About MJ and his 12 Weeks on The SixPackNow Program
I have always been big built and thought it was due to my genetics, same old story. Thinking I take after all the others in my family and that I have as much chance in achieving a six pack as winning the lottery!
The only weight training equipment I had ever seen was in the gym when I tagged along with my father at the age of 9, and watched him and all the other big guys huffing and puffing and pushing out pounds and pounds of weights, it was the sort of gym that smelt of real sweat, hot, stuffy, hard to breath yet all the guys and girls were huge, motivated and trained hard and wanted to be the Mr Universe that they always dreamt about.
Losing My 'Tubby' Image
It was not until the age of 26 that myself and a colleague of mine started at a gym in a near by neighbourhood, there were a couple of regular guys in there, once again big, lean and had even competed here in the UK, I idolized these chaps and thought wouldn't it be great to be big, for once in my life I would be noticed, so me and my friend started going regularly on a weekly basis, yes, we were pushing little piddly weights to start with, but over a period of 24 months I eventually moved onto the big weights, bulked up in the region of 24Lbs, now this was not 24Lbs of pure muscle, I had done no cardio, had a sweet tooth so eat all sorts food containing high calories, but all the bulk was mainly fat, I had muscle there but in combination with the fat it gave me that big appearance, only problem was that the average guy or girl would look at me and think that this was my body that I had grown up to have, they thought that I had done no training whatsoever.
I even got the name ‘Tubby’ by all my close friends in and out of the work place. Yes it was easy building up to this, eating two whole chickens and six eggs a day, consuming about 3,500 – 4,000 Kcal per day, drunk whey powders till they were pouring out of my ears, but all along I had no satisfaction as not once did someone say "is all that down to training in the gym?".
I wanted to be that guy I saw on the beach
Now, I know I was no expert, that I was not dedicated to being all pure muscle and looking like the guys in the magazines, but I had tried, spent money on supplements/magazines etc. Then one summer on holiday, I saw a guy walk down the beach ripped to shreds, he must of had about 5 or 6% body fat on him, his Abs were just pushing through and looked sensational.
As he walked down the beach everyone turned round, not
only the women, but the guys too, yes we all do it, we don't admit to it but
in the corner of our eye's we do look and think ‘damn, that guys in great
shape’, yes it’s probably jealousy, but hey, the guy worked hard for it so
you have to give him some credit, at this point I decided to shred that fat
off, get a six pack, and get those looks on the beach by all.
