I get a lot of YouTube comments on my transformation video that start with “Can I look like you?”. Usually, though, the sentence doesn’t end there. It usually is more like this:
“Can I look like you …. IF …. I don’t follow the nutrition plan?”, or “Can I get results like yours …. IF … I don’t take the supplements?”.
Well, those questions are easy to answer. NO! I got some of the best 90 day results ever with P90X because I pushed myself to the extreme. Not only on the workouts but with extreme effort and detail on the nutrition, and extreme precision on the supplements. It’s silly to expect those kind of results without that same level of discipline and attention to detail. So if you are asking whether or not you can get the best results ever while slacking in areas of the plan, the answer is a definite NO!
However, there is also another question I must address. What if you DO stick to the diet as tightly as I did? What if you mimic my supplements? What if you never skip a workout and never have a cheat meal? Then, can you “look like me?”.
Well, that’s not an easy answer! It’s not a definite NO! But there are multiple factors at play into the equation.
- What is your body type? (ectomorph, endomorph, mesomorph, or a combination).
- What is your underlying muscle mass?
- What is your current body fat?
- How tall are you?
- How old are you?
- What is your base metabolism?
And that’s just for starters. So why do I bring this up? Because so many people seem to be pre-occupied with wanting to look like someone else instead of looking like the best version of THEMSELVES! I didn’t set out to look like someone else. I just set out to look like the best version of me! I wanted to get ripped, strong, and healthy. And that should be your goal too. I had people I tried to emulate (most specifically my coach, Josh Spencer). And we should emulate people who have success doing what we want to do. So if you’d like to follow in my footsteps and get awesome results, I’m here to support you all the way with everything I’ve got!
But let’s remember that God made each of us different and we should rejoice in what makes us special. Y’all may think I’ve got great pecs or shoulders, but I guarantee you no one asks if they can have hair like me! LOL!
The teamRIPPED Hall of Fame is full of people who look nothing like me! But they look AWESOME!! Maybe even better than me! Instead of comparing ourselves to each other, we all have the same goal — to be the best Wayne (or Paul, or Mike, or Chris) as we can be!
You be the best YOU that you can be! I guarantee you’ll look awesome! And you’ll LOVE the way you look and feel! Then you’ll have to start answering the same question from your friends and neighbors … “Can I look like you if…..?”
