No before-and-afters with cropped heads. No stock-photo abs. Three case studies in three different formats, in the words of the clients who lived them.
56-hr weeks, two kids, ‘no time’, three failed programs.
Found 130 lost minutes / week. Calendar invite at 4:55pm.
Down 14 lb. 8 strict pull-ups. Energy at 8pm. Pants loose since college.
“The thing I didn’t expect was that I stopped crashing at 8pm. I have energy for my kids again. My wife mentioned it before I did.
Week 1. I told Mav I wanted to do five days a week. He cut me to three before round one. I was annoyed. I went anyway.
Week 4. First time in years I haven’t skipped a Monday. The hand-written page in my phone is dumb and I love it.
Week 8. Finished the starter. He asked if I wanted to repeat. I said yes before I overthought it.
Week 12. Eight strict pull-ups. I have not been able to do one since high school. I cried in the parking lot. I’m fine.
Week 16. Down 11 lb without thinking about it. He never once made me feel small about it. Asked to stay on for The Build.

“I thought I needed five sessions a week. He cut me to three and I’ve never looked better. The audit was the whole game.
