I am Jack Martin, former twig and “skinny abs” kid. For me, lifting started because of injury, and has taught me a ton about healing. Left is late October 2021, before I touched a weight, after I broke my leg & foot. Right is October 1st, 2026, a little over a year after a shoulder subluxation & labrum tear- finally feeling healthy again. Most people who have met me since think I simply hit the genetic lottery and everything I eat turns to muscle- but what they didn’t see was what it took for me to make muscle out of everything that’s been thrown my way. Chances are they can do it too, chances are you can do it too, and that’s what I want everyone to know. If you want it, you’ll chase after it until people call you crazy. Then you’ll chase after it a little harder after getting called crazy, cause to me that’s a good thing. The before starts in October-November 2021, after I fractured my tibia and 3 bones in my foot. Heading into the winter, I just recovered by the book and ate healthy foods that i knew would give my body what it needs. I started to hit the weight room when I could, going off basic athlete training I knew from a calisthenics background with gymnastics. I did the basic SBD compound lifts with no real split, and no real diet. [NEXT SLIDE TW : BLOOD, SH] All good for this slide. In the turn of the new year, I decided to take the gym seriously and get a membership. Just wanting to get in a gym, I see nothing wrong with Planet Fitness. It gets you in the atmosphere and got me around a great group of friends to start out with. I started eating right, which personally has always been extremely important in my family so it was pretty easy to lock down on slop foods. Being injured made me want to become stronger, and being a 17 y/o boy made me want to “become a man” and be a tougher person. TW : BLOOD. My initial motivation to body build did come from a sense of lacking self-worth. If you’re ever considering any kind of self harm or suicidal tendencies- please seek help and emotional support immediately. I’ve dealt with many issues in setting high standards for myself, but looking back I know where it crosses the line. The most important thing l by @jackmarious_1

My 5 year natural transformation. I’ll say there are 3 pillars to this: Dedication, discipline, and consistency. You have to have a vision in your head impenetrable to setbacks, because they are inevitable. It’s not always about emotionally charged motivation, but persistently higher & higher standards for one’s self. Choosing pain over pleasure creates pleasure in the pain of discipline, giving an increasingly more beneficial reward compared to typical comfort. Behind the genetics, behind the lean muscle gained, and beyond the observable change - are many unseen hours deciding to eat and train until I’ve had to tell my body to keep up with my goals. There has been countless days where the only thing there was to look forward to was putting my body through physical torture in search of mental peace. Over the years, I have found enjoyment in being looked at differently - sometimes as if I’ve lost my mind - for creating a routine and dieting in a way that denies myself the immediate reward in order to pursue something greater than satisfying my flesh. Every day, I must deny myself and pick up my cross. If I can do it, so can you. by @jackmarious_1

Eating to gain lean weight isn’t rocket science… and it’s not impossible if you have “fast metabolism” Most guys just make a huge slop bowl & stuff themselves as much as they can in one sitting, then eat less in the rest of the day and don’t meet their macronutrient goals. Sometimes they skip breakfast and slam a huge lunch then only follow-up with dinner. Truth is your body will like you more if you wake up for a healthy breakfast, space out two small lunches, and finish off with a balanced dinner & nighttime meal. (I favorite greek yogurt bowls) You won’t get sluggish and bloated. You’ll keep the full feeling of you don’t skip meals. Your metabolism and blood sugar will thank you later. #gym #bodybuilding #physique #diet by @jackmarious_1
