WWE superstar Braun Strowman has gone through an amazing body transformation over the past few months

WWE superstar Braun Strowman has transformed his body completely in the past year or so to a point where he would almost be unrecognizable to many who would have last seen him some years back.

His body fat has significantly reduced and his muscle definition is now superb. As a result, ‘The Monster Among’ has become stronger and more agile.

But none of this comes easy. It’s not as simple as just giving up on junk food or going out for a run every morning. It takes months of dedicated time in the gym and big lifestyle changes.

And telling all about was the man himself. Strowman spoke to TMZ and revealed the secret behind his 45 lb weight loss.

“The biggest thing, and a lot of guys and girls would admit it, is mental. All this, man, 15% of the work I’ve done to transform myself has been in the gym and doing the cardio. The rest is mental and food preparation. It’s consistency. I never say it’s a diet. I’m never on a diet. It’s a lifestyle, so I have to totally change how I live, how I eat, how I sleep, when I get time to sleep.”

Strowman then went on to add how he manages his calorie intake and how planning his meals- what to eat and when to eat it- plays a role in keeping him physically sharp.

“And everything, you know, revolves around what my calorie intake in vs calorie intake out. How I maximize most of what I eat, so it’s really a process of playing with the different carbohydrates, different proteins, finding out what my body really likes; because everybody is different. Everybody’s body reacts differently and it’s such an awesome thing what the human body is capable of… your body is like a ball of clay. And you can build it and shape it in whatever you want to do, what ingredients you want to put into, how hard you want to massage that piece of clay.”

Strowman has been one of the biggest names on WWE RAW now despite a serious title run recently. But that changed in the past few weeks.

He was added to the title fight between Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania Backlash which took place this Sunday.

Strowman did not win but an impressive display of strength and power kept the fans on the edge of their seats. It remains to be seen what path his storyline takes now because a feud with Bobby Lashley or Drew McIntyre does not look likely.
