This Reddit User's Inspiring Two Year Weight Loss Journey and Lessons Learned

How the journey started

The Reddit user, indonesianboi, shares how his journey started with a sedentary lifestyle, playing League of Legends all day long, causing him to gain weight and become lazy. He then took up running to lose weight, but he still wasn't satisfied with his body physique.

The importance of lifting heavy

Indonesianboi realized that running alone would not give him his desired body physique. After his initial weight loss through running, he started lifting seriously with a PPL and 4-days on, 1-day off program to gain mass. He implemented a hard bulk to build mass first, knowing that he would have to gain body fat again, even if it sucked.

The bulk and cut process

At the peak of his bulk, indonesianboi realized that his strong body was coupled with a chubby face and bloated body. He started a cut process while still following the same regime to reduce weight. Although he lost some strength gains in the process, he learned that it comes with the cut. He hopes to repeat the process and bulk up again next year.

Takeaways and lessons learned

Indonesianboi advises those on a similar journey to lift heavy, not just run or focus on cardio alone. He also recommends building mass first, even if it means gaining body fat again. Eating healthier and hitting the abs hard are also essential. Indonisianboi is currently still working on his abs and is happy with his results so far, having lost 20lbs over the course of two years.

Final thoughts

Indonesianboi's inspiring journey proves that with consistency, hard work, and a willingness to learn, anyone can lose weight and gain the physique they want. While his journey started with running, he found much better results in lifting heavy and gaining mass before cutting. His experience serves as a valuable lesson to anyone on a similar journey.
