The 42-year-old Swedish-born 96kg powerhouse shares his shredded secrets and reveals how it all started with shaving his hair…

Jimmy started his fitness journey when he left Sweden at 21 to work as a holiday rep for Thomson. He worked for both the Scandinavian and the UK divisions.

“Back in those days, there were no phone cameras, we drank just as much as the tourists and it was a wild life,” begins Jimmy. “I was quite skinny and nutrition was not a daily priority, so I started working out at a hotel gym. I only trained the disco muscles- biceps, triceps, chest and abs. I did that 3 times a week and saw results pretty quickly, despite the huge quantities of alcohol I was consuming on a daily basis. And well, the girls liked my muscles, so I kept going. I did my research and I soon understood the importance of also training back and legs. Before long training for me became much more serious. I was promoted to resort manager and I stopped the wild life. Then suddenly the company sent me to Venezuela, and there I met my wife Michelle at a massive beach party. But I had to wait a whole year before the first kiss. She wasn’t easy, that’s for sure.”

Now settled in Miami, Jimmy has amassed hundreds of thousands of followers worldwide and has shown particularly impressive gains this year.

“I have never really counted calories,” says Jimmy. “Instead, I maintained a strict diet consisting of lots of protein, whilst limiting my carbs and fats. This worked pretty well, but traditionally I always sat at around 12-15 percent body fat and even though my abs were visible, I kind of had a belly.”

Jimmy’s physique got a kick-start when Michelle (Lewin- now one of the world’s biggest fitness influencers) made a suggestion about his appearance…
