Introduction

Reddit is not just for memes, trolls, and cat pictures anymore. A 33-year-old Reddit user with a username PVaLf gained 24lbs of muscle mass in 6 months, and he documented his journey on Reddit, inspiring others to adopt a healthier lifestyle. In this article, we are going to explain his routine, diet plan, and how he managed to gain so much muscle mass in just 6 months.

Diet Plan

PVaLf said his diet plan might not work for everyone, but it worked for him. He eats almost all day, from 6 am to 11 pm. He eats mostly vegetarian food and juices vegetables daily. He also does one to two smoothies with vegan protein daily. He was on whey for the first four months but then switched to a vegan protein powder. He mentioned that he eats snacks, i.e., granola bars or almonds, every few hours. His lunch and dinner usually consist of tofu, brown rice, nuts, and vegetables. Although he believes that his diet worked for him, he advises everyone to try different diet plans and stick to the one that works best for them.

Workout Routine

PVaLf kept his workout routine simple. He worked out at least five times a week and sometimes six. He mentioned that he completely cut out all cardio for the last six months. His workout routine consists of four different days: chest/tri-day, back/bicep day, shoulder day, and legs day. He focuses on compound exercises and isolating exercises. He keeps the number of exercises and overall reps per workout low to bulk up. He doesn't do any ab work except the pull-ups. He also advised everyone to try different workout routines and find the one that works best for them.

The Secret of His Success

One of the secrets of PVaLf's success was that he followed his routine and diet plans. He was consistent in his workouts and diet, never missing a day. He also pushed himself to work harder every day. He mentioned in his post that he was skinny before this transformation because of health issues. When he started his workout routine, he got a lot of weight back in the first month. Although he doesn't know the composition of the weight gain, he was thrilled with the results. Consistency and perseverance were the keys to his success.

Conclusion

PVaLf's story is inspiring, and his transformation showed that anyone can transform their body with persistence, dedication, and consistency.
