Biography

A Series of Traumas

Marc Lobliner grew up as an overweight child, and was often bullied by his schoolmates. On top of this, he had to face a tragedy early on in his life; witnessing his father die from a brain aneurysm.

“I recall coming home from football practice one day as a senior in high school to find my apartment filled with paramedics. My father had a stroke. This was not the first. It was on a business trip to Arizona when he had his first stroke. I cried for hours. I witnessed his demise and it was all because he didn’t take care of himself.”

Needless to say, these events severely affected Marc’s life.  However, he didn’t let them break him – instead, he found an escape from reality in football, a sport he loved to play. During high school, Marc became one of the best football players in his team.

Football and College

At the age of 14, Marc started going to the gym; aiming to improve his football skills even further. He greatly improved his fitness over the years, and, as a result – he was presented with an opportunity to attend California Lutheran University.

Marc joined the University, but not long after, he dropped out; deciding it was not something he wanted to pursue. He later earned a degree from another university, located in Columbus.

Transition to Fitness and Business

Nutrition

Macronutrient Balance

Marc’s diet revolves around a high fat and protein intake; consuming carbs exclusively from complex sources such as potatoes and oats.

However, when he wants to stay lean or lose fat, he’ll decrease his fat intake, so his overall macronutrient ratio will look like this; 300-500g protein, 800-1k grams of carbs, and 20-60 grams of fats.

Regardless of whether he’s cutting or bulking, Marc will always consume a lot of vegetables, and sometimes fruits. He says those are rich in fiber and various micronutrients.

Healthy Fats

Marc usually consumes around 3-4 grams of DHA/EPA Omega-3 fatty acids a day. He gets this amount from fish, and omega-3 enriched eggs.

Marc believes good fats, such as monosaturated and polyunsaturated, are essential for heart, muscle, and brain health, and should not be avoided.

“The best day of the week is Monday, because that’s the day you know that all of the work you put into your body and your business puts you two days ahead of your competition who took the weekend off. Monday is not the beginning of the work week, it is the continuation of your daily quest for dominance.”
