Summary

I had a goal this year to get into the best shape of my life by my 40th birthday. And I'm proud to say that on May 19, I accomplished it! I did this for two reasons... One, I've been working out since I was 15 years old, but I wanted to see what would be possible if we really dialed in the diet and the workouts. And secondly, my daughter was going to be born around my 40th birthday so I wanted to redefine what it meant to have a dad bod. I've received A LOT of messages and emails asking what my diet looked like or what my workout plan looked like -- and we'll get into all of the nitty-gritty details during this episode, but I started at 202 and over the course of these 90 days I ended at 177 -- and I did it with the help of a world-renowned nutritionist and fitness coach AJ Simms (@cementfactory) who has trained wrestling stars like Bobby Lashley, LA Knight, EC3, Johnny Gargano, Apollo Crews and he's the guy who got Tommaso Ciampa looking like a beast recently. I did this all naturally -- although hey, I appreciate all of the comments from people accusing me of taking PEDs or doing TRT. That is honestly the best possible compliment for you to think this kind of result isn't possible without drugs. Hilarious! I hope you enjoy this episode with the one and only AJ Simms!
