Sasha.
Young fitness fanatic. I'm the person behind Macro/24 because I got tired of clunky trackers, cringey wellness apps, and the whole diet-culture circus — the pastel gradients, the "mindful bites," the guilt-tripping streak counters. None of it was built for someone actually trying to put on muscle, hit protein, and train four days a week without a spreadsheet degree. I wanted a tracker that's fast, honest, and actually usable between sets. Nobody was making it. So I did.
I was in the gym for 2 years, but my diet constantly lacked.
I spent two years in the gym before anything actually happened. Two years of showing up, lifting hard, thinking I was doing everything right — but my diet constantly lacked. I wasn't hitting protein, I wasn't tracking calories, and I definitely wasn't sleeping like I should have been. Predictably, I stayed the same size.
Then I finally stopped pretending hard work alone was enough. I started tracking macros, eating like it mattered, and actually recovering. Not because I'm neurotic (okay, a little neurotic) but because I realized every jacked person online said the same thing: count your protein or stop complaining. Once I did, the body finally started catching up to the effort.
The problem was the tools. MyFitnessPal feels like a museum piece. Cronometer is tax software. The rest are wellness apps with pastel gradients that don't know what a hypertrophy block is. So somewhere between class and squat sessions, I started building Macro/24 — the version I actually wanted.
It's still early. It's mostly just me. But if you're a lifter who's done with garbage UI, or anyone who just wants to log a meal in three seconds without an ad for a smoothie subsidy — this is for you. It's for me too. That's the whole point.
What I actually do.
No gimmicks. This is the routine I've run and the one Macro/24 is calibrated for.
Chest
Heavy pressing first. Incline, flat, and enough flies that the upper chest finally shows up.
Shoulders · Triceps
Lateral raises, overhead press, then triceps until the horseshoe starts forming.
Legs
Squat, RDL, and enough accessories that stairs become a personal insult.
Back · Biceps
Pull day. Rows, pulldowns, and curls until the sleeves stop fitting.
Three rules.
Lift heavy. Do it right.
Real form. Real sleep. Real food. Ignore the internet uncles. The basics have never lost.
Tracking beats vibes.
You can't outwork numbers. If you don't know your protein, your kcal, or your sleep — you're guessing. Guessing is slow.
Apps should respect you.
No ads. No streak guilt. No fake celebration confetti. Just the data, clean, and out of the way.
What dedication does.
Not a before/after ad. Just the receipts — 155lbs, years of showing up. This is the body Macro/24 is calibrated for.
