Introduction

Despite injury setbacks and a dirty diet, one Reddit user's dedication to working out has paid off. Follow the journey of Chispy, a 24-year-old male, as he gains 35 pounds of weight.

Starting Point

In July 2012, Chispy weighed 145 lbs and didn't work out regularly. After four months of working out, he reached 165 lbs, but he stopped due to back injury caused by improper deadlift form.

Restarting and Progressing

In October 2013, Chispy resumed working out with the push-pull-leg routine. Ten months later, he weighed 180 lbs and significantly transformed his physique. Despite an unhealthy diet of 4-5 days of fast food every week, he managed to gain weight and muscle mass.

Diet and Future Goals

Chispy admits that his diet was dirty, but it helped him consume more calories. However, he plans to improve his eating habits as he prepares to go on a cut soon. He aims to eat clean and with discipline.

Conclusion

Chispy's story proves that hard work and consistency can result in significant physical changes. His workout routine and diet may not work for everyone, but his journey encourages people to try and discover what suits them best. Injury setbacks can happen, but they shouldn't be an excuse to stop working out completely. Chispy's future goal of cutting down and eating clean exemplifies how setbacks can motivate people to improve themselves further.
