Ritual 02The working hours

Power is earned twice.

Once in the gym, once in the hours you actually care about. Same fuel, different room.

Strength is not the point. Being able to spend it is.

Whey isolate at 25g and creatine monohydrate at 5g — the two most studied compounds in sports nutrition, dosed exactly the way the trials dose them. No blends, no proprietary anything, no fairy dust.

Take them on the schedule the work demands, not the one the label suggests. Consistency beats timing, and both beat whatever is trending.

The sequence

The working hours
Step 01
Pre

Creatine, daily

Five grams, every day, timing irrelevant. The only supplement here that works by accumulation rather than by moment.

Step 02
Post

Protein inside the hour

Twenty-five grams of isolate in water, not milk. Fast, clean, and gone before the shower is warm.

Step 03
Evening

Casein before bed

Slow release across the night so recovery keeps working while you are not thinking about it.
