He also did cardio which mainly included running on a treadmill, usually in the morning.

When it comes to diet, he focused on eating clean, healthy, and nutritious diet. He didn’t particularly count all the macronutrients like carbohydrates, protein, and fat. Basically, he started consuming lots of lean chicken or fish, lots of vegetables. He stopped eating refined carbohydrates like bread. To manage stress and to maintain the quality of his workout sessions, he used to leave his phone in the locker before going to do a workout. He drinks alcohol and soda occasionally.
