Learn how one reddit user achieved a 35lb weight gain through regular gym sessions and 5-6 meals per day. Tips on the right diet, gym routine, and maintaining gains
Article by Madeleine Smith
Introduction
Dimzr is a 25-year-old man who weighed 135lbs and wanted to gain weight for more than just aesthetic reasons. In less than five months, he managed to add an impressive 35lbs to get to his new weight of 170lbs.
Diet
Dimzr admitted to eating 5 to 6 meals a day, with a particular focus on carbs and protein. He didn't follow a strict diet but instead focused on reaching his caloric intake goals, often described as 'eating all the time.'
Gym Routine
Dimzr didn't reveal his exact gym routine but shared that he found it essential to have specific goals when lifting weights. He worked on his leg days and gym sessions, focusing on progressive overload to maximize his gains.
Maintaining Gains
Dimzr's progress slowed after nine months, so he backed off his diet a bit but continued lifting weights. His body had adjusted to his lifting routine, so he concentrated on smarter lifting rather than just increasing weight to avoid plateauing in fitness.
Conclusion
Weight gain is a combination of a good diet and wholesome gym sessions. Dimzr provides an excellent blueprint for beginners looking to add some bulk to their frame. The focus should be on a disciplined workout and an adequate calorie surplus achieved through eating calorie-dense 'power foods.'
