Introduction

Changing your lifestyle requires motivation and a good plan. BigBilbobaggins's journey is a testament to this. His post on Reddit shows how it is possible to gain over thirty pounds of muscle mass without being a 'gym rat' or spending too much time doing it.

How He Did It

BigBilbobaggins explains that he used to eat poorly and finish each day with a Coke Zero and tortilla chips. He changed to eating high protein foods like burgers, cottage cheese, almonds, and yogurt while drinking only water. He also supplemented with protein shakes, BCAA, Glutamine, and creatine during his seven-month journey.

His Routine

He had a flexible routine where he worked on different muscle groups on different days using only an adjustable dumbbell set and a bench. He also did a fifteen-minute ab workout three times a week. BigBilbobaggins rotated between legs, shoulders, back, chest, and arms to ensure that he worked all the different muscle groups consistently. He also did pushups and varied the types of pushups he did in one workout. By doing this, he was able to challenge different parts of his body.

Results and Advice

He gained thirty-two pounds of muscle over seven months and saw a significant change in his body mass. BigBilbobaggins did not keep track of his calorie surplus, but he noticed that his metabolism worked quickly so he started with a 500 surplus but quickly went up to 750. He advises others to focus on each muscle group and change how they work to challenge their bodies. He also highlights that nutrition is just as important as the workout. Supplements helped him maximize his gains and were worth the cost.

Conclusion

BigBilbobaggins's journey shows that anyone can transform their body with the right mindset and effort. One does not have to be a gym rat or spend excessive amounts of money and time on workouts. The key is to focus on a balanced diet, supplements that work for one's goals, and a targeted workout routine that challenges the body in new ways. With the right plan, everyone can achieve their physical fitness goals.
