Introduction

Redditor 'b0btin' achieved an impressive feat of losing 50lbs over a span of 54 months by consistently following a regimen of exercising and eating right. In this article, we will delve into his journey, his routine, and the comments that show the support he received from the community.

The Journey

At the start of the journey, 'b0btin' dabbled in swimming and then started running slowly, consistently doing 20 minutes initially. Once he lost the first 10lbs, he pushed himself further by running every day for a summer, which resulted in losing most of the initial weight. But 'b0btin' was not satisfied with his body composition and started exploring 'the main' compound lifts and eventually kickboxing, which has taken over his training schedule for the past 2.5 years.

The Routine

'B0btin' follows a rigorous training schedule of 6 times a week, but he believes that it can be done in less. He tries to do some exercise every day, as it helps him with his fitness journey and through life in general. His routine consists of 40% Muay Thai, high-intensity padwork, sparring, bag work, 30% other cardio (faster/short runs, long runs, and interval sprints), and 30% resistance (compound weight training and bodyweights such as squats, deadlifts, pull-ups, etc.). He emphasizes that he is consistent on the food side of things as well.

The Comments

The Reddit community lauded 'b0btin's progress and commented on his transformation, support which he says has motivated him to keep going. One comment, in particular, captured his happy state accurately, 'You look like Scott Foley and a skinny Chris O'Donnell decided to have a baby and name it 'Hell yea, I'm jacked now'.'

Conclusion

The journey of 'b0btin' shows that a combination of exercising, eating right, and consistency can lead to great results. While his routine may not work for everyone, it is a testament to the power of exercise and how it can change a person's life. His journey is an inspiration for anyone looking to make a change in their lifestyle and see positive results.
