Just want to say hello here in the beginner's section. Although it says senior member, don't think I'm in any way shape or form fit. I'm not obese, but even with all the learning I've done on here I've crashed so many times.
That being said, I think I've got an achievable plan. Anyways, I'm basically just trying to lose weight right now and get back down to 165-170lbs.
When, and unfortunately if (I'll be flexible if I just stall), I hit that point, I'm going up to the local university for some underwater weighing to find my accurate BF%.
From that I'm going to calculate my caloric needs, and then follow the Bodybuilding Revealed as pretty much a bible. It's really incredible and Marc did an amazing video review on it.
http://www.musclebuildingnutrition.com/ http://www.discussbodybuilding.com/m_106657/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm#261436 for Marc's thread. I can't remember if the link to the video is there or not, but it's about a 30 minute video by Marc going through the entire product. Good stuff and he narrates it well and goes into incredible detail.
So that's my plan. Good to be back. Don't know how active I'll be for now on the boards but I'm sure once I hit my first goal and start gaining I'll be here asking crazy questions. Cya lata!
