Almost back in high school form
At 18 I weighed 270pounds, branch pressed 450, dead lifted 600 ,squated 750 and ran my 40 yard dash in 4.77 sec.
I played football as a lineman, track tossing disk and put, and wrestled
In my middle twenties I was a competitive powerLifter that got my weight up to 400pounds and could bench press 800, dead 700 and squat 975 yes with gear on.
Then I went through about 7 years of not doing nothing just growing soft and fat
As a long-term goal and better health in a older age I know have set out to get the unhealthy fat off, lean out a Lil and focus more on my cardiovascular well being
Hope this can be motivational for those with weight issues
The struggle is real
The fight is hard
The success is sweet

See, I told you switching to Diet Four Loko would pay off.
Did you wrastle in high school with the San Jose Brothers?

Little changes add up. I simply made little changes that added up. Drinking 2 less sodas a day, trying to walk more on some says just a little, eating one less of a snack at lunch time and one big thing, lifting some not too heavy for me dumb bells trying for every two or three days, plus sets of push-ups, plays whatever sets of ten each, 3 to 5 sets of certain dumbbell exercises to build back muscle but opting for sleep instead if I'm tired. I think my body was sleep deprived, was eating a little too much sugar or drinking too much sugar and wasn't doing any strength training at all to maintain or increase my muscles. Losing a pound or so a week, little changes add up.
First thing you have to do is want to make a change.

I noticed last year there were a lot of calories in the hot dog buns I started eating. I switched to toast to cut that out but that little change just maintained my weight. Folding lightly toasted bread around hot dogs actually tastes better to me than store bought buns.

I didn't say I was suddenly eating healthy but some of the hot dogs I eat are actually turkey. Oscar Mayer Turkey hot dogs taste good to me. So do the cheese hot dogs which are chicken turkey and pork.

Another suggestion:
Instead of playing xBox360 for 3 hours a night, since it's summer and longer daylight hours, maybe you should go out and ride your bike in the evenings.
Don't be embarrassed, I know several 34 year olds that still use training wheels on their Huffy too.

Jester I had really bad grades and played on a just under .500 team
I'm also short for my position at 5"8" and did not have skill position talent
No division I offers
Division II had 4 offers in south east
Division III had 6 offers in south east
Stayed local and played at a Division II school in North Carolina

Papi's idea is a good one. Eat more pussy. Congrats and keep working on it. I'm about 15 pounds higher than I want to be. It's a slow process but it's worth it.

Juice how could you squat more than deadlift that is rare?
we were similar in size and measurables except i am 6'2" and played tackle if i was 2 inches taller would have played D1.

Also keep up the good work.
I don't left super heavy anymore, it was too much wear and tear on shoulders and joints after all those years.

Ime when you use lifting gear it improves your bench press and squats but dosent do much for dead lift.
I will share my Raw aka non gear numbers
Bench press 545
Military press 495
Dead lift 640
Squat 725

That's the biggest reason I took so much time off the heavy lifting was wearing my body out
Focused now on light to moderate weight with high reps and volume

Learn to purge (unless you are infantry, you can't work off chicken fingers). Replace a meal with a 7-11 Double Gulp of diet soda. Buy a 3 lb bag of lettuce instead of a burger. If you want savory and salty (replace potato chips), drink down a bottle of broth swanson.campbellskitchen.com . Learn to smoke, or do caffeine pills.

Congratulations. I'm on a weight loss journey as well. I've lost 26 pounds since late March and I am now down to 248 pounds. When I graduated and complete boot camp in the Navy in 2005 I weighed 185 pounds. I'm trying to lose a total of 90 pounds so I can be back in my old weight range.
