Client Case Study: Ian

FROM 140 TO 150 — AND STRONGER THAN EVER

When Ian started with me back in January, he was 140 pounds, struggling to stay consistent in the gym, and unsure if what he was doing was even working.

He told me straight up:

“I just want a routine that makes sense, helps me build muscle, and doesn’t jack up my back.”

Fast forward to today, and here’s what we’ve built together:

💪 Strength Gains (Jan 10 → May)• Squat: 40 lb → 135 lb for 3x5• Bench Press: 25 lb dumbbells → 115 lb barbell for 5 reps• RDLs: 15 lb dumbbells → 135 lb barbell for 3x10• Pull-Ups: 4, 3 reps w/ assistance → 8 full bodyweight reps• Shoulder Press: 15 lb → 35 lb for 3x8

But the physical progress only tells part of the story.

Before we started working together, Ian:

• Struggled to stay consistent with any workout routine

• Didn’t know if his form was safe or effective

• Had nagging back pain and poor posture

• Felt stuck trying to gain muscle despite eating more

• Lacked confidence in the gym and didn’t know what worked

Now?

• He trains every week with purpose and consistency

• His posture is improving, and his back pain is nearly gone

• He’s lifting heavier than ever with confidence and control

• He’s gaining muscle and weight for the first time in years

• He’s weighing in between 146–150 lbs with a steady trend line up — all lean mass

• 
  

This didn’t happen by accident. It happened through smart training, personalized programming, and relentless consistency.

If you're a guy like Ian stuck at the same weight, feeling like you're spinning your wheels in the gym this is your sign to stop guessing and start getting results that actually stick.
