Introduction

Building muscles isn't easy, but it starts with a decision to commit to the process. It's good to learn from others who have gone through the process like the Reddit user, bux967. He documented his journey and shared his progress with other users on the platform.

The Starting Point

Bux967 started at 5'6 and weighed 152 pounds. He was looking to put on muscle and asked if he should keep bulking. Users suggested that he use winter to build a good muscle base, and then cut later.

Consistent Lifting for Beginners

One user suggested that beginners like bux967 haven't tapped out on their noob gains, so it's best to cut and lift consistently. Bux967 planned on keeping his eating and drinking habits the same and increasing his exercise. Consistency is the key to building muscles for any beginner.

Change Your Lifestyle for Muscle Gains

Bux967 also shared that he has been lethargic while trying to put on weight. This is common among beginners who mainly focus on eating and forget to exercise. Building muscles requires a lifestyle change that involves healthy eating, regular exercise, and enough sleep.

Conclusion

Building muscles takes time, effort, and commitment. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced lifter, it's always useful to learn from other people's experiences. Follow bux967's journey and try things out for yourself. And remember, consistency is key to reach your muscle goals.
