He drank 15-20 diet cokes and would eat a Costco-size bag of Reese's EVERY DAY. David was depressed on the inside but pretended to be happy on the outside. He felt stuck. Deep down, he wanted to be healthy and happy, but for some reason, he couldn't get myself to change. David knew what he needed to do but couldn't get himself to do it. He wanted to change, but never could. Then, one day, EVERYTHING changed. Fast forward a few short years, and now David is participating in bodybuilding shows and feels like he can HAVE, BE and DO ANYTHING HE WANTS IN THIS WORLD. After going through his personal transformation, David found his calling is to help others who feel trapped and powerless just like he did. His mission is to show people it’s possible and provide them with a proven blueprint, which, when followed, will inevitably lead to results. Most people think having a 100+ lbs transformation is all about your body, but your mind is just as important if not more. Connect with David:https://linktr.ee/fit_drock
