ability to adapt everything, the training, calories, timing, around my workload, job, and fight prep.

Gabe isn't your typical cookie cutter coach. He's strict, holds you to a high standard, and doesn't let things slide, which is exactly why results follow.

After just having my second knee reconstruction I wanted to get back and as fit as possible. These fellas set out a plan for me that worked around my injuries and made me understand nutrition, when and why, training, recovery, discipline in and out of the gym and made all of this easy. This is the leanest I have ever been and the strongest I have ever been.

I started coaching with Gabe and Kalani about 12 weeks ago now and it’s been the best decision of my life. Not only has my gym progress been significantly better but my overall quality of life in every aspect has also increased tenfold.

Kalani has been handling my Loom check-ins, and in every check-in he never fails to go into depth over the form videos I send in, how my weight is progressing and overall how my physique is tracking. So far, Kalani and Gabe have helped me become the leanest I have ever been.

With both Gabe and Nick’s guidance, I was put on a controlled body recomp that allowed me to shed weight I genuinely thought was impossible to lose, while building muscle at the same time. After being in the gym for 4 years with minimal progress, stepping into an environment where my results were immediately noticeable has completely changed my perspective.

Never would've imagined that starting with Ascend my testimony would be more about the mental side than ANY of the goals I set when I joined. But I wouldn't change a thing. The gains and change in physique are insane compared to my last few years trying to train by myself.

Been with Gab and Nick coming up on the 26 week mark. Had a few life and health setbacks but progress has felt unreal compared to previous gym training. The routine and accountability has been insane for physical and mental benefits.

You can only get so far without the proper guidance from someone who knows what they’re doing. Having Gabe as my coach gave me exactly that. Joining up has been one of the greatest investments I’ve ever made for myself.

The coaching aspect with training, nutrition and recovery is top tier. Constant feedback with any questions that we have and always putting out information for us to use. I currently feel that I am in the best shape in my life physically but honestly more importantly mentally.

This is the best I’ve ever looked and felt. I also picked up running again. I couldn’t have done it without not only Nick and Gabe but without all you guys. I can’t emphasise enough how easy it is to work with the coaching team.
