Introduction

Sirjoe21, an 18-year-old male has shared his incredible transformation journey on Reddit, which has left many people doubtful about its authenticity. Within 11 months, he gained 37 pounds of lean muscle mass, going from 120lbs to a shredded 157lbs. The post received around 50 upvotes and many comments, some of which were skeptical and some were commending his hard work.

Skepticism

Some of the comments expressed doubts over the authenticity of the transformation, insinuating the use of performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) to achieve such remarkable results in such a short period. Sirjoe21 denied the use of PEDs but did admit to having an advantage due to his high testosterone levels, age, and optimal diet plan and workout program.

Workout and Diet

The workout routine consisted of modified SS for the first six months to establish strength and some accessory exercises followed by 5/3/1 for a couple of months. After that, he switched to a modified 4 on 1 off 5/3/1 with bodybuilding accessories. His diet was 250-300 grams of protein a day, 60 grams of fat, and the rest carbs with a range of 3000-3500 grams of carbohydrates daily. Sirjoe21 claims to count his macros and calories to ensure a precise diet plan.

Conclusion

While it is tempting to dismiss Sirjoe21's transformation as unattainable, some people have achieved similar progress through a combination of discipline, dedication, and optimal diet and training programs. However, it is important to acknowledge that genetics, age, and testosterone levels may also play a significant role. Whether you are starting your transformation journey or want to improve your results, the key is to find optimal diet and training programs that suit your goals, needs, and limitations.

Takeaway

Sirjoe21's transformation journey offers a glimpse into what is possible with the right mindset and resources. While the authenticity of his progress may be debatable, it is important to focus on the lessons that we can learn from him. These include the importance of discipline, dedication, and optimal diet and training programs that suit our individual goals, needs, and limitations.
