transformation

1. Why did you decide to transform?

I decided to transform because I wanted to take control of my health and overall well-being. I was tired of feeling sluggish and wanted to live a more active and fulfilling life.

I had been overweight/chubby for almost all of my childhood and teenage years. I knew I wanted to change the way I looked but I always lacked clarity on how to start and would find some excuse to start later. Like any other fat/skinny person, I was body-shamed and bullied all the time. All this would add up to me feeling insecure about myself.

2. How did you accomplish your goals?

I started by setting realistic and achievable milestones and I stayed committed to them. It was a slow and steady process but the results were worth it. I also prepared a workout and a diet plan for myself from all the information that I could gather online and followed it for about 7-8 months.

3. Training routine that helped you achieve your goals

At the beginning of my transformation (2020), I stuck to only at-home workouts. I would do follow-along HIIT workouts. Once the lockdown ended, I started going to the gym and did strength training which I have been loving since.

4. Which supplements did you take?

I believe in getting most of my nutrients from whole foods but I did incorporate some basic supplements like whey protein and a multivitamin into my diet to support my training.

5. What challenges did you face during your transformation?

I faced moments of self-doubt and plateaus but I reminded myself of my “why” and stayed motivated. Nutrition discipline was also a big challenge but I learned to enjoy healthier foods.

6. Suggestion for future transformers

My suggestion for future transformers is to set clear, realistic goals, stay consistent, and don’t compare your journey to others. Everyone’s path is unique; so focus on your progress. Progress takes time and it’s important to focus on your growth.

1. Why did you decide to transform? 

I wanted to work on my health and improve my strength. This is why I decided to start my transformation journey.

2. How did you accomplish your goals? 

I stayed consistent with my weight training and took a healthy diet on a regular basis.

3. Training routine that helped you achieve your goals

I was not too specific about my training routine. I start with a push and pull leg workout. After this, I make sure I cover 2 parts per day and do bro split. I also made sure that I walk 15000 steps every day along with strength training programs. 

4. Which supplements did you take? 

Whey and multivitamin have been two supplements that I have truly trusted.

5. What challenges did you face during your transformation? 

It was a bit difficult for me to squeeze time for the gym everyday.

6. Suggestion for future transformers. 

Just stay consistent with your workout routine and diet.

1. Why did you decide to transform?

At the age of 15, I was naturally into fitness and had a dream of becoming a Roadie. This might seem funny but this was something that kept me motivated. 

2. How did you accomplish your goals? 

I was naive when I started my journey and I used to train vigorously without a routine but gradually I started hitting my protein goals and gaining knowledge on how to transform myself through proper training programs.

3. Training routine that helped you achieve your goals 

The most effective training routine that helped me was push-pull legs and working on more compound movements to increase strength simultaneously

4. Which supplements did you take? 

At the time of prep for Powerlifting I took creatine, protein, ZMA, vitamin D3, Ashwagandha, multivitamins, and selenium.

5. What challenges did you face during your transformation?

Honestly, since I have good genetics, I didn’t face any challenge as such that could hinder my growth. But yes it was difficult to do the same thing for several years to achieve the goal.

6. Suggestion for future transformers

The only suggestion for future transformers is – just try to implement your thoughts into action.

1. Why did you decide to transform? 

I decided to transform because I was very skinny and underweight and my friends used to troll me.

2. How did you accomplish your goals? 

I accomplished my goals with hard work, dedication, and consistency at my workout.

3. Training routine that helped you achieve your goals 

I have been consistent with my workout routine – starting at 7 pm, I make it a point that I work out till 9 pm.

4. Which supplements did you take? 

I have relied upon whey protein, creatine, fish oil, multivitamins, BCAAs, and pre-workout Glutamine.

5. What challenges did you face during your transformation?

As much as it is necessary to stay fit, it is also an expensive affair. I didn’t have the support from my family and buying supplements as well as taking up gym membership wasn’t easy. I took up a job that helped me start my fitness journey. In the beginning, it was tough for me to get results but gradually, as I got the hang of it, I was satisfied with the version I was becoming.

6. Suggestion for future transformers. 

It is really important to stay consistent from the beginning itself if you want to achieve your dream physique. Don’t go easy on your diet and workout. Only choose genuine supplements.
