Muscle for Life with Mike Matthews

Ep. #1134: How My Coaching Helped Dan Lose 20 Lbs and Gain Muscle


Listen Later

In this episode, I sit down with Dan, who achieved remarkable results through Legion’s one-on-one coaching program. 

In just 3 months, he shed 20 pounds, significantly reduced his body fat, and saw more muscle definition than ever before.

Though he previously experimented with various fitness routines like P90X and Body Beast, Dan's newfound success is rooted in his consistency with nutrition tracking and meal planning, along with a tailored workout routine that accommodated his hip arthritis.

In this interview, Dan opens up about his past challenges, including alcohol consumption and diet compliance, and how making changes in these areas contributed to his success. He shares insights into transitioning to a lean bulking phase and offers practical tips for others starting their fitness journeys.

Tune in to hear Dan's story and learn how personalization in training and diet, combined with a mindset focused on long-term sustainability, can lead to transformative results.
