Conner White

My Fitness Journey

I was sitting next to one of my best friends after everyone was leaving the party. I finally realize that my life has no meaning, no purpose and am slowly gliding through life. I turned to my friend and said “You know what? I am done with this and am gonna start working out”. My name is Conner White and that is how it all started being a skinny kid with nothing to work for having no attention from anyone and always being the shadow of every social event. This eventually caused serious depression and was making me value myself so low to the point that I was questioning my existence. The possibilities seem limited being a 6 foot 18 year old sitting at 140 pounds at 17% body fat. I would say my somatotype is an ectomorph meaning that I have a lanky small frame and is hard to pack on muscle. I gave up everything; Ghosting my friends to the point where I lost most of them and for that I am sorry, but after seeing results it is hard to commit to life when all you want to do is change who you are. Training hard everyday and eating all day until you want to puke is just the half of it. The consistency to want something so bad and having the discipline to force yourself to workout, eat and miss social events is the true challenge. I will admit it was hard packing on 60 pounds and being 22% body fat in just a year, but now that I am cutting and sit around 165 pounds being 17% body fat. The best thing about this experience is it has motivated me to go further and push even more towards my goals regarding fitness. I want to motivate the next small lanky teen who feel out of order and all I can say is to keep pushing even when others say not to. Everyone was against me, everyone did not understand how I felt or feel to this day. My goal is to reach 10-12% body fat and as long as my muscles are proportionate and aesthetic the weight really does not matter, but it would be nice to be 160 pounds or above at that body fat %. I was not even telling people that I was training due to the fact that I was scared to fail and feel even more diminished. After almost 2 years I am extremely happy with my transformation and people have been noticing and leaving compliments which only motivates me more. The biggest mistake as a smaller kid was always comparing to others when everyone has different genetics and even with a more efficient work ethic you can only compare yourself to you and that is what always makes me happy, not seeing that skinny kid in the mirror. This story is the general opener and summary on what I have been doing and my next stories will be in more detail regarding my training program that I used such as diet, lifetsyle and more. Thank you for the support I hope my story will motivate others to mush themselves outside heir limits even if it means sacrificing everything to do so.
