Introduction

'Slow and steady wins the race' could be the motto of j_mauer, a Reddit user who shared his progress photos and journey from 200 to 185 pounds over 5 months. Despite criticisms, he persevered with his routine.

Workout Routine

J_mauer works out five days a week, with a routine that focuses on different muscle groups per day: Sunday - Legs, Shoulders, and Traps Monday - Back and Biceps Tuesday - Chest and Tricep Wednesday to Friday - Repeat above but with a heavier weight and fewer reps.

Slow But Steady Progress

J_mauer considered his progress slow, but still progress. He attributed this to his improper diet, which he later fixed. However, his workout routine helped him build muscle and strength. He also shared that he had not yet maxed out, but intended to.

Listen to Your Body

J_mauer also had an injury scare due to lifting heavy weights, which made him lower the weights and start with lighter weights instead. This experience emphasized the importance of listening to one's body and being cautious with workouts.

Take Inspiration and Try It Out Yourself

J_mauer's journey showed that slow progress is still progress, and it's important to have patience, make changes when necessary, and listen to one's body. If you're starting a weight loss or bodybuilding journey, take inspiration from j_mauer, but always remember to personalize your routine and listen to your body as well.
