Question for founder: do you get a better user response from highlighting your own progress pics, or Michael's?

I would imagine most people look more like Michael than you (I wouldn't even call you skinnyfat, just skinny) - do you get a better response from people who want to go from decent condition to ultra fit like your 'after' pics, or from overweight people who are looking to get un-fat?

Hi Carguy,

It is fair question. The simple answer is... I don't know. The site only launched today. We have a range of body types going through challenges but I was the first to finish the 12 weeks. Michael has also finished but we haven't got all his data into the site yet.

But I think you are right, there will be more people bigger than me who what to get in shape, than people my size. But we will just have to wait and see.

Thanks,

Julian.

I've always found it a little depressing how many strength / fitness programs want to take the skinny, flexible guy and turn him into the Hulk, instead of taking the fat, inflexible guy and turning him into ... something other than fat and inflexible.
