“I am more confident, self-confident and disciplined!”
How many months of progress do your photos represent? What are your stats for each photo?
Almost one year of progress.
Weight: 150lbs to 128lbs
Body fat: 20-25% to 10-12%
What happened so far in the program?
I’ve cut back for 7 months – based on my calorie intake on the Katch-McArdle formula.
Then, collected for two months, calorie consumption was based on the Katch-McArdle formula rather than the numbers suggested in Bigger, smaller and stronger. I am gaining weight too quickly (I’ve gone from 10 to 15% body fat).
So I cut back for 3 months using the suggested calorie numbers for Bigger smaller and stronger program and decreased to 10% body fat.
My strength hasn’t progressed much. There are a few factors that I believe contributed to my general lack of strength advancement.
First, it took me a while to figure out the correct working weights for each exercise because I’m paranoid about shape. Second, I’ve been completely focused on losing weight, so I haven’t tracked my weights as closely as I should. Finally, I spent most of my time on the program, so strength gains were minimal.
However, I still gained some strength in most of my big lifts:
Bench press: 145 lbs to 165 lbs
Squat: 185lbs to 250lbs
Deadlift: 205lbs to 305lbs
Military pressure: 105lbs to 105lbs
What is the exercise separate from the book you used?
Split for 5 days.
What roughly prevented you from buying the book or starting the program, if any?
I’ve never been involved in strength training before and was baffled by all the conflicting advice out there, so I wasn’t sure if buying the book would be a good decision.
What do you like the most about the programme?
Following a workout program is much easier than I thought – not to say it’s not hard!
I really like that the program handles nutrition in a simple way because that’s the most confusing part for me.
How does this program compare to others you have tried?
I haven’t tried many other training programs other than the bad ones I made myself. The workouts are simple, effective, and challenging – I love them!
How has what you achieved in your body changed other areas of your life?
I am not disgusted with my body, I am more confident and self-confident. I am mentally stricter and disciplined when it comes to tackling challenging tasks of any kind.
Who would you recommend this program to and why?
I would recommend this program to anyone serious about changing their body or anyone looking to take their workouts to the next level.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Be patient with yourself and your training. Listen to your body. Don’t be afraid to rearrange the exercises if your body can’t do certain things.
The principles of training apply to any exercise. Enjoy!

Clinically effective doses
Great ingredients aren’t enough to make a great product – you also need the right doses.
That’s why we use the exact doses of each ingredient that has safely delivered the desired benefits in peer-reviewed studies.
Made in USA
Where dietary supplements are made is important, because rules and regulations regarding quality and purity vary from country to country.
And if you want to make sure that the supplements you swallow every day are safe and effective, you want products produced in the United States.
That’s why all of our supplements are made in America in NSF certified and FDA inspected facilities that operate under current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations.
We pay a premium to work with the best manufacturers in the country, but it’s the only way we can also produce the best natural sports supplements.
Lab Tested
Did you know that studies have shown that many supplements contain high levels of toxins such as lead, arsenic, and cadmium?
Not in our interest.
Every ingredient in every supplement we produce is tested for heavy metals, microbes, allergens, and other contaminants to ensure they meet the strict purity standards set by the Food and Drug Administration.
Flavored and naturally sweetened
While artificial sweeteners may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies show that regular consumption of these chemicals may actually be harmful to our health and that more research is needed.
That’s why all of our supplements are naturally sweetened and flavored and contain no artificial food dyes, fillers, or other unnecessary junk.
Science-backed ingredients and dosages
Unlike some supplement companies, we don’t sell questionable formulas with white labels or ready-to-use labels.
Instead, our customized and unique formulations are the result of extensive reviews of the scientific literature to discover the most effective ingredients for each.
