Introduction

A Reddit user, eastcoastpapii, recently shared their impressive weight gain journey on the platform. Within six years, this individual gained 70 pounds and transformed their body from being scrawny to muscular. However, the post also generated some controversy concerning the use of performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs).

PED Usage

In a comment on the original post, eastcoastpapii stated that they did not achieve this transformation naturally and disclosed that they used PEDs in light to moderate dosages. The disclosure sparked a discussion about the importance of disclosing PED usage to prevent misleading others who may not be as informed.

The Journey

According to the Reddit user's post, they began their journey by consuming more calories than they burned and lifting weights three to four days a week. Over time, they intensified their workouts, increased their protein intake, and adjusted their diet to support their fitness goals.

Takeaways

While it's important to respect individual choices, people should be aware that prolonged use of PEDs carries a range of serious health risks. It's also essential to disclose PED usage to give the audience a clearer understanding of the individual's journey. While eastcoastpapii's transformation is impressive, it's important to remember that everyone's fitness journey is unique.

Conclusion

For those interested in starting a weight gain journey, the key is to develop a solid plan that takes into consideration individual needs and limitations. The journey requires dedication, patience, and a willingness to step outside of one's comfort zone. While a transformation like eastcoastpapii's may not be achievable for everyone, with hard work, time, and consistency, everyone has the potential to improve their fitness and transform their body.
