“Is @AJA_Cortes the most influential man in modern health and fitness or the second most?”

Mike Cernovich

“Thanks to you, I lost 50 pounds in 6 months, from 245 to 195 pounds. Still working as hard as I can to unfat myself and gain muscle. Thanks so much again for all the help you’ve been. I know I haven’t hit you up before so you wouldn’t know, but you are my go-to source for all things health related at this point.”

James Bianco

“When I discovered you I was a skinny distance runner. Through your programming and email list I learned how to build muscle in and out of the gym (through nutrition), stay injury free while doing it, and enhance my overall well-being.”

Kaleb Firkins

“I had been obese for almost 20 years. After buying Alexander’s program, I looked it over and decided to start doing basic lifting. This program blew me away and I’ve kept it going ever since.”

Jeff

“I’ve trained hard with the 5x5 program in the past, got stronger but never really looked like I lifted. Then switched to the Achilles program and began doing 16:8 intermittent fasting in October. And look!”

S. Chen

“Amazing, I can see the difference in how chicks look at me since March.”
