✅Justin dropped 25 pounds, lost all his fat, and is now thriving in a lean bulk phase.

Before we started working together, Justin was stuck in the same cycle a lot of guys fall into:
* Struggling to stay consistent 
* Not sure what to actually do to keep results sustainable 
* Battling the mindset of “what if it doesn’t work?” 
His biggest hesitation wasn’t effort—it was the unknown. He wasn’t sure if this would be another plan that didn’t stick. But he took a risk on himself—and it paid off.
Now?
* 25 pounds down. 
* Fat gone. 
* Stronger and leaner than ever—building real muscle in a smart, sustainable way. 
One of the biggest factors that helped him stay locked in was my Team Alpha community…

a group of people all holding the same high standard, pushing for more, and supporting each other through the journey.

Justin didn’t just lose weight.
 He rebuilt his mindset.
 He built real consistency.
 And he learned how to win long-term, not just for a few months.

That’s the difference when you combine the right plan, the right support, and a belief that you deserve more.

Proud of you Justin. 🔥
 You’re just getting started.

🚨 Sanders lost 53lbs while working 50+ hours a week and raising kids.

But the weight wasn’t the only thing holding him back.

Before coaching, he was:

* Struggling to stick to anything consistent 
* Overwhelmed with trying to figure it out alone 
* Tired, low energy, and frustrated with his body 
* Lacking structure, accountability, and real nutrition guidance 
He didn’t need another cookie-cutter plan. He needed a coach. A system. A real plan built around his life.

And that’s what we did.

✅ Custom workouts based on his time & schedule

✅ A nutrition plan tailored to his weight & preferences 
✅ Weekly accountability to stay consistent
 ✅ Mindset support to break through doubt and plateaus

Now he’s down 53lbs, has more energy for his family, and feels better than he has in years.

This is what happens when you stop trying to do it alone and get the right structure, support, and strategy.

📩 DM me “READY” if you want results like Sanders. 
This isn’t a generic plan—this is coaching built for you.

👑 Been lifting for YEARS but STILL don’t look lean and muscular as a shorter guy?

You’ve tried bulking.
You’ve tried cutting.
You’ve gotten stronger.

But every time you look in the mirror, there’s something you’re unhappy with.

Either your stomach is too big…
Or you feel too small.

And it feels like you’re constantly stuck choosing between the two.

Here are 3 mistakes that could be keeping you there 👇🏻

1️⃣ You end your cuts WAY too early.
You start losing weight.

Your stomach is finally getting smaller.
But then you look at the scale and panic.

“Fuck, I’m getting too small.”

So you immediately start eating more.

And never actually get lean enough to see the muscle you’ve built.

STOP judging your physique by bodyweight alone.
Look at your waist, progress pictures, and gym performance before deciding to end your cut.

2️⃣ You’re bulking WAY too aggressively.

You want to build muscle FAST.

So you start eating everything in sight.
Your weight shoots up.

But a lot of that extra weight isn’t muscle.

Now you’re spending months dieting just to get rid of the fat you gained.

A bigger calorie surplus doesn’t automatically mean more muscle growth.

Focus on a controlled surplus and consistent training progression.

3️⃣ You’re not paying attention to HOW your physique is changing.

You’re so focused on weighing more or less that you’re ignoring the actual goal.

Looking muscular.
A smaller waist.
Wider shoulders.
A developed chest and back.

Better overall proportions.

Use progress pictures, waist measurements, and strength progression to guide your decisions.

Because the goal isn’t to be as heavy OR as light as possible.

It’s to build a physique you’re actually happy with.

💯 Stop spending every year bouncing between getting too big and getting too small.

👑 If you’re under 5’8 and tired of putting in the work without getting the physique you want, DM me “SHORT KING.”

I’ll help you figure out whether you should be cutting, building, or maintaining so you can finally start moving in the RIGHT direction. by @awolmuscle

It all started as a belief…💯

This month marks 6 YEARS since I started as an online coach.

Back in 2020, I started my business after leaving the gym I worked at. For 2 years, I balanced in-person training with online coaching before going fully online.

But this is more than an anniversary.

It’s realizing how much your life can change when you take a chance on yourself.

When I started, I didn’t believe in myself. I didn’t see myself as a leader, someone confident, or even someone worth listening to.

I struggled with imposter syndrome, wondering why anyone would listen to ME.

But putting myself out there was one of the best things to happen to me.

It forced me to grow into someone I never saw myself as before.

From 2021–2023, I was getting MILLIONS of views monthly. With that came hundreds of hate comments and messages.

At first, I let that shit get to me. I’d waste time defending myself to strangers.

Until I realized…

We only have so much energy to give every day.

And I was wasting mine on people whose opinions had no real impact on my life. Energy I could’ve spent on my business, clients, or enjoying life.

Now? I genuinely couldn’t care less.

Not everything deserves your attention, reaction, or energy.

These 6 years taught me so much about self-development.

Getting uncomfortable creating content. Working on myself physically and mentally. Making incredible friends and experiencing opportunities I never imagined.

👉🏻 You have the power to CHANGE how you view yourself.

Just because you’ve seen yourself a certain way your entire life doesn’t mean that’s who you have to be forever.

I didn’t start confident or believing I could build something like this.

I became that person by taking risks, getting uncomfortable, failing, learning, and continuing to show up.

Sometimes you have to take the risk BEFORE you have the confidence to believe it’ll work.

And 6 years later, I’m still here doing something I once wasn’t sure was possible.

I’m truly blessed.

Whether you’ve been here since day 1 or just found me, thank you for your support! ❤️

Here’s to another 6 years and more.

🍬 If you’re tired of your stomach hanging over your pants, STOP thinking you need to give up every food you love to lose it.

One of the BIGGEST mistakes guys make when trying to lose belly fat is thinking they need to completely eliminate their favorite foods.

But here’s the thing…

You don’t need to stop eating sweets. You need to get smarter about HOW you eat them.

If you have a sweet tooth like me, finding lower-calorie alternatives can make staying in a calorie deficit MUCH easier.

And those small swaps add up over weeks and months. 📉

The goal isn’t to eat perfectly.

It’s to find ways to enjoy your favorite foods WITHOUT constantly sabotaging your progress.

Because the best diet isn’t the most restrictive one…

It’s the one you can actually stick to.💪🏻

⚠️ Quick heads-up: Sugar-free gummies can cause stomach discomfort if you eat too many, so pay attention to portions!

💯 Scared losing 10 pounds will make you look SMALLER as a short guy?

I get it.

You’ve spent YEARS trying to build muscle.
And when you’re already shorter than most guys, the LAST thing you want is to feel even smaller.

So you hold onto those extra pounds.

Even though you don’t like how your stomach looks.
Even though you’re constantly adjusting your shirt to hide your waist.
Even though deep down you know you’d probably feel better leaning out.

But here’s something you need to understand…
Losing weight doesn’t automatically mean looking smaller.

Here are 3 reasons losing 10 pounds could actually make you LOOK more muscular 👇🏻

1️⃣ A smaller waist improves your proportions.

When your waist gets smaller, your shoulders and back can appear wider in comparison.
That’s how you create more of that V-taper instead of looking blocky.

2️⃣ The muscle you’ve built becomes more visible.

You might already have solid shoulders, arms, and chest.
But if you’re carrying extra body fat, you may not be able to see the definition you’ve worked so hard for.
Losing fat can help reveal it.

3️⃣ Your overall shape can improve.

Instead of just looking thick everywhere, you start seeing more separation between your shoulders, chest, arms, and waist.

And THAT can make a huge difference in how muscular you look.

BUT HERE’S THE 🔑

Don’t crash diet just to see the scale drop.

Keep lifting hard.
Eat enough protein.
Use a moderate calorie deficit.

And track your strength so you’re doing your best to preserve muscle.

👑 I spent years thinking I needed to get BIGGER at 5’3.
But sometimes the answer isn’t another 10 pounds.

It’s revealing the muscle you’ve already spent years building.

🚨 Short kings: tired of being “back on track” every Monday?

You eat less, squeeze in extra workouts, and try to do everything perfectly.

Then life gets busy. The weekend throws you off. And you feel like you’re starting from zero again.

That cycle is frustrating. It’s also a reason to rethink the plan, not beat yourself up.

Your fat-loss approach needs to work on busy days, social weekends, and the weeks when motivation is low.

What’s hardest for you: food, workouts, or staying consistent?

Follow me for practical fat-loss guidance for shorter men. 💪 by @awolmuscle

👑 One of the BIGGEST traps shorter guys fall into is believing they’ll FINALLY be confident when they’re big enough.

I know because I’ve been there.

You’re already shorter than most guys around you.
And sometimes that shit gets to you.

Standing next to taller friends.
Feeling overlooked.

Wondering if women will judge you before getting to know you.
So you start lifting.

You build muscle. You get stronger.
And you tell yourself…

“Once I get big enough, I’ll finally feel good about myself.”
But then you reach that goal.

And it STILL isn’t enough.
Now you need bigger arms.
A bigger chest.
Another 10 pounds.

Suddenly the physique you once DREAMED of having isn’t good enough anymore.

Because the problem was never JUST your physique.
It was believing you needed to look a certain way to feel worthy.

Here’s what I want you to start doing 👇🏻

1️⃣ Stop using bodyweight to measure your worth.

Being 160 doesn’t automatically make you more muscular or confident than being 145.

Track your waist, pictures, and strength instead of chasing a number.
2️⃣ Build your physique around YOUR proportions.

Prioritize areas like your side delts, lats, and upper chest.
Focus on creating shape instead of getting as heavy as possible.

3️⃣ Build confidence OUTSIDE the gym.

Keep promises to yourself.
Wear the clothes you’ve been overthinking.
Start conversations you’d normally avoid.
Do things that make you uncomfortable.

Confidence isn’t something you magically receive at a certain bodyweight.

It’s something you build through your actions.
Imagine standing next to taller guys without comparing yourself.

Wearing a fitted shirt without worrying if you look big enough.
Walking into a room without feeling like your height determines your value.

And improving your physique because you WANT to…
Not because you feel like you HAVE to in order to be enough.

💯 I’m 5’3, and I’ve learned that building muscle can change your body, but changing how you see yourself can change your LIFE.

🚨 STOP building your entire life around fitness.

Especially if every weekend feels like you’re one meal away from ruining all your progress.

You work hard all week.

You hit your workouts.
You track your calories.
You stay consistent.

But then Friday comes around…

And suddenly you’re stressing about going out to dinner, having a few drinks, or eating something that isn’t part of your usual routine.

That’s not discipline. That’s allowing fitness to control your life.

Here’s what you need to understand 👇🏻

✅ One meal won’t ruin your progress.

✅ One missed workout won’t erase months of hard work.

✅ Enjoying yourself doesn’t mean you’ve fallen off track.

The problem isn’t enjoying your weekend.

It’s turning one imperfect decision into an excuse to throw away the entire weekend.

Fitness should give you MORE confidence, freedom, and opportunities to enjoy your life.

Not make you afraid to live it.

Build a lifestyle you don’t constantly feel the need to escape from.

👑 The SHORT GUY BULK TRAP nobody warns you about…

You look in the mirror and feel like you’re not muscular enough.

So you decide to bulk.

“I just need another 10 pounds.”

You start eating more.
Your strength goes up.
Your weight goes up.
But once you reach your goal?

You STILL don’t look how you imagined.
So what do you do?

You decide you need ANOTHER 10 pounds.

And before you know it, you’ve gained 20 pounds, your stomach is noticeably bigger, and you’re wondering why you don’t look as muscular as you expected.

Here’s where you’re going wrong 👇🏻

1️⃣ You’re choosing a goal weight before knowing how your physique will respond.

There’s nothing wrong with having a target.

But don’t become so attached to that number that you ignore what’s happening to your body.

2️⃣ You’re ignoring your waist.

Especially on a shorter frame, changes in bodyweight can be noticeable.

If your waist is growing significantly faster than your shoulders, chest, and back, it’s worth reassessing your bulk.

3️⃣ You’re assuming MORE weight will fix your physique.
Sometimes the problem isn’t that you need to be heavier.

Maybe you need more muscle in specific areas.

Maybe you need a slower bulk.

Or maybe you need to lose some fat before continuing to gain.

HERE’S WHAT I RECOMMEND:

Every 5 pounds you gain, check:

✅ Your waist measurement
✅ Front, side, and back pictures
✅ Your strength progression
✅ Whether your physique is actually improving

Then decide whether continuing to gain makes sense.
Stop treating your goal weight like a finish line you HAVE to cross.

💯 Short guys don’t need bigger bulks. They need SMARTER bulks.

🚨 The most frustrating part isn’t that you’re not trying…

It’s that you’re putting in the work and STILL have no idea if what you’re doing is actually working.

You’re going to the gym.

Trying to eat healthier.

Following workouts you found online.

But every time you look in the mirror, you’re wondering…

“Why the fuck am I still not where I want to be?”

And eventually, you start questioning yourself.

Maybe you’re not disciplined enough.

Maybe your genetics suck.

Maybe you’re just too busy to get in shape anymore.

But what if the problem isn’t your effort?

What if you’ve just never had a plan built around YOU?

Just look at these guys. 👇

💪 Sanders wanted to turn his health around before turning 40. Not just look better, but feel better and take control of his future.

💪 Scott wanted more muscle definition but lacked the structure and direction to make his hard work count.

💪 Joey was ready to lock the fuck in. He just needed a plan built specifically for him to finally see what he was capable of.

💪 Mark was completely unsure what to do. But with the right structure and guidance, he dropped 25 lbs in just 12 weeks.

Different goals.

Different struggles.

Different starting points.

But they all stopped trying to find the PERFECT plan and started following the RIGHT plan for THEM.

Because the biggest cost of constantly second-guessing yourself isn’t just the lack of results.

It’s the months and years you waste feeling stuck.

Avoiding pictures.

Feeling uncomfortable in your clothes.

Wondering if you’ll ever become the guy you know you’re capable of being.

You don’t need another random workout or another Monday restart.

You need direction, structure, and a plan that actually fits YOUR life.

👑 Tired of putting in the work without seeing the results?
