Hi All,
I am brand new to these boards so hello, I need some suggestions on how to train while I am losing this gut I got here.
Let me give you some background on me so maybe that will help.
I am a male, 40 years old, 5' 7" and a discusting 350lbs. I have very broad shoulders and would have a small waist if I could actually see it.
I actually have been weightlifting off and on (mostly off from the look of me) since I was 16. I gain muscle pretty fast especially in my legs. I do have a lot of muscle mass from the years of off and on training and just need some good advice on how I should train while trying to lose this weight. I have a semi bad back, my last two discs are losing the "padding" in between and I need to stay away from to much pressure, example: heavy shoulder presses and things of that nature.
I need suggestions on this:
should I train heavy or light? maybe alternate days? how much aerobics should I do ( I can really only do the bike now with my back)? How many days should I train? I would like to eventually get back to a bodybuilding training schedule.
I have been told by some bodybuilder friends I used to train with that I have a lot of potential. It seems I have that broad shoulder/small waist thing going. Yea if I wasn't so damn fat. Also, I gain muscle very fast. Any suggestions would be very welcomed and appreciated.
I am ok with Diet but some suggestions on fat burners or appetite suppressors would be good.
Thanks all.
