Frequently Asked Questions about Tim Ble

How can busy dads ditch the dad bod?

Tim Ble advocates starting with 3-4 full-body strength sessions per week using compound lifts like squats, deadlifts, and presses. Pair this with a calorie-controlled diet emphasizing protein (1g per lb bodyweight), walking 8-10k steps daily, and 7-8 hours sleep. Track progress weekly, adjust calories based on scale weight, and prioritize consistency over perfection. Avoid cardio overload; focus on lifting heavy to boost metabolism. In 12 weeks, expect 10-15lbs fat loss and strength gains. This no-BS approach fits real life without gym marathons or meal prep obsessions.
