The Recovery Blueprint: Sleep Your Way to Strength
No matter how smart your program is, or how perfect your form might be, you only adapt to the training you can recover from. And that recovery doesn’t happen during your workout.

Prehab > Rehab: Here’s Why
At M2, we believe that strength training should build you up, not break you down. And while we can’t eliminate the possibility of injury entirely (you’re human, not made of steel), we can do a whole lot to reduce the risk and set your body up for long-term resilience.
That’s the difference between prehab and rehab and why we take a proactive, structured approach to injury resistance in every training phase at M2.

Why Warming Up Matters: The M2 Approach
Whether you’re chasing strength, power, endurance, or longevity, how you prepare your body before training has a direct impact on the quality of your session.

Fueling M2 Strength: How to Use Protein, Caffeine, and Creatine to Maximize Results
Walk into any supplement store or scroll through fitness Instagram, and you’ll be hit with a wave of flashy products promising instant muscle, explosive energy, or fat loss miracles.
The truth?
Most of it is overhyped and under-delivers. A lot of supplements are poorly researched, under-dosed, or just unnecessary. Unless you know what to look for, it’s easy to waste your money on things that won’t move the needle.
