So I'm one of those who people consider "lucky"... why? Because I eat whatever I want and don't gain any weight! The most I've ever weighed is 136 lbs, but for the majority of the time, I fluctuate between 125 lbs. to 130 lbs. I'm 5'8", so people look at me and always ask, "why are you so skinny? You need to gain some weight!" Then they see me eat, and they ask me, "where do you put all that food?" So believe it or not... it got to me. All the leadership and books about believing in myself, it didn't matter, inside I wasn't comfortable with how I looked. As an expert mountain biker, I was always fit, had great endurance, was strong, fast, can play many sports, but I was always skinny. Going to the beach and swimming in a pool, even though I loved it, I thought about it twice before going because I was always conscious of how I looked without a shirt and wondered what people were saying about me. So this 8 Week Challenge, which was my 2nd cycle, I decided to set a goal that people said was crazy and that I wouldn't be able to do. I decided I was going to gain 15 lbs. of muscle mass in 8 weeks! I started my challenge at 130 lbs. and not only did I reach my goal, but I surpassed it! The day before my challenge ended, which was basically my last "workout" day, I decided to weigh in and I weighed in at 146.4 lbs! Woohoo!!! I was excited! My previous weigh in , which was a week before, I weighed in at 139.8 lbs., just missed the 140 lbs. mark. I think it was the 4th of July and all the eating that gave me that extra push on the final week! But to be honest, I truly believe it was that I gave myself a couple of days of rest that week. Let me explain...
I was working out 6-7 days a week, non-stop. I was eating between 180g-220g of protein daily. I didn't worry about the carbs or fats, I figured I'd get them with all the fruit, veggies, pancakes, waffles and tacos I ate... seriously. I was taking 4-6 YOR MRP Shakes a day, plus I took my vitamins, supergreens, digestive enzymes, repairs and probiotics, and boy did they all help, especially since I felt full all day. Well, 2 weeks before the challenge was over, I spent the weekend at my mom's in Palm Springs where I got a full weekend of rest. When I got back that Monday, I went from 135 lbs that I weighed that previous Friday to 139.8 lbs. So my last week I tried the same strategy and it worked. I figured I'd gain an extra 3-4 lbs. the last week, but to my surprise, I gained over 6 lbs! All the work and consistency paid off. It was a tough 8 weeks, balancing between work, responsibilities, stress, my family, and I somehow found the time for this, and talk about demotivation... in my 3rd week I was only at 133 lbs., so I almost quit. But thanks to my wife and my mom, they encouraged me to keep going and they fed me day after day and made me eat all my veggies! So thank you Adriana, mom and to all those who supported me through my 8 week challenge. I feel great, have tons of energy and I'm in great shape. So on with my next challenge... what will it be? hmmm... stay tuned! God bless and thank you for reading.
