The Reddit user was tired of being skinny and wanted to change that. He knew he needed to put on weight to build muscle, so he decided to start lifting weights. His motivation was simply to improve his body composition and feel better about himself.

Workout Routine

To gain muscle mass, he focused on compound exercises that work multiple muscle groups such as squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and pull-ups. He started with lighter weights to ensure proper form and gradually increased the weight as he got stronger. He also made sure to rest his muscles between workouts to allow for proper recovery.

Diet

To support his muscle growth, the Reddit user started eating more protein and increasing his overall calorie intake. He ate lean meats, eggs, nuts, and doubled his portion sizes. He also made sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. While he did indulge in some treats, he made sure to keep it in moderation to maintain a healthy diet.

Conclusion

In just two months, the Reddit user gained 5 pounds and saw solid progress in his muscle mass. His success story shows that with dedication, motivation, and the right combination of workout routine and diet, anyone can achieve their weight goals.
