Hey guys so I have been overweight all my life and found lifting a couple years ago as it was the only type of exercise I could do at almost 500lbs. I have been up and down weight and workout wise. I just recovered from a back injury and started lifting again last night. I am keeping a writen journal but thought I would keep one out here as well.
I am starting slow and looking to progress towards a powerlifting type program like Stronglifts 5x5 or Rippetoes 5x5 or 3x5. Right now I am not convinced I am performing or can perform Squats and Deads with proper form at my size. 455lbs as of Oct 1st down from 471lbs in Aug.
I started real light to see how my back would respond and it is tight but not to sore.
Leg Press 90lbs/10reps x 2set, 180lbs/5reps x 3sets
Bench Press 45lbs/10, 65lbs/10, 95lbs/5 x 3
Seated Rows 25lbs/10, 35lbs/10, 50lbs/ 5 x 3
Leg Curls 40lbs/5 x 3
Since comming back my weight loss progress has looked like this
Aug 2008 = 471 lbs
Sep 2008 = 461 lbs
Oct 2008 = 455 lbs
I weigh in the first of every month I am a little worried about the first of this month with the couple weeks off to let the back heal but I ate real clean so I think I will be ok.
My goal is to lose between 5 to 10 lbs every month
