As you know we have a global following here on our channel, which means that we get requests

from people all around the world with what they want to see me specifically cover.

One of the most in demand topics at the moment is relating to an Indian Bollywood actor,

Aamir Khan, and more importantly, the transformation that he made to play a role in his 2016 movie

Dangal.

Now, here's the thing: I actually don't know Aamir Khan.

I didn't know of him before this video.

However, I can break down a transformation and give you guys the relevant points and

the things that you need to focus on so that you don’t get distracted by what's actually

going on.

In Aamir's case I think there's something very, very valuable to learn because a lot

of people are getting inspired by what has happened here, and maybe so much so that they're

losing focus on what you really need to be doing.

Now, here's the idea: if we go here to the transformation, the first thing you're going

to have to understand is that this is not the first transformation that Aamir has made.

As a matter of fact, in 2008 he went the opposite way.

He went from skinny to jacked.

Okay, now fast forward a little bit.

In his 2014/2015 time, prior to this recent movie, this is what he walked around at, okay?

150lbs.

he's not a tall guy.

He's only about 5'4", or 5'5".

So this is what he walked around with.

I think we all would agree that he's in pretty good shape.

Now, what did he do for this movie?

In this same movie he made a rapid weight gain, and then a rapid weight loss.

Meaning, he lost all of this that he gained in five months.

That's rapid when you consider how much he had to do.

He started here, he gained 64lbs to 214 – he actually started where he was in the last

picture.

He gained 64lbs to hit 214lbs and a 38% body fat, over here.

To play the old man.

To play the later role in the movie.

Then he went the opposite way, and this is what everybody is infatuated with – and

rightly so because this is pretty damned incredible.

He lost 55lbs within five months to reach 159 with a 9% body fat.

He lost 30% body fat to go from there to here.

Now, before you start getting discouraged by the fact that you can't make the same transformation

in five months, here's the two things you really need to take into consideration.

Number one: Aamir Khan was in shape before, okay?

He had the discipline and the work ethic instilled already, to be able to get his ass to the

gym, to follow a proper nutrition plan, to do the work he needed to do to stay this way

all the time.

The fact is, if you are already overweight you don’t have that and you're struggling

to find that.

As a matter of fact, he said the hardest part of this transformation here was this, because

it had to take him away from all his ingrained habits of actually following proper nutrition

and getting his ass to the gym.

So this was the hard part.

For a lot of us it's the exact opposite.

This is the easy part.

We walk around this way because it's easy to walk around that way.

We indulge in the foods we know we probably shouldn't.

We indulge in the drinks we probably know we shouldn't.

We get to the gym less than we know we should.

That wasn't the case here.

So now, secondly, when you go from this transformation now, now he's coming back to his normal self.

Again, with all the discipline.

This is a well-choreographed transformation.

This was planned, plotted, just like the movie itself to start at a specific spot, get himself

extremely heavy, and then work his way back down to this knowing where he needed to finish

out.

So there's one big, relevant thing you should be taking from this.

A plan helps.

A plan will always help you to stay focused on what you need to do, and having a little

bit of incentive – if he never got back to this, this movie ain't being made, you

guys.

So the fact is, having a little bit of incentive, build it in yourselves to whatever it is you're

doing.

Don’t just say "This is what I'm going to do for New Year's; a resolution is around

the corner."

Actually put some kind of repercussion on the fact that you may not get there.

Raise the stakes.

Whatever it is that – become accountable.

Tell as many people as you can that you're going to make your transformation so that

they're actually keeping track of your progress and keeping you on track.

That's one big thing.

The other thing you want to make a key note here, is that metabolically you're a much

different person.

If you're walking around heavy for five years, six years, ten years, 20 years; metabolically

you have a much higher insulin resistance than you do if you're a fit guy who's artificially

added a lot of weight quickly.

You're insulin resistance, your ability to be insulin sensitive is much higher when you're

carrying around much more muscle mass and are fairly lean, like he was back here.

So it's a lot easier for him to make this transformation and come down in a five month

period because he's not dealing with the same problems that you would have metabolically

if you were fat for a longer period of time, and this is what you were like for the last

20 years.

So I'm not discrediting what's happening here.

This is amazing!

I mean, the fact that he's done this, he's become a master of being able to manipulate

his own body in a short period of time, and for a role, which is why this guy is probably

known as the "Tom Hanks of Bollywood".

Which is what they seem to call him.

This is why.

He's willing to do things that other actors probably won't.

That's to his credit, but I just don’t want you to become discouraged by the fact that

you're saying "Well, I look like this now, and I've got to look like this in five months."

Don’t expect it.

Expect progress.

Progress is great and you're going to make a lot of progress.

Especially, guys, I've got programs at ATHLEANX.com that will give you progress if you follow

them.

Guess why?

Because they're a plan and they're laying everything out for you step by step.

Workouts and meals.

Everything is laid out for you because it's a plan, and it keeps you on track, and it

keeps you focused.

But, thinking that you're going to make this transformation will be disheartening if after

two months you're not well on your way, but if you're seeing progress already then keep

going because I'm going to tell you this: this isn't all that far apart.

You can do this.

It's going to take longer than five months, but it's not going to take five years, all

right?

So get started, get focused, start making your transformation by getting your ass in

the gym today and start watching what you're eating today, and you'll be well on your way.

All right, guys.

I hope this helped out.

Again, I hope this is a good response to all those that have been asking for me to comment

on this, and I hope as always, it's a good dose of no-bullshit reality about how I feel

that this is actually – what the impact should be on you.

All right, guys.

I'll be back here again soon.

In the meantime, like I said, we have plenty of our programs that will help you to stay

on track and get your results.

They're over at ATHLEANX.com.

Whatever else you want to see – global, wherever you are in the world, I love the

fact that you're watching our channel.

All right, guys.

See you!
