Today was a good day! The sun was out and I was feeling the best I’ve felt in a while. My body was chomping at the bit for a workout. Gonna be honest, was scared thinking about the effort I was going to put out and reliving the feeling of hypoxia (lack of oxygen) that I had with Covid. I was in the hospital for 33 days and in ICU for 14 days. Weight was a lean 212 lbs before getting sick and dropped down to 146 lbs (lost 66 lbs). I did leg day but stayed away from squats and opted for the sitting leg press instead . In case I passed out, didn’t have to worry about falling. Managed to do half the stack (200 lbs) for sets of 10-12.
I want to thank my brother, for doing everything in his power and keeping me off the ventilator. His birthday is tomorrow and I wanted to say happy birthday, thank you, and I love you brother, something we don’t often get go say. Happy Friday everyone!

This is my 90 day transformation results. I started out at 206 pounds at 23% body fat and ended up at 207 pounds and 16.9% body fat. I lost 12 pounds of fat and gained 13 pounds of muscle. My goal was 15 pounds of muscle, just shy of hitting it. It wasn’t for lack of effort, gave it everything I had but a pulled hamstring set me back for a few weeks.

Took 3 wheels for a spin last week with no back pain. Prior max was 215, but always with considerable back pain. took me back to basics and fixed my technique, grateful for that. It’s difficult to fix your blind spots, often requires a different set of eyes.

Leg day! Hired a personal trainer who helped me correct my form and improve on my imbalances. Finally able to squat heavy without back pain. Working on getting to deadlift without pain too. Thanks highly recommend him if you’re trying to get back in shape.

Your doctor might not be aware of this, but diabetes is reversible. This patient had it for 20 years and the best current treatment protocols could do was get him to a HBA1c of 11.9. When you are ready to reverse diabetes, we can help you do it.
