I'm 21 years old and have been training for over 5 years. Many (if not all) of you viewing this know me from Tiktok and Instagram.

Hopefully from the contents of my videos, I've demonstrated my passion and knowledge for this subject. For the last 5 years, I've dedicated a large part of my life to Fitness, Health and the Self Improvement — seven days per week.

But years ago, I was not the towering 5'6" semi-shredded fitness dude I am today — although I was the same height.

I was a skinny, starry-eyed, high-school teen looking to get faster at Track & Field and maybe put on a little bit of muscle.

When I first began lifting, I spent a whole summer experimenting, having fun and showing up to the gym every single day at 10am on the dot.

I had no idea what I was doing, but nevertheless I showed up, put in the work and in 3 months people started noticing my progress.

In a year, I made massive strides towards the physique of my dreams.

And in three years, friends, family and random acquaintances started asking me:

"What was the Secret?"

While there is no actual secret (and anyone who tells you otherwise should not be taken seriously) I will tell you this.

If there were 3 things I wish I knew when I first began it would be this:

1) Consistency & Longevity are the rules of the game; Meaning Rest Days, warmups, and recovery are just as important as the actual training and simply sticking to your plan for a long period of time will amount to you seeing gains.

2) Don't ever squat heavy on the Smith Machine.

3) This Program. And I mean it.
