Your metabolism isn’t broken. You’re just playing the wrong game. Post-chest day pump into a full Forbici feast: their largest pepperoni pizza, cacio e pepe, Caesar salad, double protein chicken bowl, and wine. This is what metabolic flexibility actually looks like. When you carry significant muscle mass at 12% body fat, your body becomes a completely different machine. You’re not just “lean”, you’re metabolically advantaged. Think of it like this: Fat cells are storage units. Muscle cells are furnaces. The more furnaces you have running 24/7, the more fuel you can throw at them without consequence. At 12% body fat with real muscle tissue, your insulin sensitivity is optimized. Nutrients partition preferentially into muscle, not fat. Your body actually PREFERS to burn fat for fuel at rest and shuttle carbs into muscle for growth and performance. This is why I can destroy an entire Italian feast on date night without anxiety or tomorrow’s cardio “punishment.” The muscle mass creates metabolic flexibility, the ability to efficiently use whatever fuel source you give it. Most people obsess over aggressive deficits and endless cardio, treating fat loss like an emergency. Yes, these tools work. Yes, you can preserve muscle if you’re smart about it. But you’re still playing defense, constantly fighting to maintain what little muscle you have while grinding through restriction. The game isn’t just getting lean. It’s building the engine that makes being lean effortless. When you prioritize muscle acquisition FIRST, you create a physique that burns more calories at rest, handles carbs better, and allows you to eat like someone who enjoys date night. Stop majoring in the minors. Build the metabolic advantage first, then reveal what you’ve built. Your grandmother was right - you need to eat. When you have the muscle mass to support it, food becomes fuel, not the enemy.

Want to jump higher? Unpopular truth: fat don’t fly. Before you start crying about body shaming or act like this is skinnytok, let's get into our DeLoreans and revisit physics class!! Newton's 2nd Law a=F/m Same force with more mass = less acceleration which in this case = less height. Want to increase acceleration (and its byproduct jump height)? Either going to have to increase the numerator (force) or decrease the denominator (mass). That's not an opinion, it's math and science. And that math/science is on display here as you have two medballs acted upon by the same force traveling different distances due to differing mass. Now let's walk across the hall to anatomy and physiology class...yes, you need body fat. It's critical to be healthy and function. This isn't advocating for just losing weight or being "thin" or whatever. It's for optimizing body composition to where you perform at your best. With that, you need muscle mass to produce FORCE. And many younger volleyball players will benefit tremendously from an increase in muscle mass. This increase in muscle mass stands to increase force production, improve body composition, and create a net positive effect on performance (within reason we all know we're not training linebackers). But an increase in unnecessary fat mass typically has the opposite effect. Hence the statement: fat don't fly. Every athlete has an optimal body composition. Find yours through consistent strength training, adequate fueling, proper hydration and sleep and...planned recovery days.
