From running 5 miles a day… to stepping on a bodybuilding stage.
When Michael first came to The Atlas Gym, he had just finished undergrad and was working as a manager at Nordstrom.
His routine?
Running 5 miles every day.
Despite all the cardio, his physique still had a bigger midsection and very little upper body development.
Instead of doing more cardio, we did the opposite.
We put Michael on a structured bodybuilding split, focused on building muscle, and taught him how to fuel his body properly.
The result?
Michael didn’t just transform his physique.
He stepped on stage and became nationally qualified in the WNBF Natural Classic Physique division.
Even more powerful; the experience changed his life.
Michael left his management career and is now pursuing his passion as a personal trainer, something he had always wanted to do!
This is what happens when someone commits fully to the process.
Nice Transformation 💪
