    Help for an obese person

    Yeah it hurts to say that, but that is why I am here. I have been weight training for over a year now. However until recently have not been real dedicated to it. Something in me has changed in the past few weeks making me more and more dedicated. I am currently 6' and weight 335lbs. I am interested in become a bodybuilder. What I am looking for is some suggestions from those of you who have experience similar to mine and those who have bodybuilding experience. I am currently in the gym 5 days a week. I am currently at 20 minutes for moderate cardio and expect to be at 30 minutes by the end of next week. I would like to do a four day split work out and follow an obvious fat loss nutrition program. I really look forwarrd to everyones support and help as we all watch me get real about getting ripped. My goals are to be able to take my shirt off and have the ladies go holy **** he looks good.

    How much protein do I need? ( I heard 1.5 time bodyweight )
    How much fat do I need? ( I hear .25 times bodyweight )
    How much carbs do I need? ( I heard .75 times bodyweight )
    How many cals should I be taking in order to lose the fat?

    To me the number I see on the scale means jack **** but rather how I look in the mirror is more important to me! So basically I just wanna get ripped and cut and lose these god **** love handles.

    Well thanks everyone for the upcoming support!

    I love this site, very informative BUMP to everyone for that!

    What does your weight training programs look like right now?

    Remember high reps to failure. 12-15 is are the standard numbers i believe.

    Id try to lose what of the weight you can before you mess with T3 and Clen you would be surprised what Diet and Cardio can do alone . Those are mostly for stubborn fat that is hard to get rid of . Maybe try a KetoGenic Diet . Once you get your diet right the pounds will come off bro .

    personally i would ad atleast 2 more sets to all exercises and up the reps to 12-15 on each set.. reaching failure. You will have to tweek the poundages to find out where your failure point is on each set.


    I will post my routine later.. keeping in mind that i'm training for mass.


    I used to be a real fatass too bro. Still am by some standards. Least now i have muscles.
