Introduction: Reddit User Shares Weight Journey

One Reddit user by the name of spleenwinchester shared their weight loss journey over a five-month period. They went from weighing 152 to 145 pounds with the help of lifting and exercise. Many users were impressed, asking about their routine and offering encouragement.

Routine Includes Lifting, Squats, and Deadlifts

When asked about their routine, spleenwinchester revealed they do a bro-split which includes one leg day, one abs day, and one upper body day. Leg day involves lots of weighted squats, deadlifts, and hip abductors/adductors. Their abs routine is mostly bodyweight and high reps, including hanging leg raises. Upper body day features bench, pull-ups, tricep dips, and rowing. They switch up their routine frequently to avoid boredom.

Cardio is Important, but Not Enjoyable

While spleenwinchester admits that cardio is important, they also state that they find it boring. They try to incorporate more cardio into their routine, but it's not their favorite. This is a reminder that exercise doesn't have to be perfect, and it's okay if you don't enjoy every aspect.

Encouragement from Reddit Community

Spleenwinchester's weight loss journey was met with encouragement and admiration from other Reddit users. It's important to remember that you're not alone in your weight loss journey. There are countless people going through similar struggles and willing to offer support.

Try Things Out for Yourself

While spleenwinchester's routine may have worked for them, it's important to remember that everyone is different. What works for one person may not work for another. Don't be afraid to try out different exercises and routines until you find what works best for you. It's also important to listen to your body and make adjustments as necessary.
