I've been a keen sportsman most of my life, playing basketball through school and rugby through my 20s. I have stopped playing rugby for the last six years due to long-term injuries.
18 months ago I was weighing in at about 115kgs. I had been a keen gym goer since school but never took it that seriously, just did the usual work out and hit the bakery afterwards......haha. This is when I met Mike.
After meeting Mike a few times and meeting a new group of people, I decided to make a change in lifestyle. I changed my diet and the way I worked out, I then began using Reactiv Whey protein with guidance from Mike. The only thing that I really changed in the gym was the intensity of my exercises, the thing that had to change the most was my diet! This was the hardest part of it all, to get over the cravings of fast food and sweets. After a few weeks these cravings subsided and eating began to be an easy routine.
The first two weeks were the hardest because I couldn't see any changes but I stuck at it with motivation from Mike and a lot of support from my partner, which helped me keep up the diet and the intensity at the gym. 3 weeks later from making this life changing decision, I began to lose weight and my strength and fitness increased.
After 8 weeks I had lost 15kgs putting under 100kgs for the first time in about 2 years. This is when I began seeing big changes in definition and body composition, then after 12 weeks I had lost a whopping 25kgs and I had abs!! My body had made a huge physical change and with that so did my drive. This is what I didn't expect, I thought about things and looked at things differently, my mind was a lot more focussed.
I began using creatine in my diet and this, with more advice from Mike, helped me develop both physically and strength wise. Also recently I began supplementing HMB and L-Glutamine into my diet. I have noticed a big decrease in muscle soreness, to the point of no soreness at all!! This made me want to train harder, it picked my intensity up and my muscles recovered faster.
Eighteen months has passed now and I look at some pictures of myself from not so long ago and think "why didn't I do this a long time ago?!". I feel great and look better than I ever have before and those injuries that stopped me from playing rugby don't bother me anymore.
With more of Mike's support and Reactiv, I plan to grow and develop even further. I would never have thought that I could ever look the way I do now, but the thing is that I know that I can develop my physique further. I have found Mike's advice and Reactiv supplementation invaluable.
