7 months out, 28lbs from goal!

HW: 297.6

CW: 178.0

I have been working out with a trainer 2x a week for 3 months and I feel better than ever! For the first time in my life I am STRONG! I am so thankful for this community and the tips/support you all have given me. I can't wait to see where I am in another 7 months

Probably muscle grouping also

A push pull split would be Chest/Shoulders/Triceps one day, then Legs & Core, and finally Bicep/Forearm/Back. I tried this routine for 2 months and it just didn't work for me. I was exhausted mid-way through and never felt as though I did a good job as a whole.

Muscle Grouping would be Legs, Chest, Shoulders & Back, then Bicep/Tricep/Forearm on seperate days. I did this routine with excellent results for a long time. The idea is to saturate the groups with blood so that during recovery they would reap the most benefits.

Starting Strength is Squats, Presses, and Deadlift. Thats it. 3 days a week. Guaranteed strength increases, but I am finding it boring. But I personally need to make some strength increase so this is what I am doing.

Circuit training is doing everything; legs, back, core, chest, arms, and shoulders with light weights. A big misnomer for this is "toning". I personally call it "wasting time". Yes, you will burn calories but you will not be getting stronger. Also, you spread your recovery across all muscle groups. With our reduced intake, this one makes no sense.

Whatever you are doing though, it looks like it is working. Good luck with the continued workouts and hopefully no injuries!

Well done, I can't wait to flex my muscles too.
