Article by Madeleine Smith
Introduction
Nolan19, an 18-year-old man standing at 5’11’’, shared his progression photos on Reddit. He gained 22 lbs by bulking up over the course of 12 weeks.
Exercise Routine
Nolan19 shared his six-day weekly split routine, which consisted of working on chest, back, quads, shoulders, hamstrings, and calves and arms. Although he did not follow a particular routine, he performed 12-15 repetitions and numerous drop sets. Therefore, his workout sessions were about 1 hour and 15 minutes on average.
Dietary Habits
During his bulking up period, Nolan19 consumed roughly 4,000 calories per day without tracking his macros strictly. He claimed to have a fast metabolism, enabling him to eat lots of junk food without building up too much fat. However, dietary choices must be customized according to an individual’s physical makeup, and these results may not apply the same way for everyone.
Negative Comments
Surprisingly, out of the many upbeat comments, one poster insulted Nolan19, alluding to him as a narcissist who needed attention. Others who disagreed with the remark opined that everyone was an attention-seeker anyhow.
Conclusion
Nolan19's transformative journey gave insight into the benefit of creating a training program and adhering to a regulated diet. However, what is crucial is to recognize that every person's body is distinct, and there is no 'one size fits all.' Therefore, this narrative should inspire you to seek guidance from qualified trainers and dietitians to create tailored programs, rather than being apprehensive about starting your body improvement excursions.
