Transformation ...67lbs in 5 months.

[Alex A]

I wanted to share this with you guys.. this is John, He was 265lbs when he came to me to lose some weight, get in shape and have a better quality of life. And live longer. hes 198lbs at 5'9"

Back then, he had high blood pressure, high cholestrol( obviously) and was taking bp meds.

I think he was worried about dying young.. He has a wife and 2 kids, works full time and lives in the desert. He does not train at a gym, just some equipment at home which is limited...but we made the best of it.

He will never compete, but is really happy with his six month progress. My plans for him now are to keep the weight down.. ( he was 265lbs, hes 198lbs now), build some size in his chest, get some abs and get a bit leaner.

He never used any pre contest thermos or even any over the counter fat burners. He wont ever compete, just wants to look good and enjoy life with his kids... it was great to be part of this..

the guy looks sharp, nice work. how old is he & did he train before he came to see you?

 

[Alex A]

he is 41 years old and was working out....... on and off for years but never had an established routine that he stuck to.....


he never followed a diet to be honest.. Just ate as he felt.. Never did cardio either..

Awesome. Not asking for specifics but what kind of diet was he following? Did he have to do a lot of cardio?

Everyone under your training should be required to shave their head

It is a requirement before they step on the scale for the after pics.. ( i want to take credit for every oz of weight loss!)...

This guy would not send me pics with his shirt off for a long long time! i had to beg him!

This is the first pic i have seen of him since starting to work with him..

I really got on his case for not specifically training his abs as I had put in his plan and specifically emphasised to him. ( i think he just didnt think it mattered but his tune has now changed since we spoke today about this).


Chris: the guy did one of my pretty basic, high protein, low fat, moderate carb diets..... he worked his way up to 45 min of cardio a day..
he is still doing 45 min a day 5 days a week.

To me, thats not really excessive but....for a guy with a job, family etc.. its a lot of time spent peddling a bike in his spare room..

But he never complained...

To me the biggest difference in looking at his transformation is in his face.. he looks 10 years younger atleast...

I want to thank you guys for taking the time to check this out. I know hes not a member here but i wanted to share this because i think its pretty inspiring..

Remember We are all fat guys trapped inside fit bodies
or atleast I am..

Great Transformation!!

Hey Alex Bro,

Amazing Transformation especially in 5 months. Congrats to John and also Alex our man. That's a pretty excellent achievement because he was doing the workouts at home instead of going to a proper gym. Amazing Results!
Also he was a walking time bomb and realised of his Blood Pressure and High Cholesterol and had to do something because he has a family. That's pure dedication !!! As Alex mention before, Bodybuilding is not about placings, it's about life changing and feeling good about yourself and healthy lifestyle and eating.
Well done John and Alex. That's teamwork effort!!

Respect!!

awesome to see normal peeps transform like that. They get an appreciation for bodybuilding, and learn to live a healthy lifestyle that will benefit himself as well as his family.
