To get yoked, which means building a strong and muscular physique, it's essential to combine a well-structured workout routine with a healthy diet and consistent progressive overload. Here's a simple yet effective approach:

Diet:
To support muscle growth, ensure you're consuming a calorie-surplus diet rich in protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. Aim to eat:
- 1.6-2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight
- 2-3 grams of complex carbohydrates per kilogram of body weight
- 0.5-1 gram of healthy fats per kilogram of body weight
Progressive Overload:
Gradually increase the weight or reps over time to challenge your muscles and stimulate growth.
