Introduction

A Reddit user, named PurpleBootedBandit, has inspired many people with his incredible weight transformation journey from 197lbs to 210lbs in just 5 months. His astonishing stats of 315lbs bench, 405lbs squat, and 500lbs deadlift have turned heads on the internet. His journey surely deserves to be documented and celebrated, and we will do just that, providing you with details about his transformation.

The Journey

PurpleBootedBandit had a previous transformation from 285-180, and during his current transformation, he managed to focus on his chest muscle group and managed to hit it 3-4 times per week using cable flys. In addition, he realized that standing calf raises work better than seated ones. PurpleBootedBandit works out a lot, and every week he would alternate between having one leg and one back day and then having two leg days the next week. He also worked on his abdominal muscles every other day and calves the day he hit his abs, having 6 sets of both.

Workout Routine and Volume

PurpleBootedBandit works out 6 times a week, following a PPL (Push-Pull-Legs) variation routine. He does approximately 30-45 sets per session, depending on how he feels and what body part he is working on. PurpleBootedBandit slightly alters his volume every week, focusing on the body part that needs the most work. He pyramids his reps up and then down again, starting with a warm-up with the bar and ending up with high weights until he cannot push any further. He then moves on to his other exercises to finish off his routine.

Neglected Shoulders

PurpleBootedBandits confesses that he neglects his shoulders, but he hits his front deltoids a lot during his chest days and rear deltoids on his back days. He works on Medial deltoids once a week with lateral raises. For anyone starting, he advises that too much emphasis is placed on following specific workout routines. You have to figure out what works for you based on how your muscle feels when training.

Conclusion

PurpleBootedBandit is an inspiration for anyone who is trying to lose weight and become fit. He has worked through two intensive transformations and has made significant progress in both. His journey teaches us that hard work, dedication, and routine are key factors that can lead to achieving your desired weight and body shape. Try new things, consult a fitness professional if needed, and don't give up. The road to change might be bumpy, but the destination is worth it.
