CRITICAL INSIGHT

Why Generic Plans Fail

During race week, your standard 60-minute gym slot is the first thing to die. Traffic, late nights, and hospitality suites destroy routine.

If your plan requires a gym commute, you've already failed. You need a protocol built for chaos, using metabolic precision rather than hours on a treadmill.

The Sodium Trap

Late nights + alcohol + sodium = temporary water gain. You might see the scale jump 3kg.
It's fluid, not fat. Do not panic starve yourself the next day.

The Cortisol Spike

Executive stress drives "snack-and-sip" cycles. High cortisol signals your body to store belly fat.
We fix this chemically, not with willpower.

Proprietary Method

The Cortisol
Flip™ Window

Willpower runs out. Chemistry doesn't. We use a specific 20-minute window (either morning or pre-dinner) to flip your stress hormones and keep appetite stable throughout the night.

20-Min Tri-Set

Hotel-room friendly. No equipment needed. Designed to deplete muscle glycogen just enough to keep you insulin-sensitive through hospitality.

The Two-Plate Rule

Plate 1: Protein + Veg (The boring stuff first). Plate 2: The carbs you actually want (½ portion). Satisfy the craving without the binge.

Sleep Rescue Protocol

3-step reset: Warm shower (vasodilation) → 10-min box breathing → blackout room. Essential for recovery after high-adrenaline race events.

REAL RESULT

"Hotel-room 20s saved me. I didn't step foot in a gym but fit into my tux perfectly on Sunday."

Your Battle Plan

The 8-Day Protocol

Fri / Sat (Travel & Practice)

The Focus: Hydration & Arrival.
Perform the 20-min Tri-Set immediately upon hotel arrival. Walking the circuit? Take electrolytes AM + PM to prevent false hunger signals.

Sun (Quali / Race Day)

The Focus: Damage Control.
Tri-Set in the AM. Cap alcohol at 2 drinks max during the day. Save your carbs for dinner only. If you're on a yacht, stick to clear spirits + soda.

Mon / Tue (Meetings & Dubai Run)

The Focus: Reset.
15-min EMOM: Squats/Pushups/Plank. If you're driving back to Dubai, protein at lunch is non-negotiable to prevent snacking at the petrol station.

Wed / Thu (Events)

The Focus: Maintenance.
Tri-Set pre-dinner. Swap dessert for espresso. Aim for 8-12k steps during calls.

Push Day

25 MINS
  • DB Incline Press
    3 sets x 12 reps (Controlled tempo)
  • Cable Row
    3 sets x 15 reps (Squeeze at back)
  • Band Face-Pull
    3 sets x 20 reps (Postural health)

Lower Body

25 MINS
  • Goblet Squats
    3 sets x 15 reps (Heels elevated)
  • DB RDLs
    3 sets x 12 reps (Hamstring focus)
  • Side Planks
    3 sets x 45 sec per side

Menu Survival Guide

Yas Marina (Steak/Grill)

The safest bet. Order grill mains (Filet/Ribeye) + extra green veg.
The Swap: Fries → Roast Potatoes (Less oil).
The Drink: Mocktails → Soda Water with Fresh Lime.

DIFC (Asian/Italian)

Sodium danger zone.
The Swap: Sushi (Sugar rice) → Sashimi + 1 roll.
The Swap: Creamy Pasta → Tomato base or Steak + greens.
Dessert: Skip the cake, order fresh berries.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need access to a gym for this plan?

No. The "Cortisol Flip" protocol is designed specifically for hotel rooms. We use bodyweight leverage and metabolic intensity. If you have a hotel gym, we provide a "Gym Version" track, but it is not required for results.

2. I have client dinners every night. Will this still work?

Yes. We don't ask you to skip dinners. We teach you the "Two-Plate Rule" and how to buffer alcohol so you can network without blowing up. The protocol is built *around* your social life, not against it.

3. Can I drink alcohol?

Yes, but strategically. We recommend clear spirits (vodka/gin/tequila) with soda water. Avoid sugary cocktails and beer/wine if possible. The key is the "1:1 Rule" — one glass of water with electrolytes for every alcoholic drink.

4. What equipment does PTD bring?

If you book an in-person session, our coaches arrive with resistance bands, TRX, kettlebells, and recovery tools. We turn your hotel room or balcony into a fully functional gym.

5. Is this just for F1 week?

This specific protocol is tailored for the high-stress, low-sleep nature of F1 week. However, many clients transition into our standard monthly coaching programs after seeing how effective the methodology is.

6. What if I'm staying on a yacht?

The 20-minute Tri-Set is perfect for yacht decks or cabins. Space is not an issue. We also provide specific guidance for yacht catering menus, which are often carb-heavy.

7. How flexible are the booking times?

Extremely. We operate from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM. We understand schedules shift during race week, so we maintain a dedicated WhatsApp line for quick rescheduling.

8. What is the "Cortisol Flip"?

It is a timing strategy. High stress (cortisol) causes fat storage. By performing short, intense activity at specific times (like pre-dinner), we lower cortisol and raise endorphins, putting your body back into a fat-burning state.

9. Do you cover Abu Dhabi and Dubai?

Yes. We have teams in both cities. Whether you are at the track in Yas Marina or having meetings in DIFC, we come to you.
