Introduction

One Reddit user's transformation journey from 200lbs to 240lbs in three years is inspiring. Despite criticism over using performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs), this 21-year-old achieved his dream. His progress has received 108 upvotes, and some Reddit users expressed concerns about his health. However, he disclosed that he regularly checks his blood work to ensure that his health is stable.

The Power of PEDs

The Reddit user admitted to using PEDs in his six cycles, including Test, Deca, Tren A, Tren E, Eq, Npp, and Superdrol. His honesty vindicates some arguments in the fitness industry that PED usage is ubiquitous. The result of using PEDs is obvious in his impressive progress. However, we do not endorse PED usage, especially for beginners or people under 21 years. It is best to develop a solid foundation of fitness before considering PEDs.

The Diet Plan

Achieving his dream physique was not only down to PEDs, but he also worked hard on his diet. He shared his meal plan, including breakfast, snacks, lunch, dinner, and his total daily diet. Constantly switching what he eats, he never exceeds his calorie limit, which ranges from 3,600 to 4,500 calories a day. One takeaway is the importance of being in a calorie surplus for muscle growth.

The Power of Trial and Error

It is crucial to experiment with regimes to see what works best for each person. The Reddit user tried different PEDs and exercises to find what worked for him. Although he has used PEDs, he still trained hard and experimented with different training styles to achieve his goals. Finding the best approach takes time, so don't be afraid to try something new.

Conclusion

It is vital to recognize the importance of hard work and patience in achieving fitness goals. As shown by the Reddit user, you cannot achieve your dream physique overnight. The power of nutrition, consistency, and pushing oneself to the limit is crucial. Although we do not endorse PED usage, this experience shows that progress requires hard work, and there are no shortcuts.
