The Get Big Portion of the program was the most challenging thing I have ever put my body through. The workouts were so hard and intense that I felt like those were the first real workouts of my life. Food to me was purely fuel- the substances I needed to get me through these training sessions. I took every Magnum Supplement we make excluding Heat our Fat Burner. Micah made it a rule that I had to get stronger every week. My weights had to increase every week. Of the 16 weeks in this phase, I went up in weights 14 times. We took my 232 lb. 15% body fat physique to 256 lbs. and 19.3% body fat, an increase of close to 10 solid pounds of Muscle in 4 months. We then started the Get Ripped portion of the plan. I was very excited. The next 4 months consisted of way more cardio and the training sessions left me and the gym soaked. There is a video of me dripping all over the place at the gym; I would need to mop up after every session. Luckily I build a gym at the Magnum headquarters, so the number of people offended by my sweating habits was limited. I loved that Micah kept my calories fairly high. Again, there were no low carb days, no carb cycling, no starving myself. I was putting in the hours and my body needed to be fed- we wanted to keep all that hard earned muscle we had just put on. Markus Transformation was featured in Natural Muscle Magazine! During this Phase I added Magnum Heat to the Mix and was officially taking every Magnum Supplement. I went from 256 and 19.3% body fat to 220lbs and approx. 7% body fat. I Lost 36 lbs. in 4 months almost all of which was fat!!
