Introduction

A Reddit user under the username adrenalina21 successfully went through a three-month body recomposition journey to lose his skinny-fat shape. He initially weighed 143lbs, and after three months, he lost 3lbs of fat using a combination of weightlifting and calorie deficit diet to gain muscle mass.

Fitness Regime

Adrenalina21 included compound lift workouts in his fitness regime, done three times a week, like deadlift, bench press, squat, and overhead press. He did not do any other cardio except walking. He maintained a calorie deficit of 15-20% per day and ate 0.8 to 0.9g protein per lb of body weight daily.

Lose Fat without Losing Muscle Mass

Adrenalina21's journey is a perfect example of losing body fat without sacrificing muscle mass. His primary concern was losing high body fat and low muscle mass rather than being overweight. By keeping his protein intake higher and maintaining a calorie deficit, he was able to gain more muscle mass while losing fat.

Adaptation of the Routine

Adrenalina21's routine is tailored to his fitness goals and body type. The ideal workout regimen and diet plan will depend on your specific body goal. It’s essential to work with a professional to find the best fit for your body type and fitness goals.

Final Thoughts

Adrenalina21’s body recomposition journey is an inspiring example of how commitment and determination can lead to excellent results. It is essential to remember that every fitness journey is different, and what works for one person may not work for another. Experiment with different workouts and diet plans to find the one that suits you best, and always prioritize your health and well-being.
