hell yeah. good work. I used to be out of shape, not fat though, but I was weak and had pains. sciatica, lower back issues, tight muscles, no flexibility, terrible cardio health. but I started training 3x week + cardio 2x week a few years ago and I’ve never felt better in my life
Thank you for your support. Yeah my upper body is kind of a mess right now like you when you started out. Building up new muscle mass there will be way more difficult than controlling calorie intake and doing cardio like a mad man. That will be my next step, I almost burned enough fat to at least be happy on that front.
I found success doing calisthenics. it teaches proper form and injuries are far less common than weight lifting, which seemed risky doing when I had back trouble. I’ve been able to build up my glutes and back muscles (and the entire posterior chain) in a slow steady progression. strengthside on youtube was my start. they have some great videos on the subject. from there I joined a calisthenics/bodyweight program and also just hit the local playground and hop on the monkey bars or whatever.
