Motivated by Diagnosis

jhtb11's weight gain journey started with a diagnosis of diabetes. Instead of being discouraged by the news, he decided to channel his negative feelings into a positive direction and started working out to bulk up.

Consistency is Key

Through his journey, jhtb11 learned that consistency is key. He stuck to a consistent workout schedule, focused on compound exercises, and ate a calorie surplus diet. This helped him stay on track and achieve his weight gain goal.

Compound Exercises for Maximum Results

jhtb11 found that compound exercises such as squats, deadlifts, and bench presses were the most effective for building muscle. These exercises work multiple muscle groups at once, helping the body gain muscle mass more efficiently.

Tailored Nutrition

In addition to working out, jhtb11 made sure to eat a calorie surplus diet with sufficient protein intake. He discovered that everyone's body is different, and worked on tailoring his nutrition plan to his specific needs for maximum results.

Find What Works for You

jhtb11's journey reminds us that weight gain is not a one-size-fits-all solution. What works for one person may not work for another. Experiment, track progress, and find a plan that works for your body type and lifestyle.
