Introduction
One person on Reddit documented their journey to gain 33 pounds of muscle over the course of a year. This article will highlight their progress and the workout routines they used to reach their goal.
The Starting Point
At the beginning of their journey, the Reddit user weighed in at 137 pounds and had little muscle mass. They started with hitting different machines at the gym six days a week, but soon realized they needed a clearer plan to reach their goals.
The Workout Routines
After a few months of experimentation, the Reddit user settled into a workout routine of chest/back, shoulders/arms, legs/core six days a week. They also incorporated squats and deadlifts into their routine, and even tried Arnold's Blueprint to Mass with great results.
The Results
After a year of hard work and dedication, the Reddit user gained 33 pounds of muscle and noticeably increased their chest, back, and shoulder size. They even achieved the coveted V shape they were after. However, they admit they could have made more progress had they started isolating their lats earlier.
Conclusion
This Reddit user's journey proves that with a clear workout plan and dedication, anyone can make significant progress towards their fitness goals. While not every routine works for every person, it's important to experiment and find what works best for you. Don't be afraid to try something new and see what you're capable of achieving.
