Why You're Not Seeing Results (And What to Do About It)

Why You're Not Seeing Results (And How to Fix It)

 

 

Most guys think they’re giving it everything they’ve got.

But the truth is—your results don’t lie.

In this week’s Iron Forge coaching session, we unpack the hard truth about effort, priorities, and consistency… and why most men are leaving progress on the table.

If you're tired of spinning your wheels, this is your wake-up call.

100% Is Relative

Most men believe that giving 100% means perfection.

You’ve probably had days where life hits hard—stress, poor sleep, no motivation—and you felt like you had nothing left to give. So, you skipped the workout. Ate like crap. Told yourself you'd try again Monday.

Here’s what you need to understand: 100% is different every day.

• Some days, 100% means crushing a workout and hitting every macro.
• Other days, it’s showing up tired and doing what you can with what you’ve got.

The guy who gives 70% consistently beats the guy who only shows up at 100% when it’s easy.

Takeaway:

Ask yourself daily, “What’s my 100% today?”
Then give that. No more. No less.

Effort Matches Outcomes

You want big results—more muscle, better health, higher confidence.
But your actions don’t match your words.

• You say you want to eat clean, but don’t track food or hit protein goals.
• You say you train hard, but skip sessions or half-ass your sets.

Your outcomes will always reflect your input.

Takeaway:

Audit yourself. Are you training with intensity?
Eating with purpose? Recovering properly?

Write it down. Get honest. Then adjust your behavior accordingly.

Priorities Drive Progress

You don’t get results based on what you hope for.
You get results based on what you prioritize.

Most guys say they don’t have time…
But their screen time, Netflix habits, and distractions tell a different story.

If training and nutrition aren’t scheduled like non-negotiables, they’ll be the first to get cut.

Takeaway:

Track your time for one week.
Eliminate what doesn’t serve your goals.
Make training and food planning part of your daily structure.

Final Thoughts

If you’re not getting the results you want, you’re likely dealing with one (or all) of these:

• You think 100% means perfection, not progress
• You want elite outcomes without elite effort
• You say fitness is a priority, but your actions say otherwise

Own it. Track it. Fix it.
