Introduction

A Reddit user named Sunsetgodzilla shares their transformation journey to achieve their desired weight and muscle gains through cico and weight lifting. The user's progress has gained much applause on the platform, with over 1700 upvotes and several comments admiring the achieved transformation.

CICO

CICO, or calories in and calories out, is a principle widely used to achieve or maintain desired weight levels. Sunsetgodzilla started with a 1200 calorie limit but found themselves getting too hungry. They then opted for 1500 calories intake with success. While results may vary, it is advisable to find what works for you, monitor your macros, and adjust your calorie intake as needed.

Weight lifting

Sunsetgodzilla performed weight lifting regularly in their journey, recording gains and muscle definition. 6 days of training each week with varying muscle targets have been identified as the routine of choice. It's important to note that monitoring your form during exercises, increasing weights gradually, while also monitoring amplitude and effort will lead to the best results.

Recovery supplements

Recovery supplements can help after exercising, and pre-workout drinks may increase performance, as redditor TheTitanHyperion stated. Supplements like BCAA (Branch chain amino acids), glutamine, and protein formulas are commonly used to aid in recovery and subsequent muscle growth. If you decide to add supplements to your routine, remember to use them as directed and according to your body goals.

Conclusion

Sunsetgodzilla's journey serves as an inspiration to all who wish to transform their bodies through cico and weight lifting. However, it is essential to listen to your body, consult with medical professionals, and adjust intake and routines as needed. Use the shared tips as a guide and go crush your fitness goals!
