Before joining GFIT, Emina was committed to building muscle but saw little progress. Her gym routine lacked structure, often neglecting key principles like progressive overload. She struggled to meet her protein targets and frequently skipped meals.



Coach Jelena began with the Primer Phase, emphasizing three nutrient-dense meals daily, each with at least 40 grams of protein. They tailored her intake to 1.2 grams of protein per pound of body weight and moved to a Lean Building phase with a small caloric surplus for nearly a year.



Emina's training was overhauled to prioritize progressive overload, track lifts, and include video form reviews. Jelena added two 30-minute cardio sessions weekly and set a daily step goal of 8-10k. She also recommended creatine monohydrate for muscle growth.



Within a month, Emina adapted to the routine, making small caloric adjustments to promote steady muscle gains without excessive fat. Over the year, she achieved impressive results—building muscle, increasing strength, and attaining a lean, defined physique.
