From 215Lbs to 148Lbs in 1.5 Years: User's Weight Journey

The Background

Meet BigblockFitness, a Reddit user who went from 215lbs to 148lbs in just a year and a half without incorporating any cardio to his routine. According to his post, he doesn't have a workout routine per se, but concentrates on one muscle group per day, such as chest, legs, arms, back, and shoulders.

The Diet

BigblockFitness is known as a fan of IIFYM, which stands for "If It Fits Your Macros." He doesn't follow a set meal plan, but instead, counts his daily macronutrient intake, adjusting it to fit his preferences. He mostly eats pizza and chicken, and even ice cream. During his photo on the “after” side, he consumed about 2200 calories a day composed of 225p, 50f, and 240ish c.

The Abs

When it comes to maintaining abs, BigblockFitness doesn't do anything special. He occasionally does floor exercises for strength, such as planks, leg lifts, and crunches. If you're looking for a routine, he recommends Frank Medrano's core exercises.

The Workout

While he does not incorporate cardio to his workout, BigblockFitness lifted weights every single day, with five 5-day cycles, focusing on a particular muscle group each day, such as chest, legs, arms, back, and shoulders. If you're planning on concentrating on one muscle group per day, he advises hitting each group at least once a week and focusing on which groups to hit twice each week.

The Transformation

BigblockFitness's journey is a testament to the positive effects of consistent hard work and self-discipline. His post has garnered 1.0k upvotes and over 100 comments. As with all things health-related, his post is not meant to be taken as advice. Instead, it's a reminder that everyone's journey is unique, so try different things and find what works best for you.
