Unable to find the reach he was hoping for, Kevin decides to wrap up the bands only podcast and move things over to Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. But good news, you can still join him there. Operation shirt off on Facebook, @bandsonly31 on Instagram, and big dog media on YouTube, where he will launch his reveal video live on June 17th!

Faced with the first real temptation to quit, Kevin had to adjust his thinking as well as his expectations for the results of this 120-day adventure.

With only a few weeks left in the transformation challenge, I finally started seeing some fruits to my labor. For the first time, I feel like I can pull this off and impress a few people, but mainly myself.

I have hit a mental block that I'm not sure I can overcome. I'm nearing 40 days to go on my transformation, and I'm really just 40 days from humiliating myself. I need some motivation, inspiration, encouragement, anything at all to get my motor revved up again. I really don't want to fail another time.

With less than 50 days to go, Kevin gets a possible visit from the Covid, which helped to knock him off track. After that, past mental issues and blocks make a roaring comeback, putting his ability to hit his Operation Shirt Off goal in doubt.

I'm now 60 ish days away from one of the scariest things I'll ever have to do: take my shirt off and post the picture. But what do I really expect to look like at the end of this challenge? What's a reasonable expectation for me from a physical standpoint? Maybe most importantly, what am I doing to get there?

It's not just steel plates that can get you into amazing shape. Bands can make a difference. In episode number two, we discuss three important things you should know, and then we take a moment to discuss their true effectiveness on chest mass and growth.

After struggling with his weight and obesity for the better part of his life, coming to a head at 377 pounds in 2006, Kevin decides it's time to finish his battle with the bulge. As an added challenge, no weights and no trainer, bands only.
