Team Scivation Testimonial—Kevin Corzatt

For as long as I can remember, sports have been a part of my life.  During high school I stayed very active by playing baseball, basketball and football.  It was during this time that my football coaches introduced me to weight lifting.  From the very beginning I was hooked!  Once I went off to college, I continued to lift weights, but slowly I began to workout less and less.  Before I knew it, the lack of exercise and cafeteria eating my weight had ballooned up to 225lbs.  I realized I needed to make some changes.

I began running at night with some friends and slowly started to make my way back into the weight room.  I made my own diet and workout program and was able to cut down to 175lbs; however, not knowing as much about nutrition as I thought I did, I ended up losing a lot of muscle in the process.  After college I continued to lift weights religiously, but my diet was never in check.  My weight would fluctuate up and down and my strength seemed to remain constant.  By the end of 2006, my weight was back up to 195lbs with a 37” waist.  I felt like I was in a rut.  Not wanting to pass the 200lb mark, I again knew that I needed to make some changes, but this time I was determined to make a lasting change. 

I remembered reading several articles online by Derek Charlebois.  His articles always seems to be well thought out and easy to understand.  I contacted Derek in January 2007 and asked if he could help put together a diet and training regime for me.   He set me up with a completely new diet than the one I had been doing and gave me a new workout routine to shock my body.  Within a few weeks, I began to see some decent re-composition of my bodyweight.  It was during this time that Team Scivation was launched.  I immediately signed up.  The weekly check-ins held me accountable and Derek’s continual feedback kept me progressing.  Whenever I had questions, Derek was quick to respond with his recommendations and suggestions.

It’s been over 2-1/2 years since that first program, and I have continued to consistently work with Derek and Team Scivation.  I have gone through several lean mass and cutting phases and been able to get to my all-time best condition of 168lbs with a 31” waist.  While I have a great sense of achievement knowing that I have come so far, I am nowhere close to being complacent.  I know with the continual help of Derek and Team Scivation, the sky’s the limit for my future results!
