Introduction

Reddit user Willie-Ned-HTG, a 25-year-old male standing at 6 foot 4, shares his 12-month journey of losing 30 pounds.

Covid-19 struggles

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Willie-Ned-HTG experienced challenges in training as gyms were closed for a while. To combat this, he focused on maintaining his calorie intake and utilized home workouts for some time. However, he eventually found it challenging to do them regularly.

Body Fat Percentage

LeCrushinator, a fellow Reddit user commented on Willie-Ned-HTG's post, stating that he seems to be around 15-17% body fat, which is considered healthy. This indicates that Willie-Ned-HTG was losing fat and not muscle mass during his weight loss journey.

Gaining Muscle

Willie-Ned-HTG expressed his plan to go into a calorie surplus to focus on gaining muscle mass. He further discussed his struggles in committing to his leg workout, especially squats. However, he received advice from LeCrushinator to work on his legs and hit them harder to grow muscle quickly, especially as they require more work than his upper body.

Inspiration

Reddit user TheMagicMojo commented on the post, expressing how he thought he was fine like Willie-Ned-HTG used to be. This inspired him to take on the challenge of bettering himself. This serves as a great reminder that small changes can lead to significant results and motivate others to do the same.
