Introduction
Reddit user Throwawaybuythedip has been on a 10-month fitness journey, and has been posting updates on his progress towards getting leaner and stronger. In this two-month post, he talks about progress on the strength side, but is somewhat disappointed about a lack of change to his body.
Strength Progress
Throwawaybuythedip has seen significant improvements in his body's performance levels since his last post. His bench press has gone from 70lbs to 100lbs, and his stamina for running has increased. Throwawaybuythedip has been following a good diet and is at a 200-500 calorie deficit per day. As he's skinny-fat, he was recommended to focus on weightlifting, which has helped in his journey.
Body Changes
Throwawaybuythedip has not observed discernible changes in his body over the past two months. He's trying to get leaner, and lose love handles, but hasn't seen great progress on that front. It's been suggested that he focus on a light-calorie surplus to build muscle, rather than a calorie deficit. Keeping his protein intake high and applying progressive overload can help him grow muscles while cutting fat.
Tips for Progress
Reddit has given many tips to Throwawaybuythedip. QueenRegent88 suggests staying in a slight calorie deficit, getting protein from various sources, lifting weights, and getting enough sleep. Ill_Maintenance5265 notes that throwing recomping, it can take 6-8 months to see any change, while FeedbackSavings4883 recommends eating at a light surplus to see growth over time. Remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint.
Conclusion
Throwawaybuythedip's two-month update showcases the positive impact that working out can have on his strength and stamina. While there may not be substantial physical changes yet, current advice from Reddit can help him stay on track on this weight journey. Remember, everyone's body is different; it takes time, focus, and patience to achieve visible progress.
