Does my routine suck? Please comment

should be doing more pushups and crunches than that

 

try at 75-100 of each:good

 

and yes it does suck

 

listen,

A. don't listen to anyone that talks **** to you. (moron above)
B. good on ya for deciding to get busy and improve your health
C. At 300 lbs you obviously are way out of shape, so yea, start slow, ie this routine and just slowly add to it weekly or bi-weekly
D. work on a good eating plan to go with your conditioning (if you don't have one already)

Good Luck.

 

You cant turn fat into muscle.You lose fat and you gain muscle.If you are 300 pounds,you should focus on losing weight.So if you are really serious about this,I would suggest you to do cardio at least 3 times a week.Cardio should be your primary goal.And try to reduce you portions of food.

 

are you serious? the dude is 300 pounds

As for your routine, its good to start slow so that being said, your wednesdays and saturdays have WAY too much going on. Weights probably shouldnt be a main focus for you at this time but if you ARE going to them you probably should only shoot for 3x10 instead of 4x10. Also, drop the flys. And when doing your lat pulldowns dont use a super wide grip because it will wreak havoc on your rotator cuff in the long run.

Cardio, Cardio, Cardio and smaller portions of food will go a long way.

 

Yea as the last 2 posters suggest, really push the cardio and focus on the food. You really don't want to be lifting to the point fail right now.

I wouldn't really look at serious weights until you have achieved atleast 75-80% of your loss goals. This is not going to happen quickly so prepare for the long haul if you are dedicated to it.

 

What is your diet like? I mean calories, not an answer like "I eat oatmeal for breakfast and whatever for dinner".

 

If you are really 300 lbs it's more of a matter of your diet as opposed to your inactivity. Eating fruit instead of potato chips, water instead of soda/alcohol, and lean meats/veggies instead of fried foods will help you lose substantial amounts of weight. Support with cardio. Try an walk at least a mile a day. Its understandable if you cannot run/jog, but you need to get moving.

 

I agree with most of the other posters above, out of curiosity how tall are you? Either way, you alreay know you need to lose weight. I would try to set small goals for yourself, and make a little journal of your progress, this is a good way of keeping up your confidence while making yourself feel good about what you are starting to achieve.

Cardio is extremely important, I would concentrate on jogging almost everyday, start off by slow jogging for maybe 2 miles a day and up to 3 the next month. If it is raining that day, I would do the miles on a tredmill. If you lose the weight slowly, but surely, your end result will be attained. I would make your goal to tyry and lose 4 to 5 pounds a month, which could end with over 50 pounds over a years time of lost weight.

Drink a ton of water, it will rid your body of dangerous toxins, help with digestion, and also regulate your bodies temp., and always drink a huge glass of water before your meal. I would do a gallon a day, to clean out your body. Watch labels for saturated fats, and always cut the fat around whatever meat you eat, and stay far away from soda's, they contain nothing but empty carbs and estimated 40 grams of a sugar for every can you drink.

 

A lot of us here can help you, but if you could answer these questions first, it would make it easier tp come up with a successful program suited for you. Can you post your age, height, exact weight, average daily calorie intake, How long can you jump-rope for straight before starting over again, how many standard pushups you can do in one set, how many regular situps you can do in one set, how many regular pullups you can do in one set. Also since you answered the question that you'll be getting a home gym, do you also have a machine like a treadmill, stationary bike, or elliptical in your home?

 

You're making good food choices, but it's possible you're not eating enough. I'd add the fruits you have for a snack to your breakfast and have a big salad for lunch.

Keep up the good work, you'll be able to add more to your workout as time goes on and you begin losing weight. Stick with it. :thumbsup
