Beach season is upon us. Temperatures are rising. It was in the 90s in Florida all weekend. Next week temperatures in NYC and the Jersey Shore will hit the 80s (and sunny) which means one of two things for many: it is time to put the finishing touches on sculpting a Summer body or it is time to get started.
The reality of a ‘Beach Body’ is unless you live in Southern California or Florida then chances are it’s something you associate primarily with Spring Break and Summer. It is hard to think about 8-pack abs in the dead of winter when that extra 2-3% of body fat might be keeping your warmer than your jacket.

But Beach SZN is coming whether we’re ready or not and the quickest, simplest, most effective way to reach your fitness and sculpting goals is through the MacroFactor Workouts app, most likely used in conjunction with the MacroFactor calorie tracking app.
Sculpting Your Summer Body With MacroFactor Workouts App

Why the MacroFactor Workouts app? Because it delivers completely personalized workout programming to you, based on your goals, time, experience, and available equipment.
Here at BroBible, I have written about my journey with MacroFactor fairly extensively, how I lost nearly 50 pounds last year in a body recomposition journey of losing fat and gaining muscle, and how the new MacroFactor Workouts app has helped me nail a consistent workout routine this year. That photo above is me before and after using MacroFactor.
And progress does not happen overnight nor does it stick like glue. After getting in the best shape of my life and completing two triathlons so far this year, I was slowly gaining weight from over-fueling with carbs during training. I was up to about 162lbs from a low of around 152lbs late last year. And I’ve recently hopped back into a weight loss cycle in the MacroFactor App and have lost nearly 3 pounds in the past two weeks and I can already see results.

Someone once told me the quickest way to look jacked is to lose weight and while there is a lot of wisdom in that, you do need to build muscle first. A strong muscular base not only has you looking more toned, muscle also burns significantly more calories than fat, 1lb of muscle burns 6-10 kclas at rest versus 1lb of fat burning 2-3, which means you can also eat more and remain level once you pack more muscle onto your frame because the muscle is burning more calories… But I digress!
MF Workouts: Customizable To Achieve Your Goals

If you are reading this then chances are you want to lose some weight and build some muscle. That is a process called ‘body recomposition’ and it is entirely achievable using the MacroFactor Workouts app for customized resistance training routines at the gym and the MacroFactor calorie-logging app to help you lose weight, but let’s talk about resistance training.
The MacroFactor Workouts app removes all guesswork. Prior to the MacroFactor Workouts app I was doing an upper/lower body split, each 2x a week for a total of 4 lifting sessions on top of cardio + calorie logging.
I could, of course, stick with that but with the MacroFactor Workouts app I’ve taken a full-body approach and have seen tremendous results. Within the MacroFactor Workouts App, it presents you the option to create your own custom workout routine or allow the MF Workouts app to create the routine for you.
When I first downloaded the app I did both… I set up my upper/lower body split workouts I’d been doing to fall back on whenever I wanted but also creating new routines using the MacroFactor Workouts AI.

The app asks you available gym equipment, how often you want to lift/sessions per weeks, any muscle groups to place additional emphasis on, desired duration of lifting sessions, and from there it goes to work. Using intelligent progressive overload, the MacroFactor Workouts app had me reaching gains in week 1 and pushing more weight than I ever would have attempted on my own. It was as if I had a coach in the palm of my hand.
What does this mean for your Summer body? Everything.

Consistency is key, we know this. But with the MacroFactor Workouts app you will be handed the blueprint to the body you want to achieve. You simply show up, put in the work, and the results will follow.
With each workout, you log your reps, sets, weight, and there is a timer and as you complete each workout the app updates its recommendations for your next session on weigth and reps, pushing you further than you typically would on your own.
And for untrained lifters, novice lifters, and those who might not be wholly confident in hundreds of different exercises, there are accompanying videos with each exercise within the app. MacroFactor co-founder Jeff Nippard has video tutorials to go with each so you can watch him and emulate the perfect form to maximize muscle growth/hypertrophy and minimize any chance of injury.
Ready to get started? You can download the MacroFactor Workouts app by following any of the links throughout this article. Using the promo code ‘BROBIBLE‘ you will receive a 2-week free trial. That is ample time to know whether or not this will be for you. I use it, I swear by it, and I would not recommend this to you all if it wasn’t something I believed in.
