The Journey to Gaining 42 Pounds

Skepticalytb is a Reddit user who transformed his physique from being 130 lbs to 172 lbs within a short time frame of 7 months through a proper nutrition plan and training regime. Skepticalytb shared his transformation journey on Reddit, and it has since gone viral.

Proper Nutrition

Skepticalytb gained weight through a proper calorie surplus. He initially started at 3.5k calories and increased his intake as he went along. When he hit a plateau, he went up to 4/4.5k calories. When he reached around 160-165 pounds, he did a mini cut to fix his metabolism. He then increased his calorie intake again and hit 172 pounds. He encourages others who wish to gain weight to find ways to organize their meals throughout the day and push past their limits.

Dedication to Training

Skepticalytb worked out every day and dedicated himself to a well-planned training program. He mentioned on Reddit that he followed a specific training program and would be willing to share it in a DM.

The Power of Motivation

Skepticalytb mentioned that his motivation came from looking at pictures of himself when he was skinnier. He reminded himself why he started lifting in the first place and that helped him stay motivated to keep going.

Takeaway

Skepticalytb's journey shows that gaining weight requires dedication, consistent effort, proper nutrition and a well-planned training program. While it may be difficult to stay motivated, looking at progress pictures and reminding oneself why they started lifting in the first place can be a great source of inspiration. However, it is important to remember that everyone's body is different and what worked for Skepticalytb may not work for everyone. It's important to listen to your body, experiment with different approaches, and find what works best for you.
