Shantanu’s transformation is an impressive story. He was a lean guy who was always bullied and laughed upon. He successfully added some muscle mass to his body.
Why you decided to Transform?
Even though I had been thinking about it for a while but I decided it was time to make a change when I was tired of being bullied around.
How did you accomplish your Goal:
There are 3 pillars to success. Dedication, Determination & Discipline. I think you can achieve anything if you focus on these. I started focusing on all three as I knew I wanted to change the way I look.

Suggestion for future transformers
Stop giving up. Start eating. Working out alone does not build muscle, working out doesn’t mean you will lose fat. Diet is the key.
