How are you doing? How can we help you? So let me find my question again. I listen to you guys a lot. A lot of your advice helps me very much, but I am six foot one and over 390 pounds. And I noticed a lot of your advice and advice that I hear online everywhere tends to be more towards aimed at people looking to cut maybe 10 to 25 pounds or to bulk up a little bit.

I was wondering what advice you would give to somebody who has as much as 200 pounds to lose like I do, because like reverse dieting, eat more to lose more. It's kind of hard to do that when somebody ate their way to almost 400 pounds. I'm running a three day full body routine that I like a bit that I built myself. And I used to power lift a lot.

I had a 330 pound bench, 370 squat and 435 deadlift. But I'm starting to get joint pain if I try to lift like that again. Um, so I'm just wondering what your advice would be for somebody who has a lot to lose instead of just like a little bit and trying to get in shape. Somebody who wants to actually like completely change their life.

Not anything specific. Being as big as I am, I try to deadlift and my belly kind of gets in the way. I've done some trap bar deadlifts, but... Other than that, I don't have a whole lot of issues.

I have a Fitbit. Perfect. One of the bigger issues I have with it, though, is my job is sedentary, but I'm moving my arms a lot. So it tracks steps that I'm not taking. Okay. So I haven't used it in a while.

Not a whole lot. Yeah. Thanks. Yeah. So I had originally asked the question about getting more, um, cardiovascular endurance, being able to run more while still gaining muscle.

take away from the weight training, uh, but can still increase that. And that's basically what I've done. I've really just done one longer run once a week and my time has continually gotten less and I've continued to gain muscle. So.
