Obesity + Starting Strength

[Royce Nichols]

Go see a coach. 2hours each way is not bad at all. It’ll be well worth it! FYI: guy I am training is a little on the obese side and he is killing it with Starting Strength. Body composition is changing drastically. You can do this!

It is awesome to hear stuff like this! :-)

I started at over 3 bills with a huge gut, I had to take a pretty wide stance and really shove my knees out to get my gut to clear my thighs... now that I am 260 ish not really an issue now.

Should have also mentioned to possibly get some weightlifting shoes. The flat soles and metatarsal straps contribute to keeping your balance.

This. SOOO MUCH This.
