Introduction
Transforming one's body takes time and effort, and this 16-year-old reddit user has proven just that. With a 2-year weight journey, Alexk218 documented his progress from a 140lb skinnyfat teenager to a more muscular and fitter 160lb individual. Let's dive into how he achieved this.
Consistent Exercise Routine
Alexk218 followed a PPLPPLx exercise routine with high volume to achieve his progress. According to him, this routine worked best for him, but individuals may have different preferences. Consistency with the chosen exercise routine is key to improving strength and building muscle mass.
Clean Eating Habits
Although Alexk218 did not count calories, he focused on eating clean and maintained a surplus of calories to aid muscle growth. Eating clean means avoiding processed food and eating more whole foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. It's essential to fuel the body with proper nutrition for muscle growth and overall health.
Puberty and Bone Growth
Apart from exercise and nutrition, puberty and bone growth played a role in Alexk218's transformation. He mentioned growing about 4 inches between pictures, and a lot of weight could be due to bone structure. Additionally, taking advantage of puberty likely contributed in ways that can't be quantified.
Conclusion
Alexk218's dedication and hard work in consistently following a workout routine and clean eating habits paid off with an impressive transformation. Body transformation is possible with commitment and patience. If you're looking to achieve a similar goal, consider creating a workout schedule and eating well-balanced meals. Keep in mind that everyone's body is different, and what may work for one person may not work for another.
