Personal trainer

Sam believes that training is “therapy”. For Sam, exercising isn’t just a physical thing, it also helps keep him mentally strong and confident. Sam tries never to take breaks between days and follows a very strict diet.

His diet often includes a menu of 25% protein like chicken, turkey, eggs and fish, 15% vegetables like broccoli, green beans, asparagus, and 25% complex carbohydrates. He’s more focused on keeping himself lean and ripped than being bulky.

Sam maintains a low key balanced workout rather than going all spree to either bulk up or go really lean. He focuses on lots of cardio and maintaining a lean physique through full-body workouts. This type of workout routine helps him build muscle faster.
