Amigos prometem US$ 1 milhão se homem perdesse 30 quilos

Um jogador profissional de pôquer norte-americano estava com dívidas um tanto altas no banco e bem acima do seu peso normal. Por isso, os colegas jogadores dele resolveram colocar o homem à prova: se ele ficasse emagrecesse até ficar com menos de 10% de gordura corporal, em seis meses, ganharia um prêmio de US$ 1 milhão. A motivação não poderia ter sido melhor.

Após os seis meses, Walter Fisher, de 36 anos, perdeu 30 quilos e conseguiu bater a meta apostada. Segundo o próprio Walter, há cerca de oito meses, ele estava pesando 110 quilos e estava com uma dúvida de quase meio milhão de dólares proveniente de derrotas nos jogos.

My 600k bet... So this is me at my biggest, unhealthiest all time high as an adult. 242 lbs of fat Jewish Russian from NYC. December 22nd 2016. I was so unhealthy looking that when I was at a poker table I made a statement as I was eating a hot apple pie with ice cream that tomorrow I would be starting on my road to getting under 10 percent body fat within 6 months.Needless to say there were some skeptical gamblers that thought it was money in the bag. In there mind there's no way that I can possibly accomplish that feat.So we hammered out the details and I didn't even know my body fat percent yet but we decided Dexa scan would be the way we would measure and that I obviously wouldn't not be taking steroids or HGH , liposuction to get there or I would be disqualified. To keep me honest I agreed to random full panel blood testing as well. Once we got all the stipulations put down and locked the money in escrow the race was #fatrussianjewboy #racetoundertenpercent #600kbetonbodyfat #degenerategambling

Para tentar ajudar o colega, outros jogadores resolveram propor o desafio: menos de 10% de gordura corporal, em seis meses, para que Walter levasse um prêmio de US$ 600 mil. Com a entrada de outros apostadores, o prêmio foi elevado para US$ 1 milhão.

Walter não pensou duas vezes: contratou um personal trainer e passava horas dentro da academia, diariamente, além de ter mudado drasticamente a alimentação.

January 4th, 2017: I can't believe how hard all of these exercises were just completely winding me. Day 12 into the bet. No quitting, no crying, completely winded and out of shape but fuck it ! Pure determination to not be like this anymore. The more out of shape I felt the more desire I wanted to get into shape. #noquitting #beastmodecomingsoon #youhavetostartfromsomewhere #cantgetdownonyourseld #findyourinnerfire @premiermindandbody Let's Go #600gsontheline

Depois de cinco meses e meio, ele conseguiu diminuir o peso para 80 quilos, e levou a bolada. Mas Walter garante que o dinheiro não foi a única motivação. Ele queria ser um exemplo para os sobrinhos e sobrinhas.

"Eu queria estar próximo a eles e dar a eles o tio que eles pudessem admirar, não alguém que fosse uma bagunça. Dinheiro não deveria ser a motivação", declarou Fisher.

FORM, CONTROL, CONTRACTION , So I'm doing standing hammer dumbbell shoulder press on the left and seated dumbbell press with no back support on the right. Doing higher reps 20x at 5 sets a piece. Using 25 lb dumbbells. Sounds light but it burns like hell. You need to remember you have make sure your core is tight when doing these exercises or you going to hurt yourself. Start off your shoulder workout with these and you will see some great results. #beastmode #3adays #loveshoulderday #thechallenge @premiermindandbody not bad for a student of a master👊🏻

Sorry folks about the posting updates have been lagging , it's my fault. So the latest was that I was at 12.3 on my dexa scan 2 weeks which was the last one I got, I have till June 22nd to make it under 10 percent by dexa measure. It's really been challenging on the last few percent to burn so my focus has been to make sure my food is prepped and consumed properly and the training. (Weights and cardio) are done in correlation with my nutrition to maximize my results. I have leaned down more from the last dexa i believe. Regardless to go from the left version of me to the right has definitely made me even completely proud of my results. To win this bet on June 22nd will be obviously great but my health and mental focus that is gained through this transformation has been invaluable. Thank you for everyone in my corner for the support and words during my journey. I hope I have given people some inspiration to just work hard and know there is no reason you can't healthier. It's just matter of how bad you want it. #onelove #beastmode #scoobmode #June22ndunder10 #determination #itainteasybutitsworthit #dontgiveup @danbilzerian @billperkins @jeffgrosspoker @premiermindandbody @magicantonio one love 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
