Greeting all,
At 45, 325lbs at 5’11’’, diagnosed with Cadiomyopathy, advanced OA, high blood pressure 150/90, high cholesterol and depression. At 51, decided to join local gym. Started using only lightest weight possible to get accustom to movements. After a year and half, had to change gym twice due to lack of heavy dumbbells and 45’s plate. I’m now 280 at 15 % bf, 60 inch chest, 38 inch waist, 18 inch biceps, and massive 30 inches thighs. Bp is now 110/70. No AAS. Isolate whey protein, glutamine, creatine monohydrate, huge amount of cod liver oil, fish oil, vitamin C, garlic extract, and omega 3. Balls to wall training every other day – hack machine 12 plates, leg press 30 plates…
I still deal with OA, pain and depression but at least now I have something to look forward to. People at the gym think I'm from outer space...
Moral of story – everything possible…just believe.
This is a typical back work out for me…
Bent over rows (reverse grip) up to 315 for 12 reps x 4 set
Dead lift - up to 400 for 12 reps x 6 set
T-bar - up to 270 for 12 reps x 4 set
Dumbbell rows - up to 160 for 12 reps x 4 set
Machines pull down - up to 250 for 12 reps x 4 set
Cable rows - up to 300 for 12 reps x 4 set
