Golds Gym that is. Yep been doing cardio every day with a body building style of light weights but high volume to get my swollen on.
My progress is I'm down from 425 pounds to 315pounds
Been bench pressing 225 for 20 reps for 3 sets
Bent over rows 225 for 30 reps for 3 sets
Squats 365 for 25 reps for 4 sets
One hour of bike in the morning
One hour of stairs in the evening
Almost back in high school football shape
Still got a big guy but it's not as big as it was
Best of luck to anyone in this struggle of weight

Used to take karate,boxing and wrestling in middle school through high school.
My fighting days are over but I'm really thinking about getting involved in a mix marital arts class just to help with keeping the weight off with extra but fun cardio
Might even find a park or gym that as some pick up basketball games. I used to be decent at street basket ball

Those are impressive rep numbers. Maybe you can get into a strongman competition and chuck beer kegs over a 20 ft wall

I did that ten years back as a amature strongman

I'm better at normal power lifting meets with the bench squat and dead because of my shirt arms and legs
Strong man is more for the tall big guys. The odd lifts need long arms and legs to even carry them
Current measurement
Arms 22 inches
Chest and back 65 inches
Thighs 36 inches
Calves 24 inches
Sounds impressive but my waist is 60 inches. It was 70 plus put I'm getting it down.. my goal is to have a nice 50 inch waist soon.
Shailynn will see me soon and will be able to vouch for these crazy sounding numbers
I'm a real Boy

I often believe my height is what kept me from going pro in alot of my athletic adventures.
Oooo well I was one hell of a amateur athlete lol

I've been weightlifting since I was about 11 years old. I would always take a year or two off after about five years of hard consistent training. I'm just now getting back into it after taking the last three years off.
I've spent my whole life trying to be huge and strong by any means. Now that I have that size and strength it's time to get the unhealthy fat off and focus on shaping my blocks of muscle
It's been a fun hobby...one of many that bring happiness to my life

Haven't and probably want text my Max on the big three but guest mating I bet
Bench is right now in the high 300s if not very low 400s
Dead is probably something similar to bench but maybe a Lil
Squat is probably high 500s very low 600s

Sounds like very good progress.
I'm taller and much thinner but agree that for many people, strength training is the easier way to maintain or lose weight rather than killing yourself walking and running all over the place. It's the loss of muscles as you get older that causes people to gain weight over the years even if they don't start eating lots of extra sugar via soda etc. It can be difficult if you fall asleep and wake up at the wrong times.

Congratulations Juicy Mane.
I'm a bit jealous though. Me and the scales have waged battle my entire life. I'm getting old enough now that my extra poundage is causing some health problems. I'm trying. I went to the doc last week and I have lost a few pounds. I've lost 100 pounds twice before but each time I let it come back. Keep up the good work.

Shark thank you and maybe my strength and muscle development will help me through my senior years if it doesn't kill me first lol
Vince yes we should arm wrestle over lap dances and extras in Detroit or Atlanta
Mo head it means a lot you sharing this. I have struggled my life as well. My whole life from childhood, teen years and adulthood I've been in shape and way out of shape.
I'm big boned so even when I'm in shape I'm big even though I sport average height.
I weighed 145 in the 3rd grade and was pure fat. By the time I was in high school I was 275 pounds and in shape
Of course I had some fluctuation inbetween I'm just giving a quick over view.
As an adult I got up to 425 pounds as a power lifter but I could lift damn close to drug free lifting national records but I feel short. Was in shape at this weight. Hell no
I'm now getting close but I got a long road ahead of me and I know that even once I accomplished this I will still battle the weight
I can gain 50 pounds quickly if I don't watch myself
I've always been able to gain muscle or fat very easy
Don't give up my head...even if it looks bleak
As long as we breath we must try
