From 119lbs to 152lbs

The Reddit user howFatAmI24 took a year off from working out after injuring his shoulders. He went from weighing 119lbs to reaching 152lbs. However, after coming back to working out, he is worried about his stomach area being an eyesore.

The Question of Bulking or Cutting

In his post, the Redditor asked whether he should bulk or cut after his hiatus from working out. A commenter suggested he needs to bulk as they didn't see much mass in his chest, shoulders, or arms. The user is unsure about what to do but has been getting back into fitness.

Results: Upvotes and Comments

The user received two upvotes and a comment suggesting they bulk further. They reiterated their concerns and asked for further advice. A Redditor suggested that they continue bulking, but to also track their nutrition to avoid gaining unnecessary fat.

Takeaways for Your Own Fitness Journey

This Redditor's weight journey showcases the importance of consistent fitness routines and the impact of injury on progress. It is crucial to give your body sufficient rest when injured, as it can reduce further damage while giving the body time to heal.

A Final Note

It is always helpful to seek advice and recommendations from professionals or those with expertise in fitness. Every individual's experience with fitness and the body's reaction to different routines vary, so it's essential to try things out to see what works best for you.
