Introduction
Madclappa shares his weight gain journey on Reddit, inspiring other users looking to transform their body composition. He goes from weighing 120 to 150lbs in a year and shares his fitness routine and diet changes.
Fitness Routine
Madclappa admits that he did not follow a set cycle but aimed to hit every major muscle group at least once a week while lifting heavy compound lifts. This could be an effective strategy for beginners to gain muscle and strength. Compound exercises work multiple muscle groups, allowing for maximum muscle activation and overall strength.
Diet
Consistency is key when it comes to diet. Madclappa ensures that he eats every available protein source he can and with the right amounts to support his muscle growth. Increasing protein intake to around 1g per pound of body weight would be a good starting point. This would support muscle repair and growth whilst also curbing appetite allowing for gradual weight gain.
Takeaway
Looking to transform your body composition? Madclappa’s weight gain journey demonstrates the importance of a disciplined approach that includes regular resistance training, high protein intake and a calorie surplus. While his approach may not work for everyone, it is worth trying different fitness routines and diets to achieve success.
Conclusion
Madclappa’s experience is proof that gaining muscle and transforming one’s body composition can be achieved in one year. The journey requires discipline, hard work and a willingness to experiment but the results speak for themselves. By combining regular resistance training, high protein intake, and a calorie surplus, you too can achieve your fitness goals.
