Introduction

Reddit user coachbrandonhale shared his natural fitness transformation journey from weighing 140lbs to 162lbs. No growth hormone or testosterone, just proper routine and nutrition.

Personal Body Mass Transformation

It is important to note that during his transformation, he gained 22lbs, not 12lbs as he had previously stated. He explains, "I'm just a meathead, I can't math." Nevertheless, it is impressive to see the noticeable changes in his body, particularly in his thighs which probably contains more muscles than some people's entire bodies due to the many squats and deadlift exercises he has done to achieve height of his muscle transformation. Users commented and praised the results, even comparing him to a "quad god."

Proper Nutrition and Routine

Coachbrandonhale shares that he has followed hundreds of routine as it usually varies on where he currently is in his fitness journey. At present, his focus is on his back, chest, and abs. He admits that his nutrition has been key to his transformation, particularly going through multiple phases of bulking and cutting.

Consistent Progression

One can perceive that Coachbrandonhale is consistent in his progress every year, from his starting age of 18 and throughout the nine years, leading to his current age of 28. As a testament to his dedication, he implemented his new year's resolution to follow through with his PPL routine six times a week, and this consistency yields results. He also shares his desire to continuously push himself to be fit and strong, to the point where he can still bench press 315 and deadlift 500+ at 80 years old!

Final Thoughts

Coachbrandonhale's natural fitness transformation serves as inspiration for those who are on their own fitness journeys, especially those who are not taking growth hormones, testosterone boosters, or similar substances. His story proves that with proper nutrition, routine, and consistency, anyone can achieve their fitness goals. So, get up and start building the best version of yourself.
