99% of “personal trainers”, “body builders”, “nutritionists”, and “dieticians” would tell you what I have done is impossible, and quickly dismiss it as a lie, or superior genetics (labeling me an anomaly instead of the norm).

Indeed, quite the opposite is true.

  • What I have accomplished is very possible for the average joe.
  • I would sooner stab myself than lie.
  • I grew up a fat kid. While some parts of my…
