Introduction
Rolltidecole, a 25-year-old male weighing 230 lbs, went through a body recomp journey over the course of 3 years. By incorporating weight lifting and dieting into his lifestyle, he managed to lose 14 lbs and improve his overall physique.
Weight-Lifting
Rolltidecole began his fitness journey by focusing on weight-lifting, specifically compound movements like squats, deadlifts, and bench presses. He dedicated himself to 4-6 gym sessions per week for two years. By doing this, he built up his strength and endurance, which was crucial in his body recomp journey.
Dieting
Along with weight-lifting, dieting was an important aspect of Rolltidecole's transformation. He followed a low-carb and high-protein diet, which helped him to lose weight and maintain his muscle mass. He also made sure to stay within his daily caloric limit.
Results
After three years of hard work and dedication, Rolltidecole was able to lose 14 lbs and drastically improve his physique. His muscles were more defined, and he had lost fat in his midsection.
Conclusion
Rolltidecole's journey is concrete evidence that going through a body recomp journey requires both weight-lifting and proper diet. It's a marathon, not a sprint, but after dedicated and consistent efforts, results are achievable. This is just one example to motivate everyone to try things out for themselves and see what improvements they can achieve.
