The Advice

Lifting heavy weights was highly encouraged to achieve his desired results. One user warned him not to rely solely on bodyweight exercises if he wanted to build muscle.

Whether you choose to cut or bulk, remember that consistency is key, and the journey towards a healthier you is worth the effort.
