Introduction

In a recent reddit post, a 15-year-old boy, who goes by the username 'NdukeD', shared his weight loss journey with the online community. He expressed the dilemma he faces in deciding whether to bulk up or get lean after dropping fully competitive swimming, where he used to train up to 26 hours a week.

Join the Debate

Numerous comments poured in advising him on what path to take next. User RUIN570 suggested that both paths can work and that he should bulk up first and then cut. Some suggested he hits his target weight of 200lbs and maintain it. The suggestions show that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to weight problems.

Know Your Genetics

The user mentioned that his father was a professional bodybuilder and that he has better genetics for bulking up. This was regarded as an advantage by many of the users. Genetics play a significant role in weight loss and gain. Knowing one's genetics can give an edge when it comes to making weight loss and fitness decisions.

Variety Is Key

It is essential to mix things up to prevent hitting a workout plateau. This can make one see little or no results. Variety can be achieved by doing different exercises and trying out a different diet. The body adapts quickly, so shaking things up can help one get back on track.

Conclusion

NdukeD's journey highlights the importance of being passionate and dedicated to one's weight loss journey. It is essential to try out different things to find what works best for one's body. It is essential to note that everyone's journey is different, so one should not give up when they encounter difficulties. Take a cue from NdukeD's journey and try out different things to find what fits best for you.
