Client Story · Singapore<\/div>\n

Kumanan set a 10% target.
He nearly doubled it.<\/h1>\n

Kumanan is a 33 year old software engineer who came to ATP wanting to lose ten percent of his 84kg and change enough in the mirror to stand in front of a camera. In 15 weeks he lost 15kg, took his body fat from 27% to 13.6%, and got a great deal stronger doing it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n

The goal was a photoshoot<\/h2>\n

Kumanan set a clear target: lose ten percent of his 84kg body weight and change enough to earn a photoshoot at the end of it. He gave himself 15 weeks. A concrete number and a hard deadline, which is exactly the kind of goal that responds to structure.<\/p>\n

What tipped him into starting was watching a friend transform at ATP. A stretch of stress eating had pushed his weight up, and seeing what a structured programme did for someone he knew made the decision for him.<\/p>\n

\"Kumanan<\/figure>\n

He beat it, twice over<\/h2>\n

Ten percent of 84kg is a little over 8kg. Kumanan lost 15kg, from 84kg down to 69kg, and his body fat fell from 27% to 13.6%. The skinfold measurements told the same story from every site: his umbilical reading alone dropped from 44 to 13.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Weight:<\/b> 84kg → 69kg, 15kg lost<\/li>\n
  • Body fat:<\/b> 27% → 13.6%<\/li>\n
  • Skinfolds:<\/b> down sharply across suprailiac, pectoral, umbilical and oblique<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \"Kumanan<\/figure>\n

    Stronger everywhere<\/h2>\n

    The strength came with the leanness, not at the cost of it. His back squat went from 30kg to 90kg, he moved from a 13kg dumbbell bench to pressing 60kg on the bar, and he progressed from a 30kg Romanian deadlift to pulling 130kg on the trap bar. Chin-ups went from three reps to eight.<\/p>\n

    With the help of my coach and ATP, I got to know exactly where I was making mistakes in my nutrition and strength training. I was training on my own for the last eight years and I could not make progress. Now I have a clear path, what I did and what I am supposed to do.Kumanan, 33, software engineer<\/small><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    \"Kumanan<\/figure>\n

    Goal met, photoshoot done<\/h2>\n

    Kumanan hit the mark he set for himself and then some, and earned the shoot these photos come from. A ten percent goal that turned into nearly twice that, and a body he was ready to put in front of a camera.<\/p>\n

    \"Kumanan<\/figure>\n

    I feel super light. If you would like to transform your body, I highly recommend ATP for that.Kumanan<\/small><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
