A reddit user, mralifekin, posted his 42-month transformation journey from being skinny-fat to a physique competitor. He shared his progress without using gear, a persistence that earned him both admiration and skepticism from other users who commented on his post.

From Skinny-fat to Physique Competitor

This transformation serves as a testament that with discipline, determination, and hard work, significant changes in one's physique can be achieved.

Achieving the Impossible

Some reddit users cast doubt on the legitimacy of mralifekin's transformation, questioning if he used performance-enhancing drugs or if his transformation is even possible. As mralifekin himself pointed out, mralifekin's response was rooted in persistent work and rigorous exercise. While genetics and natural limits are undoubtedly a factor, a body transformation like mralifekin's is doable.

The Ultimate Compliment

Despite these comments, mralifekin took the accusations as the ultimate compliment.
