The Progenex Gluttony Armor Guide

Feast Like a Beast on Christmas Day – Wake Up Leaner, Stronger, and Ready to Own 2026

You did the work.

12 savage days. Snow on your back during burpees. Thrusters that burned. A Victory Lap that forged you in fire.

Christmas Day is your reward. The spread is calling: turkey, gravy, pies, cookies, eggnog—everything.

Go all in. Devour it. No guilt. No half-measures.

Because you’re armored. Science-backed. Progenex-powered. This protocol turns holiday indulgence into pure muscle fuel.

Most wake up December 26 bloated, sluggish, and full of regret. You? Veins sharper. Abs tighter. Glycogen exploding. Already miles ahead while the world hits “snooze” on their resolutions.

This is your edge. Let’s armor up.

The Science: Turn Calories Into Gains, Not Fat

One epic feast doesn’t wreck your physique. Fat gain needs weeks of surplus + bad partitioning.

Your 12 Days of Gains just engineered the perfect storm:

Massive glycogen depletion from high-volume training → creates a “carb sink” in muscle
Skyrocketed insulin sensitivity in muscle tissue (from consistent hard sessions)
Elevated 24-hour muscle protein synthesis (MPS) from hydrolyzed whey timing

Result? Extra calories flood muscle repair and storage—not fat cells.

Key studies that prove it:

Glycogen Supercompensation: After depletion, trained athletes can pack 500–700g extra carbs into muscle with virtually zero de novo lipogenesis (new fat creation). (Acheson et al., 1988; classic carb-loading research)
High-Protein Surplus Magic: Doses up to 4.4g/kg bodyweight in surplus preserve lean mass and direct energy to muscle—zero fat gain in short-term overfeeds. (Antonio et al., multiple high-protein studies)
Refeed Partitioning: Strategic high-carb/protein days in lean athletes boost leptin (hunger hormone), thyroid output, and performance without measurable body fat increase. (Dirlewanger et al., 2000; Helms et al., refeed reviews)
Leucine Spikes All Day: Repeated 30–40g whey doses keep MPS elevated 24–48 hours, turning surplus into recovery rocket fuel. (Churchward-Venne et al., 2012)

Bottom line: You’re not breaking rules. You’re rewriting them.

Your Step-by-Step Gluttony Armor Protocol

Christmas Eve Night – Prime the Sink Fresh off your Day 12 triple-scoop Recovery:

High-protein dinner (keep fats moderate, <50g)
Carbs moderate (100–150g from rice/potatoes) to partially refill without spillover
Bedtime slow-drip: Mix 1–2 scoops Recovery Peppermint Bark with 1 cup Greek yogurt or cottage cheese → 40–60g protein released overnight for nonstop MPS

Christmas Morning – Ignite Sensitivity

Wake up: 45–60 min fasted Zone 2 cardio (brisk walk, light ruck, or row – burn 400–600 kcal) → Clears residual glycogen, ramps fat oxidation, supercharges muscle insulin sensitivity
Pre-feast fuel: 2 scoops Recovery Peppermint Bark + 5g creatine + black coffee → ATP stores loaded, MPS primed

During the Feast – Attack Mode Unleash. Eat what you want. Seconds. Thirds. But armor up every 3–4 hours:

Slam 30g More Muscle Peppermint Bark + 50–100g fast carbs (mashed potatoes, rolls, pie crust—yes, even dessert carbs) → Repeated leucine floods keep MPS raging → Carbs shuttle straight to depleted muscle glycogen → Protein guards against any catabolism

Pro tip: Keep your shaker nearby. Mix and chug between courses. Taste like dessert. Work like dominance.

Post-Feast & Before Bed – Seal the Gains

Evening wind-down: Another double-scoop More Muscle slow-drip (with milk or cottage cheese) → Extends anabolic window through sleep
Hydrate hard (extra water weight is glycogen-bound—temporary and powerful)

Boxing Day Morning – Victory Check Mirror time. Flex. Hit a light full-body pump (bodyweight or light weights) + double Recovery. You’ll feel full, powerful, recovered—not destroyed. Abs visible. Veins popping. Ready to attack the new year.

Progenex Arsenal: The Weapons That Make Armor Possible

Recovery Peppermint Bark: Hydrolyzed whey isolate—fastest absorption on earth. Hits bloodstream in minutes. Limited edition taste that makes “medicine” feel like reward.
More Muscle Hot Chocolate: Perfect intra-feast carb + protein blend for glycogen reload without bloat.

This protocol isn’t hope. It’s engineered superiority.

You fought 12 days for this moment. Now own it.

Feast hard. Recover harder. Wake up unstoppable.
