NoMoBand 278 Posted May 9, 2016 I've been hitting the gym for months now with emphasis on cardio and some lifting. My lifting has been very light weight, but, it's making a difference. The irony to this is that I've never been interested in muscle building. The wife tells me that my physique is changing and encouraged me to take pictures. Well, here I am. It is a strange feeling, but, I have to admit that I like. jake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Micoxv 276 Posted May 22, 2016 2 months out, 50 pounds down. Still a work in progress. I am trying to switch from fitness / cardio to more intense weight lifting, bodybuilding. Goal is to drop body fat with weight and keep muscles. I am trying to get 120-130 grams of Proteins a day. still challenging. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigViffer 3,544 Posted June 1, 2016 I am starting a new workout routine effective June 1st. So I am posting a starting picture here and we shall see if there are any gains made. I am switching from muscle groups to a push/pull splits. So instead of arms, chest, shoulders on different days, I am doing Chest & Tri's, back and bi's, etcetera... This is just a standing picture, no flex or tension. So my subsequent pictures will have to be the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll be happy with the results Jesus man, the first day was rough. I usually do an opposite lift between sets and I tried that with my chest and tri yesterday. I am amazed at how quickly my triceps exhausted! My working set for the presses were way down. I can see where the benefit comes from this routine, it will have to build endurance. Do you guys have an example of your workout? I was wanting to try something different. Since I am just starting this routine, I am still in the discovery phase. I will be learning as I go which exercises group together best. My routine for the last year is posted on here already though and it is pretty well explained: http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/361768-by-request-bigviffer-workout-routine/ 1 Espen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigViffer 3,544 Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Forgive my vanity, but my wife took this picture of me folding a towel this morning and even I was shocked by it. I can never see my back so this was a surprise to me!
