Hey all,
38 yr old male, married w/kids and seriously over weight.
6'1" and 275 (currently)
I started my diet about 10 weeks ago at 317 lbs and now weight 275. I have recently started working out but my workouts have just felt...immature or lacking. I was not sure if I was doing the right amount of work/reps/sets/etc...
I've used your website to create a workout routine (12 weeks abdominals) but I have a question on the exercises. Should I use a set weight or should I increase the weight as the reps reduce?
I know this may be on the forums somewhere, but my gosh there is an unbelievable amount of posts on this site.
Thanks in advance
Bob

Welcome and congrats on the weight loss so far!
Generally, as the reps get lower, the weights get higher.
Oh, and please fill out your profile.
