Dedication pays off

Shibbzy's before-and-after pictures on Reddit show that six months of dedication in the gym can result in a dramatic transformation. Going from 184lbs to 152lbs, Shibbzy finally found the motivation to stick to a regular exercise routine after years of starting and stopping. He attributes his success to his frustration over constant lockdowns, which made him realize the importance of taking control of his health and fitness.

A clean diet and workout routine

Shibbzy's diet consisted of basic yet nutritious meals focused on lean protein, vegetables, and carbohydrates with a low glycemic index. He also minimized starchy carbs and indulged in occasional cheat days. Shibbzy's workout routine focused on building muscle with weightlifting exercises, such as curls with the EZ bar and skull crushers for his arms, and military presses and heavy shrugs for his delts.

The importance of muscle memory

Shibbzy admits that most of the muscle he gained on his weight loss journey was from muscle memory. He had lifted heavy weights in the past, and his muscles were able to regain their previous size and strength quickly. Nonetheless, Shibbzy emphasized the importance of consistency for muscle building, encouraging readers to try dropsets and supersets to reach their goals.

Small improvements are still improvements

Shibbzy's progress showcases the power of small improvements. He advised readers to focus on their own pace and not stress over timeframes. Even walking for 20 minutes more a day is still progress. Take a notepad to the gym and log everything you do, advised Shibbzy. Even if it's just improving from your last workout, the routine will come easily.

Conclusion

Shibbzy's journey shows that dedication, healthy diet, and consistency pay off. His success can motivate others to achieve their fitness goals. Readers can try Shibbzy's workouts and follow his diet tips to see if they work or adjust them to suit their own preferences. Small steps can lead to big changes.
