The weight loss journey

Reddit user PullTabOffaSchlitz has shared his weight loss journey on the platform. In two years, he went from 220lbs to 180lbs, losing 40lbs in the process. He attributes his success to a consistent exercise and dietary routine.

The exercise routine

PullTabOffaSchlitz reveals that the core of his exercise routine is biking. He biked 20 miles almost every day for five days a week. And he added some pullups, pushups, dips for upper body development. He also did sit-ups and used a single 25lb dumbbell for targeted muscle exercises.

The diet routine

To lose weight, PullTabOffaSchlitz eliminated sugar over the first two weeks of his diet, then white flour. His current diet consists of whole foods and veggies. He starts his day with a veggie powder added to V-8. He claims that the veggie powder improves his overall health. He also takes turmeric supplements, which he believes reduces his joint inflammation and pain caused by tendonitis.

The muscle development routine

PullTabOffaSchlitz revealed that his focus was to develop his upper body muscles. He incorporated compound exercises such as pushups to failure for two to three sets, twice or thrice a week. He did not focus on lower body compound lifts like deadlifts or squats. He believes that such exercises helped him develop the muscles he required for his desired physique.

Conclusion

This weight loss journey proves that sustainable weight loss is achievable with proper consistency and lifestyle changes. The routine followed by PullTabOffaSchlitz, including biking, veggies, and simple upper body workouts, may work for many others as well. It's essential to note that the same routine may not work for everyone. As with any health or fitness routine, it's essential to experiment and find what works best for you.
