Surprised you didn't play basketball with your height. But you're a big dude. Not too many basketball players weigh What you do, I think Shaq did

Ya, football was my #1 passion.. Played in southern California before going to Northwest Missouri State, unfortunately torn Acl and Mcl before my pro day..

Can't thank everyone enough for all your input. I will get my log together this week and everything written out. So excited to be accepted into the elite family, really looking forward to this journey.
Age 38
Height 6'9
Weight as of 3/22- 289
Will get pics up this week as well, love to get that bodybuilding physique in the future. Understanding the hard work and determination to go with it, along with balancing the everyday home life. Thank you again to everyone, super excited to start this long dedicated journey.

Also could I get some suggestions on a great all in one daily vitamin or a vitamin stack as well as an amazing greens supplement? I'm so out of the loop over the years. Things have changed so damn much in such a short amount of time. I use to love isopure protein, with the low carbon count. Not a huge protein drink person, as I think it's been misleading over the years of the amounts to take in, and never ending list of brands these days. Thanks

@6ft9gymrat before we start recommending anything lets get your Log started, you dont need to write it out, just throw up 15min of info and we will update from there, click this link below I laid out how

Hello there fellow fitness friends. Zack here, stand 6 ft 9 around 290lbs, age 38. Have done about 6 cycles in my early 20s. But after many years off I'm focused and dedicated on getting back on my feet. Any suggestions on a simple cycle to get flowing once I drop about 35-40lbs. Also something good on the joints, standing like a red wood lol.. and all the football in my younger years. Joints and bones aren't what they use to be, whether I think so or not..lol luckily I'm not shrinking yet..lol. thanks again

@6ft9gymrat welcome to the EF family dude

What position did you play with football?

Did you end up getting injuries? Or did you end up going pro?

Unfortunately injuries got the best of me, and some serious depression after a torn Acl/Mcl before my pro day. I played Offensive tackle/left side. My playing days stats were 6'9 325lbs ran a 5.1 40. Not the fastest but alot of mass moving lol.. 225 bench for 29 reps.
