I wrote that all for nothing? J/k. You do whatever works for you. You do you.

 

He has a relationship...








With the gym!

 

No no, I understand what you are saying but the way I space out my meals and with my size and intake I'm doing alright.

 

I've been in a relationship for 6 years. No kids though. Getting married in Sept. Luckily for me, she loves the gym too and we workout together from time to time, too

Most people who go to the gym have full-time jobs and a lot of them have families, as well. 4-5 hrs a week is nothing.

 

Dude... That's ONE MEAL for me... out of SIX. My one protein shake contains 1,250 calories, 143 carbs, 40 grams fat, and 84 grams protein...

 

What's your guys thoughts on exercises for a very obese person?
Focus on light weight/high rep compound lifts or focus more on accessory type stuff, like machines and cables until he builds some strength?

my 350+lb friend is trying to lose weight and Im trying to get a routine set up for him, but his size makes things like dls and squats difficult

Having him do rack pulls and do a lot of cable work until his mobility improves but I'm debating whether to focus on compounds more

 

Here was today.. Had a couple pieces of beef jerky as well

 

Nutrition, steady state cardio and bodyweight only exercises.

 

Heres everyday except sunday

 

That's a lot of sodium. What's you height and weight?

 

Just drink more water. I drink at least a gallon a day.

I am 6' 1" @ 206#

 

and you lift heavy I'm assuming?

and I do drink water but I have to somewhat watch the sodium in my diet due to my heart. Everything in moderation though.

 

I plan on dying in a few years so the sodium can suck it I fall asleep while driving too much so I am going to die that way, guarantee it. JUST CANNOT STAY AWAKE - I have a problem, I know.

Yeah, I do powerlifting style workouts.

 

Lol I'll die in a speeding accident probably. and I just do normal lifting so I intake less. I'll double my intake when I bulk

 

I hear ya, I am also trying to gain weight. Coming from 150# ecto pussy ass bitch (still a pussy ass bitch btw) I could bench 90#, squat was #100 and deadlift was barely #115.

Now I am looking at about #235, #400, and #445. Been lifting almost 3 years.

 

I'm a small guy too.. My bench is about 135, squat is only 115, and I don't know about deadlift. But once spring break is over I hope to add 50# to each of those and call it good

 

you lucky fuckface!!!!!

100% mirin your metabolism

i will do anything to be a pussy ass bitch that can eat 4200+ calories, i only lift weights so i can eat food

 

This X11,000

I was 305 before I started my lifestyle change, my first 40 lbs was all diet change (took 4 months) and my latest 20 lbs have been diet and body weight exercises with cardio (been working out since the end of December).

PM me if you have any questions, if I can't help with my personal experience I can ask my trainer.

 

This is more like it....our stats are about the same, too (except I bench 315, am 5'11", squat 335, and deadlift 405 )

Thiiiiiis^^^

A gallon and a half a day and eat as much salt as you want! (Within reason)

 

so mainly cardio so far?

I have a lot of experience with weight loss, but not weight loss on this scale, starting from his level of strength

I've had him start an actual diet, and am having him do start on cardio, just trying to figure out a gym routine

I'd have him stick to BW movements but there isn't much he can do because of the weight and how he's been a couch potato for the past decade, and he just bought a gym membership so I'm looking for stuff to get him to do
