Introduction

Redditors participated in the BTFC 8 competition, and this article reports on the inspiring journey of a male winner who completed an impressive bulking process. It is amazing to see humans' capability to transform their bodies through disciplined workouts and proper diets.

A Bulk Unlike Anything Else

This redditor's transformation post gained a lot of positive feedback and admiration, especially for his bulk process. His thighs and arms increased by 3 inches, a noticeable transformation. His secret: a big 750 calorie protein shake every morning, 120-150g of protein per day, and a gym routine of 6-7 days a week.

Achievement Without Gear

One redditor asked if the inspiring winner used any gear in their transformation. Notably, the winner clearly stated that they didn't take any gear. He did, however, adopt an unconventional workout routine: for work sets, he would use a weight that he could only lift 8 times before taking a 15 breath break, then doing as many as he could before taking a 10 breath break and a final 5 breath break.

Macro and Routine Details

This inspiring winner did not strictly stick to macros. He simply had a general idea of what and how much protein he needed in a day. He ate oatmeal with granola, a couple of hard boiled eggs per day, followed by big protein shakes. For the first two months, he used his own program of chest, shoulders, triceps, back days, and legs and biceps. From the third month, he switched to PHAT. He added more volume to his routine, incorporating high intensity training and focusing on hypertrophy.

Conclusion

This inspiring male redditor proves that anything is possible with discipline, hard work, and determination. Fitness enthusiasts seeking transformation should note that they do not need expensive gear or strict macros to bulk up or achieve their goals. Simply commit to a routine and diet and adjust accordingly. Results will come. Be sure to try out what works for you!
