Body : Anthony Went From Spud To Stud. No More Couch Potato

Why I Got Started

I was always active during high school and college but after I graduated college all the activity I relegated myself to was in front of the television focusing on the video games every day after work and non-stop on the weekends. One morning I woke and looked at myself in the mirror shirtless and was disgusted.

I told myself that a 26 year old should not look like this and that I should be in the physical prime of my life. I shouldn’t be out of breath when walking up stairs and feel lousy all the time. The same day I packed some gym clothes into a bag and headed to the gym after work and was hooked.

Basically, I did not feel good about myself and wanted to change that.

How I Did It

I had no muscle; I was just a skinny fat person. So I started by reading a poorly written article on bulking. I wish I could say everything perfectly fell into place after that, but it didn’t. I did bulk up but in all the wrong places. I went from 160lbs at over 20% body fat to 220lbs at 20%. Granted I gained tons of strength but I did not look good.

So I started to research dieting and finally got my butt on a treadmill. I kept my diet very strict, consuming mostly chicken or fish with tons of veggies and learned about the different types of carbs. As soon as I started to cut the fat away, I focused more and more on cardio. I learned about how supplements can actually improve my results along with good diet and exercise.

Then, I finally started to run outside. A big step for me! It was something I thought I could never do! I kept lifting heavy 5 days a week, doing cardio such as jump roping or running for 15-30 minutes after every lifting session and on my rest days and kept my diet strict and clean.
