Training

Danilo Franca changes his training often, which means he doesn’t have a set workout routine in place. That said, there are a few rules Danilo sticks to all the time. These include:

• Making every rep count – Danilo does every repetition in a slow and controlled manner. Push, pull, stretch, whatever the movement, he’ll make sure to do it in the strictest form possible. This ensures optimal growth and muscle definition.
• Pushing past his limits – With every set and rep, Danilo forces himself to do one or two more, pushing past the pain to grow stronger.
• Staying disciplined – Danilo will train even when he doesn’t feel motivated. By doing whatever it takes, he’s able to stay ahead of the game.
• All muscle groups get equal attention – By focusing on all muscles equally, Danilo ensures that his physique stays symmetrical and aesthetic. From the upper traps through lats and all the way down to his calves, every body part falls into place as the awesome physique Danilo has put in the work to create.

Nutrition

Training hard is only one part of the battle for Danilo. His nutrition is just as important when it comes to achieving an aesthetic and ‘shredded’ look.

Because of this, he eats lean foods with a high amount of protein while avoiding unhealthy fats. Since 1 gram of fat contains 9 calories, Danilo is able to greatly reduce his overall calories by keeping his fat intake limited.

In terms of carbs, Danilo uses them as a quick energy source. Once ingested, carbs turn into muscle glycogen which Danilo’s body uses efficiently during his hard training sessions.
