Thank you!! I have the people in this forum to thank for that. When I started this journey, I was just starving myself towards my goal weight.I'm not an expert on routine and thi gs but what I can say is good job for hanging in there and being consistent man!!
Gotchu fam@ShredSeason Need to start posting physique pics for both motivation and progress like @Scruf did. All these numbers and graphs are good but nothing beats the mirror.
Shrugs at that weight has gotta be pointless.View attachment 277316

Went to my dark place last night.
1 hr treadmill
Barbell curls 2x8 (60 lbs)
Hammer curls 2x13, 9 (20 lbs)
Rear delt dumbbell flys 3x16, 12, 10 (15 lbs)
Assisted pull-ups 5x8, 5, 3, 3, 3 (-175 lbs)
Dumbbell shrugs 2x12 (60 lbs)
Machine curls 1x8 (100 lbs) + 2 (85 lbs) + 1 (70 lbs) + 2 (55 lbs)
Leg extensions 2x12, 10 (180 lbs)
Seated leg curls 2x8 (150 lbs)
Seated leg press calf raises 2x25, 16
Thought I was going to throw up after calf raises, very cool to experience that. Getting 4 oz of steak down when I got home was brutal, but of course I knew I had to eat. I felt better after I forced down some sodium and potassium. Went on the couch and passed the fuck out after that, felt good once I woke up.
This is the first time jogging on the treadmill since I got this heavy. At one point I jogged for 20 minutes straight, had no idea I was capable of that. I wasn’t gasping for air either. Those assisted pull ups are amazing @dirthand , finally felt my lats activating. I’m going to need to build up a lot of strength and technique if I’m going to be able to do unassisted once I’m at 200. Today I work on abs and maybe finish my legs instead of doing my usual push. My stepdad wants to do push with me on Friday, because he’s never used machines before, so I’m going to show him the ones I use.
I got my uncle working out and on Reta, got my mom into the gym, and got my grandad working out more. I’m excited to see them change their lives and hope they stick with it. I told my uncle about the risks of Reta, but he’s crazier than I am, so of course he went on it. Me? I’m loving Ozempic, I’m glad I built up a tolerance to GLPs before going on it, I was able to miss the bad sides that way.
I actually have the opposite perspective, lmk what you think about it. In my view, shoulders and traps are the best thing for a fat guy to build up. Nothings gonna offset your stomach better than broader shoulders. I know I’ve been fitting into my shirts way better since I’ve started training.Shrugs at that weight has gotta be pointless.
Nevertheless good on you for putting in the work
Your shoulders and traps have more androgen receptors than any other muscle groups in your body. They will naturally get bigger from AAS usage with minimal work.I actually have the opposite perspective, lmk what you think about it.

Lmao you caught me, yeah they’re not enough. I usually use 75s and take those to 15 reps sometimes, this gym doesn’t go above 60 though. With 75s, it’s usually an accessory muscle like forearms that fail first. I’m gonna have to look into straps, never used them. I’ll be able to increase resistance with those?Your shoulders and traps have more androgen receptors than any other muscle groups in your body.

But I was mostly commenting because you are shrugging 60lb dumbbells. You’re already a big dude. There’s no way shrugging 60 lb dumbbells are putting any tension on your traps at all.
I bet the weight you need to shrug with dumbbells to activate your traps may require straps. You’re 300 pounds. No way your working set is 120lbs for 12 reps.
Edit: you’re curling barbells not dumbbells.
I understand. You gotta work with what you got. I cut out shrugs. But genetically I have ridiculous calves and trap insertions. I do work the calves though. The traps just grow from other things.Lmao you caught me, yeah they’re not enough. I usually use 75s and take those to 15 reps sometimes, this gym doesn’t go above 60 though.
