Introduction

Theinvestor02, a 19-year-old male, documented his weight gain journey on Reddit. He went from 155lb to 190lb in several months through bulking. Despite facing challenges, he persisted in his goal of gaining muscle mass and attaining his ideal body weight.

How He Did It

Theinvestor02 did not reveal his calorie and macro ratio to Marsbars1991, who asked for the information in the comments section. However, he mentioned in a separate comment that he ate more than 3000 calories per day, had a high protein intake, and worked out five to six days per week. It is important to note that a caloric surplus is necessary to gain weight and build muscle mass.

Challenges Faced

Theinvestor02 shared some of the challenges he faced during his bulking journey. For example, he found it hard to consume enough calories every day, resulting in him feeling full and uncomfortable. Additionally, he faced scrutiny from others who questioned the changes in his physique.

Lessons Learned

Theinvestor02 learned several lessons from his bulking experience. Firstly, he learned the importance of dedication, persistence, and hard work to achieve his goals. Secondly, he learned that gaining muscle mass and weight is a journey that requires time and patience. Finally, he learned to ignore negative comments from others and focus on his own progress and achievements.

Conclusion

Theinvestor02's weight gain journey is a testament to the benefits of a consistent routine and a caloric surplus. It is, however, important to note that everyone's body is different, and what works for one person may not work for another. It is crucial to listen to your body, set attainable goals and seek professional advice when necessary.
