Homotivation Ep. 16-PT. 1: From Burnout to Stronger, Leaner & Back to Himself w/ Chris DeAngelis

In Part 1 of Episode 16, Steven sits down with Chris DeAngelis — former client, current Stevendurance assistant coach, and longtime friend — to talk about what it really took to come back from burnout, weight gain, and feeling disconnected from his body.Chris opens up about gaining weight after COVID, struggling with energy and stamina on tour, and realizing that the things that used to work for him simply weren’t working anymore. Even with a background as a personal trainer, he needed structure, accountability, and a completely different approach to nutrition, training, recovery, and consistency.He shares how he went from 177 pounds to 140 during his transformation phase, then rebuilt to a stronger, more sustainable 155 pounds while maintaining the habits and results he created.They also get into the realities of staying fit while touring, hotel gyms, inconsistent schedules, nutrition on the road, and why knowing what to do isn’t always the same as being able to do it alone.This episode is a reminder that starting over doesn’t mean you failed. Sometimes you just need a different system — and someone in your corner.
