1 YEAR DIFFERENCEā¦
SAME BODYWEIGHT, COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LIFE!
113kg in both photos.
Left: Deep in contest prep, a few weeks out. Shredded, very low calories, structured nutrition, higher output and bodybuilding was the priority.
Right: Retired from bodybuilding, clearly softer but more energy. Training four days a week, not tracking my food. Eating out a few times a week, enjoying family life and still maintaining a physique Iām proud of.
Could I be leaner right now? Absolutely.
But that would require more precision with my nutrition, tracking my intake, being more diligent with my steps and sacrificing some of the flexibility I currently enjoy.
And right now, I simply donāt feel the need to.
If I want something, Iāll eat it. I prioritise protein, put most of my carbs around training, train hard four days a week and do my cardio every day for my health.
For the last 10 months Iāve also only been using clinically managed TRT, and I donāt even use growth hormone anymore.
The biggest lesson?
You donāt need to live like a bodybuilder to look like you train.
When training becomes part of your lifestyle and you actually understand nutrition, maintaining a great physique doesnāt require your entire life to revolve around food, cardio and the gym.
Build the knowledge.
Build the habits.
Stay consistent long enough.
Eventually, staying in shape just becomes part of who you are.
