Here’s an interesting story I came across today and thought you should check out. It’s a story about how to get fat.
A story about getting fat? I’m kidding, right?
I’m not kidding, let me explain…
The story in the video is about a guy named Drew Manning that was in phenomenal shape –6′-2″ and 193 pounds of muscle– and decided to completely let himself go until he reached 263.4 pounds and documented the entire process.
The idea for this ‘reverse transformation’ came from some of Drew’s personal training clients that always told him that he didn’t understand how hard it was to be fat (Drew has always been in great shape).
Purpose
“This is my story of how I plan on going from being obsessed with being fit, to fat in 6 months and how I plan on showing everyone how to get back to fit again in 6 more months.”Goal
“I hope to better gain an understanding of how hard it really is to be overweight. I know it’s only going to be for 6 months, but at least it’ll give me a small window of the physical and emotional issues that come with being overweight.”
At the end of the 6 month bulk up, Drew plans on doing a 180 and getting back to where he started — from fit 2 fat 2 fit — clever, right?
When I first heard of this project I thought it sounded a bit like a gimmick, but as the weeks and months have gone by you can tell this guy has had some painful emotional realizations that he didn’t expect.
You can follow the entire story on his blog here on his blog and watch the ‘retransformation’ back to being fit… that is if he can give up his Captain Crunch and Mountain Dew stash under his bed!
