We recently wrapped up our 90 day muscle gain contest in the Renegade Inner Circle. All of these guys followed the Inner Circle workouts and used the Renegade Diet (some with the advanced modifications we have in the RIC for faster gains).

There were a lot of great submissions but we’ve gone through the after pics and narrowed it down to these guys.

Now it’s up to you vote for the grand prize winner who gets an ALL EXPENSES PAID beach vacation to Santa Monica, California where he’ll hang out and train [...]

I’ve been following The Renegade Diet for 6 weeks now. I’ve been training for around 8 years and the gains have been steady and minimal. My diet has obviously been the limiting factor. I lost 6kg of fat in 6 weeks (I’m sure body fat % has dropped and lean muscle mass increased but I wasn’t measuring it), but have had some great muscle/strength gains it would seem as well as fat loss.

I’ve gone from 76.5kg to 70.5kg in 6 weeks. I went from doing 20kg [...]

When I was playing Spring football my freshmen year I started having very bad rib pain.

After a few tests, I learned that my ribs had cracked from a spleen that had been enflamed with Leukemia cells.

Finding out I had cancer was the worst news of my life.

The first 6 months were hell and my body was showing it.  I had lost about 30 pounds and most of my muscle.  I just ate shit all day and was always to tired to workout. [...]

Ah, where to start?

I first started training, err, caring about my physical appearance back in 2008. I was 20, and a sophomore in college at the time.

I had always been the scrawny kid growing up, and used to be teased incessantly for it (even by my own family). So much so in fact that I actually felt proud when I weighed 206 lb.

Now, mind you this 206 lb. came from a consistent diet of popcorn chicken dipped in applesauce, Cheetos, cookies and [...]

As you can tell from the puka shell necklace pic(they were popular in 2003 right!?), I had a lot of obstacles to overcome.

At that point I had just been suspended from my first semester of college, felt like I had ruined my life, and on top of it was scrawny.

My mom bought me a Men’s Fitness thinking it would spark my interest since I was big time into sports and an athlete in high school. 

Luckily for me I read an article [...]

“The problem with being like everyone else is that everyone else sucks.” – Jason Ferruggia

This is the line that first drew me towards Jason and the Renegade way.

It was a few months after I had finished my career as a college athlete and, despite my efforts to train and workout on my own, I was finding myself on the path towards becoming the person I wanted to avoid: stressed out, unhappy, skinny, weak, and average.

Without a change, I would have ended up [...]

A few years ago I decided to stop training.

Completely.

This was a kind of experiment on my part.  Having a naturally curious mind I wanted to see what would happen.

What would happen if I stopped working out 5 days a week, doing bodybuilding routines, carrying food around in tupperware containers, worrying about the size of my biceps, and just gave up training/dieting altogether.

Now you have to realize how big a deal this was.  Before this I had been training and dieting religiously.

I started [...]
