Zyzz Sequentia

I see that, under the influence of the Zyzz Project, personal trainers with 3-day vocational courses are also starting to appear. Their movements and styles clearly reveal the type of behavior that is commonly defined as a know-it-all jerk. This type is the most amusing, as this demographic is most prone to polluting forums with their newly acquired "knowledge" and getting off on using technical terms like catabolism, ATP production, or glucose breakdown as many times as possible. This all sounds great and really impressive, and from a distance, I might even believe they genuinely understand it. But knowing the present perfect doesn't make anyone an simultaneous interpreter. Bodybuilding is a complex process that needs to be built individually; what's written in books isn't necessarily transferable one-to-one to everyday workouts and applicable to all body types. Countless details must be considered, and the training plan developed accordingly, which later forms the big picture. While it may sometimes seem to go against what's written in books, it is still the most ideal and effective choice for the individual and their progress. Fitness level, physical condition, excess weight, load adjusted to life rhythm, shaping period, exercises, and set numbers are just a few things that can influence and fundamentally determine the creation of a training plan, and even then, it's almost certain that changes will be needed along the way. The 176-day Zyzz Project system was built taking these into account, and while I admit it may sometimes seem like a huge hack job is going on here, I reassure everyone that in the end, we will be the ones peeing in others' gardens, provided the results prove us right. If not, I promise I will be the first to say, "Sorry, guys, the system isn't flawed; I'm just an ass-stupid about bodybuilding."

Beginnings

Strange things are happening to me. I started writing a blog between workouts and after coming home from work. A year passed, and I found myself responsible for the daily lives of not 5, not 10, but 100 people. Many people rely on me, on the posts, and what's worse, they feel I am different, or perhaps better, than average. My writings are what they can trust, the person who gives them strength. Initially, just for the program, then imperceptibly, with the passage of time, for everyday life too. For example, after the post The Women's Revolution, I received a letter from a 34-year-old woman stating that, thanks to the post, she left her current relationship after five and a half years and thanked me for opening her eyes. This is a responsibility and a burden I never wanted to take on, but it seems to be an ancillary state from which there is no escape. I have a few people in my life whom I also respect, and I can count on one hand those I can look up to as role models. The problem is that these people are no different from those I meet every day in Deák Square, because everyone is just human, with weak moments, desperately passive periods, and periods incapable of creation. These people have accomplished something and become who they are, but we mostly only meet them when they step onto the stage, not when they are behind the scenes, contemplating life, exhausted by the struggles of everyday life, slumped over, lighting a cigarette, just hanging out in the backstage restroom.

I never wanted to meet these people because I knew they were just human too. Role models, credible individuals, spiritual guides, exceptional talents whom the broad masses evaluate based on their product and cling to the image created of them to the extreme. But reality is always different; unfortunately, it's not a poster on the wall, a 4-minute song on the radio, or text on a 17-inch screen. In the past few weeks, but especially since I started the Zyzz Project, I've heard from more than one source that I am not a credible person, because on what basis does someone preach about a healthy lifestyle who doesn't even follow their own system, and after all this, what the hell do I think I am? The problem isn't with these voices, because negative criticism fuels me, and I can dismiss these voices from exceptional heights. The problem starts with the 12 people who have turned around and transformed through the blog, who struggled, sacrificed, and achieved their goals, only to have people laugh in their faces once they succeeded, saying, "Okay, you lost weight, but look at the blog writer, the creator of the system; the same fate awaits you, because Lifetilt is not a lifestyle change but just a simple diet, only a temporary solution."

And that was the point when it hit me: no matter how many people achieve spectacular and lasting results with my method, the Lifetilt method will always be judged through me. No one will care that Petra maintains her weight even a year after her program ended and ran the Nike half marathon, or that Dani continued to lose weight after his program, or that the "Slims" haven't regained weight even six months later. I thought the masses transformed by Tilt mattered, but I realized this isn't the case, and this is the burden I'm talking about because it's no longer just about me, but also about the people I need to represent and the recognition of their successes. Currently, there is no more effective, healthier, and more successful diet than Lifetilt that also involves a lifestyle change. Only those who have successfully completed a program and experienced everything this program can offer a person understand this. However, Lifetilt has not rewritten the laws of physics and biology; that is, if you gorge yourself, you'll gain weight; if not, you won't. It's that damn simple.

It would be a shame to deny that in the last six months and the period preceding the Zyzz project, the healthiest thing I consumed was a Marlboro Light. I could sugarcoat this by saying it was due to the immense work involved in building Tilt, the difficult life, or that the power went out while I was watching porn, but I won't, because why would I? Who am I trying to fool? Myself, why? Others don't matter anyway. I've understood what this blog and all its consequences, and this whole community-building thing, entail, whether I wanted it or not. I've realized that I cannot represent an idea, a system, and thousands of people by adopting a "I don't give a damn" attitude, hiding behind a program, relying on the past, on the successes of the "Slims" and others, to build something for which I must lay the foundation, and whose walls must be held together by my credibility. Lifetilt is a great system, and to prove this, 13 months after my I was born program, I embarked on the 176 days of the Zyzz project. The program is already well underway, but I'm no longer doing it just for myself, because this is no longer just a program, another makeover show; it's much more than that, it's about us now...

"1 Week

For months, I'd been drafting an article titled "Head Against the Wall." Most people approach the first week with anger, which is one of the biggest mistakes, especially if one is taking up bodybuilding. Such a program can only end successfully if you simply sweep 80% of the people and activities in your current life out of it..." Zyzz Tertia
