Tried doing this with a couple buddies. They stick to the plan (loosely) for about 2 weeks then quit. Until it is ingrained inside of them, no progress can be made.

Its all about that moment when you realize that you are really looking forward to the gym for the first time.

If you can break through you can no longer imagine a world where you are a regular person.

It does not matter if its MMA, lifting, cardio ..... anything physical. Eventually you break through to the other side and start loving the process of forcing your body to be better than just a regular person.
Eat in a deficit to lose weight.
Hit your protein and fat minimums to stay healthy and keep your gainz.
Lift heavy and do HIIT to look and feel awesome.
Use the internet to learn why you should do these things and how to do these things.

I want him to succeed so he can enjoy his 20’s and meet sloots

Problem is he lifts like a pussy he’s never sweating and there is zero intensity.Skinny fat

Is he even worth trying to save?
I keep telling him to push harder and to stop doing an hour of cardio and to just fast and do 20 min of high intensity. And focus on heavy compound lifts

He never listens and does the same chit
It never even began for this dude. It's hard as fuk to teach someone they need to actually try hard and be aggressive/intense with things like sports/lifting. You need to find a way to light a fire under his ass

OP promised someone a spoon pic a while back and has yet to deliver. I personally assume that everyone is a fraud until they prove themselves otherwise.

To be honest, most of the zoomer population have zero experience or knowledge of the fitness industry outside of these ****g0t youtubers and tik tokers who spew false information and sell them non-functioning products.

These guys could use a proper mentor who will teach them how to properly lift.

teach him to start an ecommerce business and invest in crypto. Who gives a fukk about chasing vapid sloots. That's not going to make him happy. In fact it'll leave him emptier on a hypersexual roller coaster.

Just help build confidence through getting in shape - physically, mentally and financially. Then his life will improve and things will fall into place. Whether that includes women or not.

The most authentic and genuine people will help others even if they surpass the teacher. And be happy for them. Most will just try and knock people down or get them on the same miserable timeline as them.
