Summary

Nine years since his first appearance, Silverback AJ is back, older, wiser, and still lifetime natural. We go deep on what actually transforms a “skinny-fat” body, the truth about protein targets, why strength is the #1 progress metric, and how to set calories without obsessing over the scale. Ajmal breaks down training splits (bro split vs push/pull/legs), cardio vs steps, creatine and shilājit, and why most people stall because of… snacking. We also tackle the steroid question, the famous study everyone cites, and the Islamic line between looking after your body as an amānah and avoiding vanity. Fatherhood, discipline, legacy and practical steps you can start today.
