One User's Weight Journey: a 17 Year Old's Experience

Introduction

At 17 years and a height of 5'10", Reddit user bulkorcutthrowaway1 (BoC) weighed 155 lbs. He took to the subreddit /r/BulkorCut to share his journey with the world.

Background

BoC recounts that he has always been skinny, but started lifting weights at 16 years old. He shares that his primary goal is to gain muscle mass, but he also wants to shed some body fat.

First Impressions

After seeking advice on the /r/BulkorCut subreddit, BoC started to follow a calorie surplus diet, taking in 3000-3500 calories per day. He also focused on weightlifting and strength training. After a month of this routine, he reported that he gained some muscle mass, but also some unwanted body fat.

Adjustments

BoC continued with his calorie surplus diet but reduced his calorie intake to around 2500-2800 calories per day. He also started incorporating cardio exercises into his routine. Over the next few months, he was able to lose significant body fat while still maintaining his muscle mass.

Conclusion

BoC's journey shows that gaining muscle and losing fat is possible with the right diet and exercise routine. He advises others to seek advice from experienced individuals, but reminds them to listen to their own bodies and adjust as needed. Every journey is different, but consistency and determination are key.
