Transformation #2 â€“ Me

December 2, 2009

Every autumn, I dedicate my workouts to strength & power.
I set myself a goal, hit the gym and unleash the beast.
This year, my goal was to press 350 lbs overhead.
And, as that stupid grin on my face can attest to, not only did I achieve my goal, I crushed it by pressing 365 lbs overhead. Woo Hoo!
Unfortunately, along with all this superhuman strength comes some superhuman eating and a wee bit of extra body-fat.
As of this morning, I weighed in at 252.2 lbs @ 15.4% body-fat.

Way too p-p-porky for my liking.
So, as I do every winter, I clean up my diet and start a new training program similar to the one I gave to the Healthy Irishman.
The goal being that I drop my body-fat down to 10% without losing much muscle mass.

What is new for this year is that I will be doing this transformation in front of my millions […]

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
