Just got a DEXA scan

My body fat % is 35.8. Fricking christ bros I am pathetic. Time to get after it and get fit.

I have cut my calories to 2000 and doing cardio everyday. I am new to lifting, so I need to research routines and good lifts to do. I am thinking about doing a push, pull, legs split?

Pic rel, me.

    If you can tolerate it cut it lower so you drop it faster.
    Or do lots of walking.

      I'm so fat, they couldn't fit my whole body in the scanner, that's why my left arm is cut off in the image. They estimated that weight by using my right arm.

      I am currently doing machines and incorporating free weights as I learn exercises.

        There is 0 reason to do machines at any point in time ever. You would literally be doing better for yourself by standing still and watching a YouTube video on how to do whatever free weight exercise you're struggling with, and then doing that free weight exercise.

      Thank you, I will lose the weight. Pic rel, my progress so far.

      I am getting a Resting Metabolic Rate test next week to see what my BMR currently is, rather than estimating it using some generic formula.

        You should check your insulin resistance and resting glucose levels. This will help you understand how your diet is currently impacting you. They have continuous glucose monitors you could wear.

    How old are you homie? Be real with yourself. Take it slow. Make small, sustainable changes to your lifestyle that you can build up over time. Most people when they try to flip their life around end up failing.

    Make small changes to your diet. Add in a simple routine maybe 3 days a week lifting +2 cardio days. Ease into it.

    And when you are ready make a few more small changes or additions to your fitness routine. Do not neglect recovery and do not ignore your body.

    Make this a LIFESTYLE not a goal to be reached.

    Best of luck! Keep coming around

    Cardio doesn't make you lose weight. You only lose weight based on your diet. You need to be eating the most satiating and nutrient-dense foods (meat, organs, fruit) and avoiding anything with an ingredients list.

    I would also recommend 36 hour fasts on days you don't do physically or mentally intensive (if you plan to spend a Saturday at home cleaning, for instance), because I personally really like them.

      I don't know about 36 hours, but I am thinking about "saving" my calories until later into the day.

      How much did it cost?

      where do you go for a dexa scan
      how much does it cost
      sometimes you just need the right motivation, like seeing your fat ass in a photo, or not fitting inside the dexa scan machine
      wagmi

      470$ for 2 DEXA scans and 1 RMR test, they had cheaper options (eg: 1 DEXA scan for like 140$?). I just googled "DEXA scan near me"

      You should check your insulin resistance and resting glucose levels. This will help you understand how your diet is currently impacting you. They have continuous glucose monitors you could wear.

      I am diabetic, pic is of my latest bloodwork from 11/22

      Did you think your bodyfat would be significantly lower than 35? What's the matter with you??

      No I just wanted to know where I was starting at so when I go back I can see my progress.

      As for lifting, you should only be doing exercises that work out a lot of muscles at once at this moment in time. Don't over think it. Just do this

      >squats
      >pull-ups
      >bench press
      >overhead press
      >rows (any type you like)
      >deadlift/deadlift alternative (don't be a spaz with this exercise)

      However many days you work out, split those lifts evenly. If you work out 3 days, pick 2 of those lifts, do 3 sets of 5 with 2 sets of warm-ups, and then do a couple complementary lifts. For instance:
      >Monday squat/bench press day
      >squats
      >bulgarian split squats
      >bench press
      >dips

      That is literally all you need to be doing at this point in time. Do not overcomplicate it. If you want more examples or a full program for lifting 3x a week, let me know.

      Thank you for the information, I will have to look up some of those exercises. I am anti social, so bench press is gonna be difficult b/c I don't want a spotter.

        I am proud of you. I am the coworker that smiles when you choose the stairs over the elevator. I am the guy who sees you walking early in the morning and gives you a thumbs up. I am the waitress whose day you made choosing salad over a burger. I am the bodybuilder seeing another man take fate into his own hands. I am proud of you. Make yourself proud too.

          This was a nice post but
          >salad over a burger
          A seed-oil ridden salad made of shitty nutrient-void vegetables is worse than a burger filled with nutritious meat. You'll eat the salad and then eat a sugar bomb of a dessert since you are still hungry, and that'll leave you worse off. I think your post would be better if you said "the waitress whose day you made choosing water over a Coke" or something like that.

        36 hours just means you don't eat for a whole day, i.e.
        >eat dinner at 7pm Tuesday
        >don't eat Wednesday
        >eat breakfast at 7am on Thursday

        Try it out, it might really help you. Those sorts of fasts help me conquer hunger. You'll just feel differently about hunger for the rest of your life. Maybe the effect wears off after 6 months or something lol.

        You can reverse it anon, I believe in you. Eat more steak and less foods with ingredients lists. You might also want to try organ meats. You can buy them at the store, or they sell desiccated organs online which help many people. Best of luck, you're gonna make it.
