I don't give generic PDFs. Whether it's rehab after an MCL tear or getting you ready for a competition, I look at your bloodwork, your lifestyle, and your movement patterns to build a protocol that is specific to your biology and goals. No fluff, just hard data. ### The Project Battlefit Method I built this program for those who are done with 'influencer' advice and want a body that is actually capable. My approach is built on biomechanics and performance, not just gym aesthetics. When you join, we don't start with a generic plan. We start with a deep-dive diagnostic session to look at your history, injury status, and current physiological markers. ### My Core Focus Areas * **Strength & Conditioning for Combat Sports:** I don't just teach you how to lift; I teach you how to be explosive and resilient. I apply progressive overload to ensure your strength gains are real, not just sweat-based fatigue. * **Evidence-Based Nutrition:** I cut through the 'protein bar as a meal' nonsense. My nutrition protocols are food-first, focusing on bio-availability and macros that suit your actual activity level and health requirements, from PCOD to diabetes reversal. * **Injury Rehab:** Having survived 26 fractures, I know that 'rest' is only part of the solution. I use smart, controlled protocols to manage chronic injuries, focusing on range of motion and safe, progressive loading so you can get back to training. * **Athlete Mentoring:** For those in the game, I provide the strategic roadmap. This includes macro-cycle planning, weight-cut management, and mental game support. I treat your career like a professional project, not a hobby. This is not a space for dabblers. If you are serious about your fitness, whether you are a pro fighter or a working professional, you need a system that is measured, analyzed, and adapted to your reality. Stop guessing. Start training. ## About Pushkaraj Shirke I'm Pushkaraj, and I call out the fitness industry's 'delulu' culture because I've seen the damage it does. I've coached pro fighters and everyday people using the same science-backed approach I used to bounce back from 26 fractures and an MCL tear.
