Yo! Thanks for allowing into your corner of the web. It's nice to see such a large group of individuals trying to make a difference in an activity and process they enjoy. For that reason I decided to join and start learning as much as I can.

I'm 44, 6'4 340 lbs. I'm probably 30%bf. I will have to do a test. I dropped down to 280lb 2 years ago just walking every day. I lift every now and again but I'm just inherently big, wide shoulders, size 15 shoes.

I'm wanting to learn the best way to get started on cutting all this fat, I read some on glp1 reta and sounds promising after the release of the phase 3 data.

I don't know if I should go down this route but I just want to look better. I get in the gym and I go for weeks and I don't see any improvements. I can lift heavier, great, but I want some results and they don't have to be fast. I want to learn as much as I can, design a good schedule and start building a low dose regimen and go from there. I'm not in a hurry, I want to be safe with minimal side effect and a lot of knowledge. If anyone has any good links to beginner data I would appreciate it. I'm reading all over the forums. Thank you for your time.

Welcome to Meso. Nice to see someone trying to do it the right way before hopping on copious drugs. Post up your workout routine, how much time you have to dedicate to training per week, goals (I know you said you want to cut fat but that's too vague. Be specific and intentional about your goals), diet, sleep habits, and recent bloodwork results if you have them.

these are all factors that play into your body composition. Reta is a great GLP-1 for general weight loss but if you have a problem with controlling hunger tirzepitide might be a better choice. Also, consider getting some growth hormone (rHGH). It is great for recomping.

Being a bigger guy you should have no problem putting on muscle and losing weight at the same time as long as you can get your diet, training and recovery in check.
