Part 3/11:
On the first day, Nathan weighed 156 pounds with 25% body fat—a typical starting point for many embarking on a fitness journey. His unfamiliarity with traditional gym equipment, like squat racks, immediately became apparent. The trainer, himself having undergone a body transformation, had to teach Nathan the basics of strength training from scratch. Early exercises revealed Nathan's discomfort and unfamiliarity with proper form, especially with beginner moves like squats and pull-ups.
Despite the initial struggles, there was a palpable sense of determination. Nathan expressed concern over his health, feeling physically off and insecure during assessments. Photos taken at the start showed a man eager but visibly uncomfortable, a feeling the trainer aimed to change by the end of the process.
