Hi, I’m Cohnan Kotarski — founder of Barbarian Physique.
I grew up overweight and insecure… but turned it around with discipline. I earned a college soccer scholarship, competed in bodybuilding shows, and ran marathons — now I coach high-performing men to do the same.
At Barbarian Physique, we help busy, career-driven men lose 30–50lbs, build muscle, and reclaim their energy and confidence — without giving up their favorite foods or spending hours in the gym.
This channel is for men who’ve lost their edge and want to become leaders again — in their body, mindset, and life.
You’ll get no-fluff videos on:
• Fat loss & muscle-building
• Meal plans & efficient training
• Mindset, routines & discipline
I’ve helped 1,000+ men get in the best shape of their lives. Now I’m sharing it with you.

260 lbs to 210 lbs.
50 lbs down.
XL/XXL shirts down to Large.
More energy.
More confidence.
More stamina.
And the best part is, Edgar didn’t do anything crazy.
He didn’t cut out every food he loved.
He didn’t spend 2 hours a day in the gym.
He didn’t wait for life to slow down.
He just kept showing up.
Day after day.
Meal after meal.
Workout after workout.
Check-in after check-in.
And now he feels like a completely different person.
This is what most busy men miss.
You don’t need the perfect diet.
You don’t need the perfect schedule.
You don’t need to be motivated every single day.
You need a simple plan you can actually stick to.
Because the men who lose 30 to 50 lbs and keep it off are not the ones who go hardcore for 2 weeks.
They’re the ones who keep checking off the boring boxes long enough for their body to change.
Edgar said it best:
“Just keep showing up and keep checking off the daily boxes … that really works.”
That’s the whole game.
And now he’s not just lighter on the scale.
He’s more confident.
He has more energy.
His clothes fit better.
He actually enjoys the gym.
And he’s becoming the man he always knew he could be.
Proud of you, Edgar.
This is what happens when you stop restarting every Monday and actually commit to the process.
If you’re a busy man with 30 to 50 lbs to lose and you’re tired of feeling uncomfortable in your own body, click the link in my bio and book a free fitness consultation.
Let’s build your plan.
Let’s get you consistent.
Let’s get your confidence back.
Comment EDGAR and I’ll send you the details.

Sometimes it is not about weight.
David was 148 lbs in March 2025.
Now he is 137 lbs in March 2026.
And now?
It is time to build 💪
This is what real progress looks like.
Not rushing.
Not starving.
Not chasing quick fixes.
Just staying consistent long enough to lose the fat, build better habits, and earn the right to grow from a better place.
A lot of people want to bulk before they have cleaned things up.
But when you take the time to get lean first, everything changes:
better insulin sensitivity
better muscle definition
better confidence
and a much better runway to build quality size
Proud of you David 👏

How Reagan Got Shredded Eating Pizza 🍕
Before joining, Reagan was stuck in a frustrating cycle, losing and gaining the same 10 pounds over four months.
Being somewhat lean already, he struggled to shed that last layer of body fat. He was skeptical about joining because I thought he’d have to give up his favorite foods and endure grueling workouts every day.
However, in reality, our program turned out to be incredibly flexible and effective for him.
He got to choose what he ate, even enjoying his favorites like cheeseburgers, pizza, and cookies in moderation.
The workouts are tailored towards his needs without the excessive cardio.
And he’s learned how to count calories efficiently, making it easy to still eat out at his favorite restaurants three times a week.
After just two months, he’s consistently lost about a pound per week.
His journey has been enjoyable and sustainable, allowing him to still indulge in his favorite treats like pizza, burgers, and ice cream.
Are you ready to break free from your fitness rut and achieve your goals without giving up your favorite foods like Reagan?

Same outfit. One year later. Completely different life.
Yvonne just went from 200 down to 185.
But the craziest part isn’t just the 15 pounds that she lost … it’s this 👇🏻
Her gut is almost completely gone.
She can see her collar bones.
She is happier.
Her clothes fit better.
And those same pants barely stay on.
That is what REAL progress looks like.
Not a detox.
Not a crash diet.
Not starving.
Not suffering.
Just consistent habits that finally started working.
This is why I always say fat loss is bigger than the scale.
When your body changes, your confidence changes.
And when your confidence changes, your whole life changes.
Proud of you, Yvonne 👏🏻
If you want to lose fat and finally feel good in your clothes again, comment READY and I will reach out.

Ivan dropped 26 lbs … from 234 to 208 …
And he did it while working a full-time job.
No giving up his favorite foods.
No spending hours in the gym.
No starting over every Monday.
Just a simple plan he could ACTUALLY stick to.
That’s what happens when a busy, career-driven man stops chasing extremes and starts following a system built for real life.
More energy.
More confidence.
Better discipline.
And a body that finally reflects the man he knows he can be.
This is EXACTLY what we help busy men do inside the Barbarian Squad.
Sustainable fat loss.
Time-efficient workouts.
Real accountability.
Real results.
Ivan is just getting started 👊

Maegan is proof that fat loss gets EASIER when you stop fighting the process.
She went from 193 to 167 in just a few months ... and the best part is she is still just getting started.
Here’s what actually changed 👇🏻
She did not force herself to live off bland meals.
She did not try to be perfect.
She learned how to make better food choices that actually fit her life.
Now, her body is craving more whole foods.
Fruit and veggies sound good to her.
Greasy fried food is not calling her name like it used to.
She even found a lower carb pizza that fits her macros and adds turkey pepperoni to make it work even better.
That is what real progress looks like.
Not just losing weight on the scale.
But becoming the type of person who actually wants to eat better.
When your habits change, your cravings change.
When your cravings change, fat loss stops feeling like a fight.
193 to 167.
A few months.
And she is nowhere near done yet.
Proud of you, Maegan 👏🏻

It's easier to not eat 100 calories than it is to try and burn it off at the gym.
