Julian looks athletic in the final pictures, like a distance runner or triathlete. As a distance runner I have a similar body type too.
At the gym you'll see a wide array of body types. Lean and mean, all the way up to muscular and bulky, and all things in-between. Body builders are HUGE compared to me and can lift far more than I can, but I can absolutely "destroy" them on a treadmill. You tend to discover the thing you like doing, specialize in it, and dominate it. What you choose to do partially dictates what you'll end up looking like.

yes I completely agree and understand what you mean because I know people who look athletic and don't only have incredible stamina but also unbelievable strength.
What I meant to say is that I don't want (and probably can't) look that athletic because I'm more of the bulky type (hate running, enjoy lifting weights). But I am sure many others do and many women and men find that attractive. I'm the last one to tell you how you should look and if you feel comfortable with how you look and feel that's awesome and you should stick to it. I just wanted to say that personally I did not find the end result appealing.

Thanks for the feedback.
I'm the first, and yes I'm a bit skinny but we have all shapes and sizes in the pipeline. Michael for example was certainly not skinny when he started.
More plans will be added over the next 10 days as people complete their challenges. We have a female too.

It would be amazing to see more than one plan for females. Also, will there be a provision for people who are sensitive to certain supplements? For example I am unable to take stimulants, even tea, so it would be nice for me to choose a regimen which I knew in advance was based around something else.

Is it even healthy to reduce body fat too much? Seems to me to have some buffer for hard times might be a good idea? Hard times could be some illness, for example - less worried about actual famine.
To be perfectly honest though I suppose this only appealing to men with the advertised body shape (naturally skinny) and Julian with 68.5 kg doesn't look very healthy or good to me but I'm not a woman and to each his own so please don't take this as a personal insult. I figure some critical feedback is better then none.
