I joined the gym when I was 16 so I could look exactly like this.
I’m now 33 years old.
Took me long enough.
I used to live at home with my parents, I’d eat Indian food daily that mum cooked and wondered why I my progress was slow.
I used to think buying protein supplements, BCAAS, pre workout were like a magic potion and that I’d somehow pack on all this muscle in a few months.
I was a book smart guy, so naturally I was reading up on how to build muscle and I’d find myself on websites like bodybuilding.com before social media and YouTube became a thing.
I learned a lot, but I still didn’t make much progress.
I was smashing the gym 4x a week for YEARS.
Still couldn’t build a body that resembled someone that lifted.
I was actually embarrassed to tell people that I went to the gym and how long I had been lifting.
Then I started working, bought a house, got married, went on holidays, and I basically got worse with my health and body.
I was still training in the gym though (wasting time in reality)
The reason I quit my 9-5 over 3 years ago was to build the A Team.
To create something that my younger self needed.
If there was something like this when I started training I’d have thrown my money at it, knowing how I would skip all the time wasting, frustration and misunderstanding.
I’d have leapfrogged everyone.
The hours I spent in the gym wouldn’t have been an absolute waste of time.
As an introverted and reserved guy - body transformation has given me quiet confidence.
Confidence to leave a secure decade long Engineering career.
Confidence in what the A Team has done for so many South Asians already and what it will continue to do.
Only a small fraction of South Asians have navigated the culture to achieve their dream physique
Let that be you.
