Hey folks, I'm a complete beginner to building. Really just getting started.
A year ago I weighed 300lbs of pure fat, probably 38-40%BF. I'm now lean at 5'11 and 175-178 and 11.5%BF. It was a ton of work and I've learned a lifetimes worth of lessons through out the process.
I'm ready for the next phase which is building up. I lift 4 times a week, twice with a trainer. I also keep regular cardio routines, and stick to the biggest gun of my weightloss odyssey: walking.
I've joined up to absorb my share of the info here and read about what works and what doesn't for different people and just to have a place to ask questions and share what will be my own sucesses and failures.
Seems a great board off the bat and I'm already pages deep in several articles and threads.
Cheers!
PS Anyone who works out in downtown Toronto at 'Goodlife', I'm looking for a lifting partner who doesn't mind an enthusiastic newbie to work with.
