Introduction

Today, anyone looking to transform their body through fitness programs and diet can easily find inspiration and motivation online. Reddit is one of the digital platforms filled with such stories, and one that caught our attention is Marps13’s remarkable weight loss journey. 19-year-old Marps13 has shared his journey from 185lbs to 150lbs, complete with his own exercise routines, dietary habits and illustrations of his success.

Marps13's Gym & Routine

Marps13 began his journey by going to the gym five times per week with the ultimate goal of losing body fat. In the first 2 months, he alternated between chest, leg, and back + other smaller muscle days and had cardio sessions every day. He learned that running on the treadmill and burning 200 calories wasn't a good idea, so he switched to the PHUL (Power Hypertrophy Upper Lower) routine and stuck to a strict, healthy diet. Marps13 added plenty of protein to his meal plan and followed his strict training regimen, including cardio every workout session with the aim of burning 400 calories.

Marps13's Body Transformation

Marps13 reached his goal of cutting fat and slimming down, but he began to think that he looked too scrawny. He wrote about his troubles with losing fat in his belly, legs and glutes, stating that his lower half carries all his fat. Marps13's upper body is more toned; he wanted a balanced look without looking bulky.

Educated Advice

In the comments section, many users asked Marps13 to keep going with his routine to gain more strength and keep cutting. They suggested that he continue to reduce his calorie intake or incorporate more cardio slowly until he reaches his desired body composition. Users also affirmed their support, offering suggestions and educating Marps13 on body metabolism, genetics, and body fat percentage.

Conclusion

Marps13's transformation journey is an inspiration to anyone looking to either lose weight, gain muscle or tone their body through diet and exercise programs. His experience illustrates that careful planning and recording of one's progress over time can help effect change. However, it's essential to remember that everyone is different, and you shouldn't compare your journey to Marps13's. Still, there is no harm in gleaning valuable information and tips from his experience to shape your own fitness regimen.
