Lifestyle Changes

Irsic made changes to his lifestyle by reducing his portion size and avoiding unhealthy foods such as cookies and donuts. He incorporated cardio into his routine by running two miles before each workout and playing steady two to three times a week at the gym. Despite being a social drinker and frequently going out with his friends, he would still try to eat healthier during the week and prioritize gym time, while allowing himself to have some fun on the weekends.

Motivation

Irsic notes that motivation and time are prime factors for him. He sought inspiration from other people's progress and compared it with his own.
