It's been an enjoyable, educational and disciplined journey as my knowledge has increased several fold with regards to how the body/muscles work, nutrition to build mass and lose weight. Also, how far would I be prepared to push myself to the limit to achieve my goals as I'd be expecting from my own clients.
Over the 13 months, I've trained 4-6 times per week, every single week without fail except for when I missed 10 days of training in December due to the flu virus. In February 2013 I weighed 93kg, September 2013 - 101kg, January 2014 - 106kg and April 2014 - 99kg. I put on this size due to training hard but in the correct manner, eating between 4,500 to 5,000 calories a day (even when not hungry) and doing this consistently over time. No short cuts.
I'll be looking to transform myself quite a bit yet from the last picture. Watch this space!
