Basic by design
Getting fit isn't complicated. My coaching is simple and basic on purpose — and it gets you 99% of the results.
Chapter one — where it started
My story
The gym was the one place that made sense
I'm Ying, I'm 19, and I've been lifting since I was 17. I didn't start because I wanted to compete — I started because having muscle and being strong just looked genuinely cool to me, like a stat you could actually raise in real life. A few of my friends were in the gym constantly, and that pulled me in too.
Before that, loneliness was a real thing for me. Once I started training, it stopped bothering me. I had somewhere to be, something to get better at, and proof every week that I was becoming someone. I've dealt with a lot of insecurities — I still do — but the gym has quietly handled more of them than anything else ever has.
Outside of lifting I'm a video game and piano guy. Both taught me the same thing training did: you don't get good by switching methods every week, you get good by repeating the boring fundamentals until they're automatic.
I never program hopped. I've rarely missed a workout since day one, and I've stayed consistent with my food the whole way. I wrote every program ran and built every meal plan I've eaten. I made plenty of mistakes early — I bulked way too hard and got much fatter than I wanted — but I fixed them fast instead of starting over.
That's what I coach: the same simple, repeatable approach that took me from where i was before to where i am now.
