Introduction

ShupUt is a 21-year-old male who took to Reddit to share his weight journey over the summer break. Having started at 129lbs in May, he gained 20lbs, reaching 148lbs in September.

Workout Routine

ShupUt's workout routine consisted of exercising every second day. He didn't follow the popular Monday, Wednesday, Friday workout schedule. He mentioned that he wasn't very strong and that his lifts weren't very high. He estimated that his max for the Squat and Deadlift was around 155lbs, Bench Press was 115lbs, and Military Press was 55lbs.

Dietary Choices

ShupUt's weight gain journey entailed a combination of workout and strict dietary choices. He ate a lot of oats mixed with yogurt or bananas, and overpriced protein powder that he considered tasty. He shared the recipe for his shake in response to a Reddit user's query. The oats were blended with the other ingredients to make the powder finer.

Before and After Comparison

ShupUt's before picture shows him at 129lbs looking quite skinny with a somewhat gaunt facial expression. In contrast, his after picture shows him looking noticeably more toned and muscular with a healthier glow. He also seems more confident in the after picture.

Conclusion

ShupUt's weight gain journey was an inspiring one. His story highlights the benefits of a healthy workout routine complemented by proper dietary choices. He set a goal, followed through with his plan, and reaped the rewards of his efforts. Anyone looking to gain weight can borrow a few things from ShupUt's success story and try things out for themselves.
