Introduction

Stupidlove1985 is a Reddit user who decided he no longer wanted to be average. His goal was to become a beast and he has accomplished that. In just 8 months, he gained over 80 pounds of muscle, lost over 80 pounds of fat, and started bodybuilding.

Weight loss

Stupidlove1985 started at 276 pounds and after switching up his diet and workout routine, he is weighing in at 190 pounds. He did a lot of cooking for himself and ate a modified meat slop recipe 5 times a week. His remaining two days were high carb meals of 1 kilogram BBQ chicken breast, 700 grams of white rice, and green vegetables. He allowed himself a cheat day once a month and occasional cheat snacks. Stupidlove's astounding 86-pound weight loss helped him move forward to work on gaining muscle mass.

Building muscle

Stupidlove1985 wanted to become a beast, inspired by his weight loss and boosted confidence. He began bodybuilding and weightlifting. Stupidlove made sure he incorporated supplements like creatine, fish oil, and calcium into his diet in addition to protein-packed meals. He became a regular contributor to the subreddit 'SwoleAcceptance.' Lift big, eat big (and sensibly) was the motto and it worked for him. Stupidlove was dedicated to his training with a passion to sculpt his body into the ideal he has in mind.

Comments

Reddit users offered tons of congratulations and motivating comments. There were positive remarks from other users about his physique, as well as inquiries about his diet and exercise routine.

Conclusion

Stupidlove1985 is just an average person who decided he didn't want to be average anymore. He totally transformed his body over the course of just 8 months. He committed himself to working out, followed a strict diet and was dedicated to achieving his goal. He encourages others to try their hand at weightlifting and to adjust their diets to reach their ideal body goals. Anyone can become a beast, it just takes dedication and hard work.
