Rebuilding Everything

Set the floor so you can’t fail. Then never miss.

01

Who I am

Connor Abel

I’m Connor. Marine, husband, dad of four, Tulsa.

I spent a few years building a business while my health, my house and my calendar quietly fell apart, and I got tired of restarting every January.

So I’m rebuilding all of it on camera, one front at a time, at a pace that survives a bad week.

02

The proof

The standard I hold myself to

This is what a normal week looks like. Every week I post whether I hit it.

  • 4Filmed workoutsIn the garage, early or late, whenever the house is quiet.
  • 1Project finishedStart to finish, on camera, not just talked about.
  • 1Long postWhat I learned that week, including the parts that went badly.
  • 3–4ShortsClips from the work itself, not clips about the work.
03

The floor

Why I won’t fail

Because that standard is a good week, and I don’t build my life around good weeks. Sick kids, a burst pipe, a stretch at work that eats the whole calendar. Those weeks are already on the way. So there’s a floor underneath the standard, and the floor is the actual commitment.

  • 2Filmed workoutsAny length, any kind, in whatever I’m already wearing.
  • 1PostEven if it’s the short one saying the week fell apart.

That’s the entire worst-case week. It’s small enough that no week I’ve ever had would have stopped it, which is the only reason I can promise it. I’m not betting on motivation, a good season, or things calming down. They won’t.

Miss the standard and the streak lives. Miss the floor and it doesn’t. So I don’t miss the floor.

The fuel

The Rebuild Fuel Calculator

You said body first. Good call. Here is your fuel math, ready to run today.

Every day you answer three questions. How many calories, how much protein, how much work. This does the math for you. Set the floor so you’ll never miss again.

Your numbers

Question 1. Calories

Your weight times your goal. Pick a bracket. The numbers on the right update to you.

Fine tune inside your bracketx14

Fast metabolism, or not moving about 3 lb a month? Slide to the top of your bracket. Still stuck after a few weeks? Jump to the next bracket.

Your daily targets

2,800
calories, bracket 2,600 to 3,000
200g
protein, 1g per lb you weigh
Protein 1,000 cal Everything else 1,800 cal

Reference tool, not lab science. Judge it by your monthly results.

Question 2. Protein

  • 2 lbLean meat to hit your goal1 lb of chicken is about 100g of protein. That is 32 oz on the scale.
  • 1,000Calories that protein costsAt roughly 5 calories per gram of lean meat.
  • 1,800Left for everything elseMeal prep this until it becomes second nature.

Shortcut: 1 lb of lean meat plus a protein shake covers most people. Missing this number is the fastest way to stall your growth.

Question 3. Training

Weights over cardio when the goal is growth. Tap a day.

The focus

Legs

Give every body part at least 48 hours of rest before you hit it again.

Abs every day. Rotate upper, side, lower.

VolumeHow much weight you put on the bar.
QuantityHow many reps. Aim for 10 on everything.
IntensityThe focus and effort you bring to every set.

Cardio is allowed, but it eats into growth. If you keep it, bump your calorie bracket up to cover the burn.

Inspired by Alex Hormozi’s calorie and protein formula. Honest disclaimer: this is a rule-of-thumb reference tool, not peer-reviewed science and not medical advice. Every body and metabolism is different. Adjust your bracket by your monthly results, and talk to your doctor before making big changes to how you eat or train.
