5 Year Weight Training Journey: From 130Lbs to 191Lbs

Bored of Being the Skinny Guy

The reddit user, WankMeOff, began his five-year weight training journey at the age of 23, primarily motivated by being bored of being the 'skinny guy'. His post has received 268 upvotes and encouraging comments from users, admiring his progress and asking for tips and his workout routine.

Transformation with Consistency and Dedication

WankMeOff's journey is a testament to what consistent hard work and dedication can do for you. Even though he took breaks due to travel and injury, those did not deter him from getting back on track. As he stated on his post, 'where I am now is the happiest I have ever been.'

No Quick Fixes

WankMeOff's transformation is noteworthy because it debunked the myth of quick fixes with unnatural substances. He credits his progress to knowledge and dedication, accepting that people's bodies react differently to exercises and that his journey took longer due to his lifestyle and body type. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to bodybuilding; the best approach is to develop a routine that works for you and stick to it.

Routine and Diet

WankMeOff posted his routine and clean bulk diet in his reddit thread. He changes his routine every six weeks to keep his body guessing, but the focus is on perfect technique and performing reps properly. Being a hard gainer, his diet is around 80% of getting big. While dirty bulking worked to his advantage initially, he ensures to clean up once he gains muscle. However, he never apologizes for the metric system; he lives in the UK!

Inspiration for Weight Training Journey

WankMeOff is an inspiration for those looking to start a weight training journey. His progress is the result of consistent hard work, dedication, and discipline to perfect technique and nourishing his body with the right nutrition. There are no quick fixes to bodybuilding. Any progress takes time, and every goal requires patience and discipline. So try things out for yourself, and find a routine that works best for you.
