I've worked with Shawn and Team Savage for two and a half years now (with many more to come) for two simple reasons: trust and results. When I first came to Shawn, I had basically been just spinning my wheels, not really mixing up routines or focusing on macros. I just believed in going to failure and eating "clean" foods. Shawn is a mad scientist when it comes to designing programs and meal plans. He has gotten me lined out, and that's where the results speak for themselves. We have accomplished a lot in the past few years, and that's mainly due to the trust I have in him. I know when I get to the gym, I can just focus on the plan and shut my mind off, not worrying about coming up with a routine. There is enough stress in daily life, so not having to worry about exercises, tempos, sets, and reps is a huge plus. I trust that no matter what plan Shawn throws at me, there's a reason for it. Shawn, in terms of metaphors, gives you the most efficient or quickest route to climb a mountain. It's not going to be easy because it's still climbing a mountain. If you don't get results with Shawn, the only person to blame is the man or woman in the mirror.
