Long story short. Used to be in relatively good shape/health. Over the last few years I quit working out while still eating horribly and gained a considerable amount of weight. I have been unemployed for the last 6 months and let myself get even worse. I am 45, 5'9'' and weigh 305lbs. I finally got ...

Got the straps. Thanks for the info. I am more aware of grip now. I was barley using pinkie and ring finger especially on right hand. I appreciate all the help.

The routine I am doing has both dips and chinups in it. I know that these are better than other exercises for the same muscles because of the core and stabilizers. Right now I am at 308lbs and cannot do either one. The gym I go to does not have a machine that helps you with these so question is do I...

Recipe sounds good is 1L cottage cheese 1 liter. Gonna give them a try.

Thanks for all the info. I will definately get the straps and use all of your advice.

Check on craigslist or quite a few credit unions in area have swap sheets so they might in yours. Always some high quality at a low price because of non use and they are getting rid if them.

I feel it the most with thumb and ring finger more in forearm and elbow joint.

The pain is in the muscle. The forearm just before elbow and the bicep just above elbow. It hurts when I try to extend arm after not moving for awhile. I know the non idiot thing would be to not do the exercise but I was hoping someone on the forum would perhaps have an answer. Thanks

When I have finished lifting I do some elliptical. The machine says for weight/age heart rate for burning fat should be around 140. To maintain anywhere near 140 I am barely moving. How accurate are the minitors and should I follow them. If I do any type of HIIT the machine tells me to slow down. I ...

Any time I do an isolated exercise for biceps it causes a lot of pain when I straighten out arms for 3-5 days after doing it. I stretch well before and after because it seems I have always had this problem. Anything else I should be doing or should I just not do this exercise?

Started doing the Huge in a Hurry by Chad Waterbury. I've let myself go so long that I've ballooned to 300#. Question is would it be ok to do cardio on the 3 days of workout and on the days in between or would this be too much. Not really looking to get " huge in a hurry" I'm 45 and don't ...

I've tried changing eating habits today. They were atrocious, eating out of a machine at work, no breakfast, and junk at night all night. Today I had a bowl of oatmeal with 7 almonds and scoop of protien powder and a multivitamin and glucosamine at 4:30am. 9:30 lowfat yogurt, noon a sandwich with ch...

Not too familiar with terminolgy or abreviations. What is a basic TBT ot? I like the idea of losing the weight slowly to reduce excess skin. How do I figure out what amount of calories I should be taking in for weight? Thanks

I'm 43 5'9 280. Finally gonna get motivated and lose weight and get in better shape. question is at age can I still lift to gain mass. I would like to bulk up while losing fat if possible but perhaps I waited to long.
