My Story
The truth is, I love to eat. Food was my priority. I was heavy throughout my life, even in high school. I played some sports but never committed to working out. As an adult, food became my escape, a coping mechanism. Late-night snacking… “munchies”, were the worst. At the start of COVID-19, I hit my heaviest weight - 280 lbs (127 kg). That’s when I knew I had to change.
I transformed my basement from a bar into a gym. A smith machine, squat rack, adjustable dumbbells, and an operational sauna were, and still are, my tools. But the real challenge wasn’t physical - it was mental. #ConquerYourMind became my mantra. I cleaned up my diet and dropped to 260 lbs (118 kg). But then I plateaued.
Needing a real change, I started working with a nutritionist in June 2024, and in just seven months, I lost 25 kg (55 lbs). Learning about proper nutrition changed everything. Now, with a trainer guiding me, I’m pushing toward the physique I’ve always envisioned.
Today, I live by a simple truth: excuses won’t get me there. Only the actions I take now will.
Why TINT?
In Rocky III, Apollo Creed looks Rocky in the eyes and says, “There Is No Tomorrow.” That was my inspiration. The fire in Rocky’s eyes is what it’s all about.
These words aren’t just about fitness; they apply to everything. Dreams don’t happen “someday”- you must turn them into goals. Set a plan, take action, and push forward.
For me, whether it was skydiving, learning to ride a motorcycle, seeing my favorite metal bands, traveling to dream destinations with my partner, losing weight, or starting my own brand, these words mean something to me, and I hope they mean something to you too. We all want to be the best versions of ourselves.
So today, let’s focus on being better, together, because There Is No Tomorrow.
