He started the video by saying: “Let’s talk about how getting shredded ruined my life.”

But the obsession to become shredded led him to cut right down on food until his body fat reached sub-five per cent.

He explained: “It started to become this vicious cycle of burn more, eat less and every single crutch I was using to feel less hungry began to increase.”

And his social life was affected too, as he wasn’t sure what he could eat off a menu without knowing the nutrients.

Tristyn revealed: “I wouldn’t let myself go out and have a bite to eat with a friend or go out, because I didn’t know the calories in the food.”

Now, his focus is purely on bulking up and packing on the pounds.

In his recent social media posts he claimed he’s heavier than he’s ever been and feeling strong.

And the 20-year-old certainly has a physique that matches that mindset.
