6 Pack Abs in 6 Months – True Story of Ultimate Fitness Transformation

It is often said that a job leaves you with no time for yourself. People have actually made their 9 to 6 job an excuse not to stay fit or eat healthy as they believe sitting all day makes them feel tired and lethargic. Top them with excuses like we are always running late in the morning and we mostly leave late from office and again we find a reason to miss our daily workout.

While this might be the story of almost 70% of the people working in the various organizations, but, there are still mighty 30% who give enough importance to their fitness as they give to their work. For them, staying fit and in their best shape has nothing to do with impressing others; instead, their focus is to be the best in every sphere of their life, whether it be work, home or fitness.

Motivating his peers with his utmost dedication to his work and fitness, 33 years old working professional, Amit Tandon paints a very inspiring picture for all those who think that their work doesn’t allow them to stay in good shape. He weighed 82.5 kg with 22% body fat. He worked really hard and got his weight down to 70.5 kg with an amazing 9% body fat. His true motivation is his ultimate belief in MuscleBlaze, the brand he successfully manages, and the way this brand has given a new dimension to the Indian Bodybuilding and Fitness Industry. He truly believes in the potential of MuscleBlaze that is helping millions across the country to fulfill their bodybuilding and fitness goals.

Let’s have a look at what Amit has to say about his inspiring transformation journey from being a guy next door to a hunk with six pack abs. 

You have finally achieved the great physique that many in the country just dream of getting into, what exactly motivated you to get into this rigorous fitness regimen? 
Leading India’s fastest growing sports nutrition brand comes with its own set of challenges. As a brand custodian, you are expected to be fighting fit and live up to the brand ethos in front of internal/external stakeholders (customers, trade partners, creative agencies).
So, I always felt the desire/pressure to have a lean mean physique but could never commit to it wholeheartedly. However, things began to change last year when we started working on Muscleblaze ATL campaign titled “Tum Nahi Samjhoge” which was all about sacrifices made by gym goers. This campaign provided the much-needed impetus/motivation to me and I took a resolution on Jan 1, 2017, to have well-defined 6 packs by the end of June’17.

What kind of eating habits and lifestyle you were following before you began your fitness journey?

 I primarily used to eat healthy stuff but do use to indulge in binge eating, occasional eating outs and consumption of alcohol in moderation at parties/get-togethers was common.

What was the exercise routine you followed to have this sculpted look?
We divided my exercise regime into 3 phases so that we can achieve the desired results without being too harsh on my body.

And, what kind of diet and supplementation you were following to support your workout?

Diet played an extremely pivotal role in my transformation journey. I was primarily on a high protein diet with progressively reducing carbs/increasing protein intake during the course of 100 days of transformation.

MuscleBlaze Supplements	Dosage
Muscleblaze Whey Gold – Rich Milk Chocolate – 100% Isolate	3 to 6 Scoops a day depending on protein requirement
Muscleblaze Whey Protien	3 Scoops a day only during initial 4 Weeks
MuscleBlaze BCAA Pro	Intra-Workout
MuscleBlaze Torque	Pre-Workout
MuscleBlaze Multivitamins	2 Tablets Daily
MuscleBlaze Fish Oil	2 Soft-gels Daily
MuscleBlaze Glutamine	2 Scoops daily
Healthkart Milk Thistle	2 Tablets Daily

(Detailed meal and supplementation plan followed by Amit Tandon is provided in a table at the end of the article for reference.)

What inspired you to take up this?

As I mentioned there was always a desire/need to be fighting fit, however, the major inspiration came while we were working on our biggest brand campaign “Tum Nahi Samjhoge”

Were there any roadblocks/difficulties in achieving the desired results?

Well, I think initial few days were tough especially when body took time to recover from a rigorous daily workout. Hence, I used to have sour muscles for the first couple of weeks. I was never into cardio so it took me some time to build cardio vascular strength.Then the last phase when I went off carbs completely and was on calorie deficit diet, I used to feel very low on energy for first few days but thankfully I persisted and was able to stay afloat.

Overall managing the rigorous fitness regime with work was slightly challenging due to lack of proper rest and work travels, however as they say where there is a will, there is a way. I am glad that I could just stick to my regime and yes there is no dearth of motivation when you work for a sports nutrition brand which came in handy to keep me going. I would also like to highlight the contribution of my trainer here who constantly pushed me and never let my shoulders drop during the entire transformation journey
