Cautiously, Stefzz explains that he did play football in high school but his training then was not as focused and intense as his current routine.

Encouragement

Stefzz's progress teaches us that gains with little powerlifting experience is doable with dedication and a consistent workout routine, engaging our muscle memory to recall past exercises. It's important to note that while impressive, it should not discourage anyone starting in their weight loss journey, even if they have no prior experience or athletic background. The important thing is to stay on track, make small achievable goals and set milestones to keep you motivated.

Conclusion
