Sidemen\u2019s Vikkstar reveals his one-year body and fitness transformation Vikram \u2018Vikkstar\u2019 Barn is one of the biggest YouTubers in the UK, having amassed over five million subscribers as a member of the Sidemen. Yet, he took his content on a different route in December and showed fans his body transformation over the last year. Vikkstar joined the Sidemen in 2013 and is one of the few of them that has stuck to regular gaming content since joining. While they originally started creating videos around the likes of Call of Duty and FIFA, much of the group has moved on to predominantly creating real-life content. As Vikk explains in the video, he had always been very skinny, even calling himself \u201cskin and bone\u201d when looking at older footage \u2013 and goes on to showcase his body transformation. At first speaking about how he used to be very light and not have much meat on him, Vikkstar points to a couple of things that gave him the inspiration to get into shape: a skiing injury and JJ \u2018KSI\u2019 Olatunji\u2019s fitness journey in preparing for his boxing matches. Explaining how he started the process at 55 kilograms (121 lbs), he then put on 10kg (22 lbs) in the first six months with a lot of calorie intake and weight training, before incorporating more cardio into his workouts. Now, Vikk says, he weighs in at approximately 60kg, having shaved off a lot of the fat that came with his weight gain and can finally lift his own body weight. He goes on to say \u201cI feel so much better. I sleep better, I feel like I\u2019m generally happier. It\u2019s that little endorphin rush and a new area to conquer for me and I\u2019m really enjoying the whole process. Vikkstar goes on to show some clips from the Sidemen movie trailer, in which he is noticeably smaller and describes himself as \u201cskinny fat\u201d \u2013 saying that he doesn\u2019t have much fat but what he does simply hangs off of his skin. He then shows what he would do in a typical workout, but advises viewers not to simply copy what he does, and instead figure out what works best for them. Finally, Vikk states that he would love people to watch this video and take inspiration from it by going on their own fitness journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
