The Discipline Trap: Why Trying Harder Is Making You Fatter | Iron Suits

Why willpower is the wrong tool for executive fitness. Many entrepreneurs and CEOs fail to stay consistent because they rely on motivation rather than systems.

In this episode, Marwan Killu explains how decision fatigue destroys workout consistency, why your health needs infrastructure instead of "projects," and how to automate your nutrition so it runs as reliably as your payroll.

You don't have a discipline problem. You have a systems problem.

You execute flawlessly in business but treat fitness reactively. You go hard for 3–4 weeks, then travel hits, stress builds, and you fall off. Why? Because you're running your health on feelings.

Payroll vs. P&L

Payroll runs on the 1st and 15th whether you feel like it or not. You don't negotiate with your business systems—so why are you negotiating with your body? This episode dismantles the "Go Hard" mentality and introduces Fitness Infrastructure.

What You'll Discover:

• Decision Fatigue: How making hundreds of health decisions daily drains the mental energy you need for your business.
• Infrastructure vs. Projects: Why "projects" require intensity, but "infrastructure" creates permanent transformation.
• The Complexity Trap: Why high-performers gravitate toward chaotic programs instead of the simple defaults that actually work.
• The Identity Shift: Moving from the man who "needs to get in shape" to the man whose health is a non-negotiable business asset.

Systems Over Willpower

You don't rise to your intentions; you default to your infrastructure. If your fitness requires "perfect conditions," it was never going to last. It’s time to stop treating your body like a problem and start treating it like the foundation of your empire.

Iron Suits — Where Strength Wears the Crown.

🛑 Stop trying to "brute force" your biology. In the boardroom, aggression and long hours solve problems. In your body, that same "Go Hard" mentality is likely the reason you’re holding onto belly fat despite "doing everything right."

When you push a stressed body harder, it doesn't get leaner—it gets more protective. If your discipline is currently your biggest obstacle to progress, you need a change in strategy, not a change in effort.

I recorded a private 15-minute training that reveals the exact framework high-level men use to stop the "Aggression Cycle" and start working with their biology to get lean, strong, and energized without the burnout.
