Article by Madeleine Smith
Introduction
A Reddit user named bash253 posted about his incredible 6-month journey of weight loss and bodybuilding. From 205 pounds, he went down to 175 pounds, without any steroids involved. He credits his success to his strict diet plan and workout routine.
The Diet Plan
Bash253's diet plan was strict, and it involved tracking his food precisely using the MyFitnessPal app. He followed a 40% protein, 40% carbohydrate, and 20% fat regimen while bulking, and a 50% protein, 15% carbohydrate, and 35% fat regimen when cutting. A rule he followed was if he couldn't kill or grow it, he wouldn't eat it.
The Workout Routine
Bash253 trained 6 times a week, for 1-1.5 hours per session. He switched between two different training routines every month to prevent plateaus. One month he'll have a chest/back, shoulder/arms, legs, repeat routine. While others he'll go for a chest/triceps, back/biceps, legs/shoulders routine. Bash253 never included cardio in his routine; instead, he stuck to his strict diet plan.
The Accomplishment
Bash253's journey took him from cutting 30 pounds to bulking 15 pounds before cutting another 10 pounds. He admits there were ups and downs during his journey, but focusing on the prize kept him pushing. There were even accusations of steroid use when the redditor posted his progress photo. But he reacted calmly and held his ground, saying that he was all-natural.
Conclusion
Bash253's journey shows that dramatic weight loss and muscle gain are achievable with hard work, discipline, and dedication. It's not always an easy path, but his success story proves that it's worth it. Anyone looking for inspiration to make their own weight loss or bodybuilding journey happen should read through his Reddit posts for guidance and motivation.
