Why I Decided to TransformI was tired of being the only one in my group of friends without abs and wanted to be in the best
shape possible. I wanted to raise my confidence again and look down and see a six pack. This wasn't
just a fitness transformation; it was a life transformation too. I wanted to change and live a happy,
healthy life.
How I Accomplished My GoalsAt the time, most of my friends were active. They lifted weights, wrestled, and swam. I had a great
support system, but I lacked a gym pass and nutrition knowledge, so I did 2-3 cardio sessions per day
consisting of swimming, hiking, push-ups and sit-ups. The only way to describe the training was like
watching Rocky train in terrain while everyone else had the blessings of a gym.
I learned to diet through research and my buddy Austin Lee who was supportive. Although it was the
toughest five months ever, I stuck through it each day by looking at inspirational physiques and
knowing that someday it would be me.
Supplements That Helped Me Through the JourneyThroughout my transformation, I used supplements from Bodybuilding.com that helped me reach my
goals. Supplements can help big time depending on your goal, diet, and exercise regimen. It's not
about the quantity of supplements, it's about quality, timing, and dosage.

Diet Plan that Guided My TransformationAfter researching the three macronutrients: proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, it was obvious the
carbs had to go. Throughout my transformation, I lived on a no/low-carb diet, which quickly helped me
eliminate fat while putting on muscle. I stuck to chicken, eggs, tuna, almonds, and peanuts mostly. I
called it a caveman diet.

Training Regimen that Kept Me on TrackI didn't have the luxury of a gym pass, so I did bodyweight exercises and free-running cardio. Don't let
a lack of a gym pass be your excuse not to get in the best shape of your life. Use it to your advantage
and allow Mother Earth's terrain to be your trainer.

What Aspect Challenged Me the MostThe lack of a gym pass challenged me most. Everyone else had the privilege of a gym. I was in a
constant battle to stay motivated by using my surroundings.
My Future Fitness PlansIn the future, I would like to model and
compete in physique contests. I look up to
Greg Plitt and Steve Cook.
Suggestions for AspiringTransformersStay motivated, there is always light at the
end of the tunnel. The winner and loser both
fail, but the difference is that the winner keeps
going after failure. Be ready at any time to give
up what you are now for what you want to
become! Train smart and remember with hard
work you will have success.
How Bodybuilding.comHelped Me Reach My GoalsI looked at great physiques to inspire me on
Bodybuilding.com every day. I also read
articles about how supplements affect the
body for the best results. Thank you,
Bodybuilding.com.
CreditThanks to my friends, Austin Lee and Zack Tapp, for always believing in my vision and helping me
transform.

One-hour of HIIT cardio, you serious? You must have a rock
solid determination.
Looking at this article, reminds me of the phrase "Excuses are

Great work Alex! I am a big fan of bodyweight exercises and
you have proven that they get results if you put in the
necessary work. There will always be those that think you
have to pump iron to accomplish your transformation, but
keep doing what you are doing!

People underestimate bodyweight training and calisthenics.
I've reached my physique with using my boy-weight only as
well. Congrats bro! You've done a great job.
