SenorJew's Journey: A Summary
SenorJew, a 19-year-old 5'8" male, lost 71lb in bulk over the course of 12 months. His weight dropped from 253lb to 182lb by the time his weight loss journey ended, sparking a flurry of positive reactions on his Reddit post from those who were supportive and amazed by his transformation. SenorJew's weight loss journey was the result of a disciplined exercise regime, clean eating and intermittent fasting.
SenorJew's Exercise Regime
SenorJew followed a same 4 day split for the past year but he continuously adjusted the rep ranges, set amounts, workout intensity, and a few exercises over the time period to keep the routine fresh and challenging. SenorJew worked on different muscle groups on different days, working on his chest and biceps on Mondays, legs on Wednesdays, shoulders and triceps on Thursdays, and back and calves on Saturdays.
SenorJew's Healthy Eating Plan
SenorJew lived by a clean eating plan at the beginning of his weight loss journey, focusing on nutrient-dense whole food options. As time passed, he shifted his focus to IIFYM - If It Fits Your Macros - and started strictly tracking all of his calories and macronutrient intakes, even weighing out servings of food he ate and prepared at home. When he ate out, he made a point to ask the server about the portion size for each component of his meal.
Intermittent Fasting
SenorJew intermittently fasted from the beginning of his weight loss journey in order to help with his body's fat burning processes. Although he credits clean-eating as being his foundation for success, intermittent fasting helped him lose weight faster. He started with a 16:8 schedule, meaning he fasted for 16 hours and ate within an 8-hour window. He later adjusted it for 18-hour fasts and 6-hour feeding windows.
Conclusion
SenorJew's weight loss journey is a testimony to the power of discipline and dedication towards achieving fitness goals. By sticking to a regular exercise and diet routine, he was able to significantly reduce his body fat percentage, build muscle mass and achieve his target weight. It's important to note that everyone's fitness journey is unique, so it's essential to find what works best for you. Try various exercise routines and eating plans, and figure out what you enjoy and can stick with in the long-run. A healthy lifestyle is only truly sustainable when it's enjoyable.
