Starting Out at 162 Pounds

When MacroWilly first started out on his journey, he was a 20-year-old man standing at 6 feet tall and weighing in at 162 pounds. While he wasn't necessarily overweight, he knew that he wanted to make a change to his body that would allow him to bulk up and gain the muscle mass that he desired.

Bulking Up

In order to achieve his goals, MacroWilly went on a bulking phase that involved him consuming excess calories every day. While it was a difficult start for him, he felt himself gaining weight and saw gradual, but significant, muscle growth. He documented his progress on Reddit, where he received encouragement from other users who were either going through the same process or who had achieved their own weight goals.

Cutting Phase

After several months of bulking up and gaining muscle, MacroWilly began the process of cutting down on his body fat percentage. This phase involved him decreasing his caloric intake and incorporating more cardio into his workout routine. He realized that this phase was more difficult for him, as he had to be more conscious about the foods he was consuming and had to be more disciplined with his workouts.

Ups and Downs

Throughout his journey, MacroWilly experienced several ups and downs. There were times when he felt frustrated with his progress and wanted to give up. However, he kept pushing through and was able to achieve his desired body weight and muscle mass. He reminds others who may be going through a similar journey that it's important to stay motivated and focused, even when the going gets tough.

Conclusion

MacroWilly's journey serves as an inspiration for anyone who may be struggling to lose weight or gain muscle. He found success by being consistent with his eating habits and workout routine while also being patient with his progress. If you're struggling with weight loss or muscle gain, take a page from MacroWilly's book and try things out for yourself. With time and dedication, you too can achieve your desired body goals.
