The Process of Weight Loss

The Struggle to Maintain

For the bulking phase, R3DBARONtv increased his caloric intake, focusing on nutrient-dense foods and hitting his protein intake. He continued his strength training regimen while incorporating compound lifts and progressive overload. Currently, he is back up to 165lbs and feeling confident with his progress.
