Jessica Biel’s trainer, Jason Walsh, likes to keep his client mentally stimulated. “I’m a big advocate of recreational sports and stuff. If someone can get out there, even if it’s a hike or something like that, just to break up the monotony of going to the gym…I really like that.”

5. Don’t complicate food
A lot of gym bros get caught up in macro counting. And while it’s a sure-fire way to bigger gains, forever fixating on the numbers can be exhausting.

Keep it simple.

Speaking to Men’s Journal, McGregor says: “I just try to eat clean. I’ll eat good quality meats, good-quality greens, good-quality carbohydrates like sweet potatoes and butternut squash, and that’s it.”

If you want to build muscle, then your diet needs to be on point. It is, after all, more than half the battle. But don’t use it as an excuse. Try to ensure you’re getting roughly 30% of your calories from fats, 40% from carbs and 30% from protein; a US study found eating double your RDA of protein – up to around 110g – boosts muscle growth and fat loss.
