Yo! Iād like to re-introduce myself since there have been a couple thousand new faces here š¤Æ
For those of you whoāve been here since time, thank you for your support!
If youāre newer here, you might think Iām just another āfitness influencerā and while I do try to positively influence people to get fitter, Iām not one of those cookie-cutter coaches.
Back in 2011, I was just a shy, quiet, skinny-fat kid who wanted nothing but to feel good about himself.
I started going to the gym in hopes that I could build muscle to start filling out my shirts and get lean enough to feel good taking my shirt off at the beach.
I was following every workout video I could find on YouTube and downloading any free meal plan I could find on Google.
Surprisingly, this skinny-fat version of me had the same work ethic I have today - but I was missing direction.
I was so confused because I was following every fitness influencer I could find and each one was giving cookie-cutter or conflicting advice.
āIntermittent fasting is the answerā
āKeto is keyā
āEveryone should do XYZ exercisesā
Looking back, a few of those pieces of advice from back then were true, but before I began studying to be a coach, it was hard to tell the difference between fact or fiction.
What was more annoying than the cookie-cutter advice were the influencers that posted motivational quotes everyday.
At first they got me excited, but when I hit a plateau⦠they got frustrating.š
Iād see a quote saying āmind over matterā or āno time? Make time.ā
I would read those and start thinking āListen, Iām already motivated but Iām still stuck⦠I need to know how many macros I gotta eat or something.āš¤¦š»āāļø
Things changed for me when I stopped following general advice and followed a plan that was specifically tailored for my body and lifestyle.
Thatās why now, I create content that gives clear, specific tips to help you take your physique to the next level š
