Before'n'After #104 Files – Ivan Simic

The intent of the Before'n'After Files is to give more insight into the training, nutrition and supplementation of our clients Before'n'After successes.

This time it's Ivan Simic's transformation who has almost become part of the inventory of the YPSI. After having started out as a Personaltraining Client he complete the YPSI Trainer A-Licence, did the Before'n'After Program and attended some YPSI Training Camps and ran through almost three Strength and Mass Holidays in a row – see here and here . He started at 92kg at 9% and eventually ended up at 110kg at 5%. During this time he focus on building size through strength and food. Training wise he made big improvements ending up at PRs of 241kg Back Squat, 160kg Close Grip Flat Benchpress, 140kg Incline Benchpress of 2 repetitions, Chinups with 40kg added weight and Dips with 60kg added weight.
