Hey guys,
Weighing over 320lbs and standing at 6'5, you could say I'm a big guy, right? Well, I am not quite the "big" that I strive to be. I am, of course, a very large man but over the next year or so I am hoping to become a better, more healthier type of "big" - and I have absolutely no idea how to achieve this.
I am the ultimate beginner when it comes to this type of stuff, but I am very willing to learn. Perhaps you could answer some questions I have on this:
1) Can I turn fat into muscle on my arms, for example, whilst losing weight in other areas? So, essentially, can I lift and lose weight simultaneously?
2) I am naturally relatively strong, so what weight - as in lifting - should be my starting point? Dumbells? Bench? Kettlebells?
As I said, this is amateur hour up here but I don't think anyone here inherited all of their knowledge on this specific subject. It was gained via their determination to learn. Think of me as a lesser-experienced version of yourself and try to be as helpful as you can in informing me.
I appreciate it.
