So many questions, not sure which track to take....
Hi all,
It's been a long freaken time since I've been on here, we're talking years here. Finally I'm just getting back into shape and am at a loss for which way to go. So first here are my stats.
24 yrs old
6'6"
Right round 300lbs
BF% - no clue
Trained for years before, for the last six months I have done just about nothing
Have not seen the inside of a real weight room in just as long
Well with all that just put out there I guess I should start. The first thing I did was started researching and checking things out. I'm the heaviest I have been in a long time. I weigh about the same as I did in college when playing ball, but have a lot less lean muscle. I would love to burn fat and gain muscle, but that seems kind of difficult. If I am wrong let me know. So I was thinking of a body recomp, which my understanding would be losing a ton of the body fat. My ultimate goal right now is to lose weight cuz obviously it's extremely unhealthy. So I figured get in the weight room and do high reps/low weight along with early morning cardio.
The more important thing, which I learned awhile back from this website is to tweak my diet. I'm still working on that and maybe if I have time I will post it tonight or tomorrow, but I'm looking at a higher protein lower carb diet. That way I burn more fat instead of carbs. Now since I really haven't done much of anything lately I am sure I will see results no matter what I do. I was thinking lots of chicken/white fish and veggies. But like I said I will post that in diet section probably tomorrow seeing as how late it is.
My goals are as follows. 1. Be healthier. 2. Lose body fat. 3. Gain lean muscle. 4. Look good in my speedo banana hammock.
I've made tons of excuses lately ranging from I have to work too much to I am too tired. But I've got that shit taken care of. So now that my head is outta my ass, I am ready to rock. I'm gonna see if I can post my pics from my iPad below. Bf% estimates would be greatly appreciated.
Any and all advice is welcome. I got thick skin, so give it to me straight, none of this 90's man "put a positive spin on things" so as not to hurt my feelings. Be blunt and honest cuz I'm sick of being a slob.
Thanks
Ok can't load pics from the iPad, or at least can't figure it out. Well I'm guessing I'm about 30% or better bf. I will figure this shit out later.
