Introduction
A reddit user, 2chengzz, recently posted about his weight-loss journey and requested some advice on whether he should continue his cutting routine. He went from 170.8 to 165 lbs in 5 weeks and has been consistently working out for two months.
Workout Routine and Progress
2chengzz has been working out for around two years, but only casually throughout. In the last two months, he started a PPL routine with a rest day on Thursday. He made some pretty good initial gains back then. But in the last 5 weeks, he decided to cut and has been making good progress.
Expert Advice on Building Muscle and Losing Weight
Some Reddit users gave their advice to 2chengzz. One said that instead of cutting, he should do a slow recomp and focus on building more mass before considering cutting. Another user recommended building patience, focusing on main lifts and adding weights to them.
Conclusion and Takeaways
2chengzz's weight-loss journey is a great example of how consistent working out combined with a carefully planned nutrition plan designed for weight loss can be effective for dropping pounds. The main lesson to be taken away from this is that losing weight may well be a necessary step towards a healthy lifestyle, but it should never come at the expense of building muscle mass.
Trying Things Out for Yourself
Everyone's bodies are different, and their fitness journey will be unique. If you want to see results similar to 2chengzz, the best approach is to be consistent with your workout routines, combine them with a good nutrition plan, and seek advice from experts when needed.
