COACH'S NOTES – WEEK 2 CALL (July 27, 2025)
(These notes are private self-notes from the coach during or immediately following the check-In call, for full transparency of Project Legacy, we are releasing them here every week)
- Words of the week: “Happy I showed up, not happy with results yet”
- No major slips – stress present, but mindset anchored in progress
- Identity shift in progress: values showing up > performance
- Proud of system stabilization (Project Legacy launch pressure easing)
- Training win: Showing up despite lack of PR relevance
- Body perception: No felt changes yet, scale hovering ~200; real validation tied to sustained weight drop
- Hardest part: Getting back into the grind; mental inertia > physical limitation
- No breakdowns = solid Phase 1 stabilization
- Still operating from effort > reward mindset; critical for long-term adherence
PROJECT LEGACY – WEEK 2 COACHING RECAP
Chapter Title: Momentum Forged
Date: July 27, 2025
Week 2 wasn’t flashy, it was foundational.
Joshua continued showing up with consistency and clarity, even as visible results lagged behind the effort. That’s where real transformation begins… not in the mirror, but in the refusal to disappear when progress is quiet.
🧠 Mindset: Steady and rooted. Joshua held his rhythm. He leaned in and used the act of showing up as a compass rather than chasing a feeling.
🥗 Nutrition: 4 days logged, deficit maintained. Protein intake stayed lower than we want. The win wasn’t the macros, it was the intention behind the meal decisions.
💪 Training: Strength sessions resumed. Cardio returned to baseline. He admitted the grind felt unfamiliar but he moved anyway. That’s the seed of future power.
📸 Visual: clothing, lighting, and setup were locked in and repeated. Consistency in how the story is told will make the chapters mean more later.
📈 Sleep & Recovery: Averaged 7+ hours despite one disrupted night. Emotional load was low. No flare-ups. No breakdowns. Just quiet, earned balance.
🧱 Stability Secured: Week 2 marked a system recalibration. Less chaos. More structure. Less friction. More flow. Templates were locked. Pressure was managed. The Arena was cleared for growth.
🔁 Momentum Loop Reinforced:
He didn’t feel smaller.
He didn’t feel faster.
But he felt there. And that’s the muscle we train first in The Level Up! Arena, the willingness to stay.
Week 3 is about capacity of attention, of emotion, of movement.
Stability is built. Now we expand.
Legacy is in motion.

Clothing: White full-rise briefs and white retro athletic socks with blue stripes
Location: Home, black background for constrast
Poses: Front, Left Profile, Right Profile, Rear
Overall First Impressions
Compared to Week 1, Joshua shows greater postural control and photographic consistency, which is essential for tracking subtle changes. The posture refinements are encouraging even if fat loss doesn’t appear at this stage.
Front View
Posture Improvements:
- Head tilt and neck line are slightly more aligned than Week 1.
- Shoulders are more squared; a sign of improved engagement.
Torso & Core:
- Lower belly looks slightly less distended.
- Chest position is more elevated.
Legs:
- Calf definition is marginally improved.
- Adductor line and inner thighs appear more aligned.
Left Profile View
Neck & Spine:
- Head is in a better forward-neutral position.
- Slight reduction in upper back rounding.
Torso:
- Slight vertical alignment improvement.
- Still a modest forward belly curve.
Arms:
- Triceps and deltoid tie-in show better line.
Right Profile View
Torso & Waistline:
- Slightly better ab control than Week 1.
- Waist still thick but shape is gently tightening.
Legs:
- Hamstring line looks slightly more engaged.
- Strong ankle and foot alignment.
Rear View
Shoulders & Back:
- Shoulder symmetry and posture have improved.
Glutes:
- Still holding mass and softness.
Legs:
- Hamstrings have a clearer shape.
- Calves are more defined.
Coach’s Callouts
– Progress is visible, but not dramatic yet, to be expected in Phase 1 (Weeks 1–4).
– Visuals validate effort. Muscular re-engagement and posture improvements are real.
– Consistency in setup continues to be a strength of this visual log.
Nutrition Breakdown
Coach’s Breakdown – Nutrition Metrics
Here are Joshua’s Week 2 nutrition averages, based on 4 tracked days:
Calories In: 2204
Calories Expended: 2717
Calorie Deficit: 513 kcal/day
Fiber: 48.4 grams
Saturated Fat: 6.5 grams
Target Goals:
Calorie Deficit Goal: 750–1000 kcal/day
Macro Goal: 20% Protein / 55% Carbs / 25% Fat
Fiber Minimum: 60g
Saturated Fat Maximum: 10g
Coach Notes:
Joshua maintained a consistent caloric deficit this week, averaging 513 kcal/day, which sits slightly below the target range for accelerated fat loss (750–1000 kcal/day). While still in a deficit, this pace will result in slower fat loss unless corrected. That said, staying consistent across four tracked days during a high-output training week shows strong adherence under pressure.
Protein intake dipped to 92 grams/day, falling short of the minimum threshold for muscle preservation during a cut. This is the area of most concern and will be prioritized next week. Our goal remains 120g/day minimum, with the long-term target still set at 140–150g/day for optimal retention of lean mass.
Joshua nailed his carbohydrate intake at 55%, hitting the exact macro goal, which supports recovery and endurance. Fat intake slightly exceeded the 25% target, reaching 29%, which is still within acceptable range, especially given that saturated fat was kept low at 6.5g/day, well under the 10g max.
Fiber intake fell to 48.4g/day, below our 60g benchmark. While this isn’t a red flag, we’ll aim to boost it again in Week 3.

How would you describe how this past week went?
It felt like another building week. Not where I want to be but getting there.
What are 1–3 wins from this past week?
I made some big decisions on nutrition for week 3, built an honest and vulnerable Project Legacy blog, pushed into new efforts on social media to advertise the business.
Name one thing you’re proud of this week, even if it felt small:
Showing up.
What felt hard, frustrating, or off-track this week?
My cardio is not where I want it. It’s frustrating knowing what I’ve been capable in the past and what I’m capable currently.
Where did you feel resistance?
Physically, Mentally
Is there anything you avoided this week that you’d like to confront?
No.
What’s one thing you want to improve, reinforce, or stay consistent with next week?
Improve the length and quality of my workouts.
If you could win next week by nailing just one thing—what would it be?
4 strength workouts and average 130g of protein or more.
Coach’s Final Reflection – Week 2
Week 2 wasn’t just a continuation, it was confirmation. The plan works when it’s followed. The systems hold when tested. And Joshua? He showed up with precision.
This week marked the first fully stabilized training cycle: 3 strength sessions, 2 cardio hits, and all check-in protocols complete. It wasn’t luck. It was structure over chaos. Joshua aligned his environment, honored the schedule, and earned the XP to prove it.
But the data tells a deeper story:
▫️ Nutrition held steady, but dipped below target in protein and fiber.
▫️ Cardio was completed, but long-distance was left on the table.
▫️ Recovery remains an open loop, we’ll close it in Week 3.
The biggest win? Discipline became rhythm. No longer a forced grind, Joshua began to move through the week with a cadence that didn’t rely on motivation. That’s Legacy in action.
Two of the Mini-Quests offered were completed with intention, including a 33-second dead hang, an early nod to OCR-specific strength. Slower tempo was applied on barbell chest press to increase control, but mobility was skipped, giving us a clear assignment for Week 3.
Week 3 Preview:
Add a dedicated mindfulness practice. Starting with meditation, he must aim for 5 minutes a day minimum for 5 out of 7 days to receive full XP for this activity.
Target 120–130g protein minimum, missing this minimum will result in 0 XP awarded for nutrition even if he does full tracking. This is not a punishment, but a corrective action.
Based on where Joshua excelled in week 2 and where he fell short, we’ve offered him the following bonus Mini-Quests for the week.
🔹[4 XP] Active Recovery Mission
Complete one intentional recovery session (e.g., foam rolling, stretch, breathwork, and a light walk).
Goal: Reboot your recovery protocols and respect the rebuild.
🔹[3 XP] Obstacle-Specific Mobility (Retry)
Choose a targeted mobility drill (hips, ankles, or shoulders) and perform it 3x this week.
Goal: Close the loop from Week 2 and begin building movement quality for OCR.
🔹[3 XP] Long Cardio Revival
One cardio session lasting at least 60 minutes in one go. Walk, run, hike, or bike.
Goal: Begin conditioning the mind and body for endurance again. We scale up from here.
Joshua Marron has all the tools necessary now to absolutely crush week 3, will he nail his goals or fall short? Stay tuned for Week 3’s review to find out!
