Morning all,
As to the title, I am 50 years old, 6'3", 260lbs, and according to my wife the last one might be wrong. I have lost about 22lbs using slow carb and Tim Ferriss' "4 Hour Body" as a guide. I have done this previously 2 years ago and made it down to 230 and was reasonably strong. I was using an exercise program designed by a trainer at my fitness center and injured my back at the beginning of fall. Needless to say I back slid.
Flash forward to today, I am walking about a mile once or twice a day and planning to start back up a training program. I listened to Tim’s interviews with Coach Sommer and was intrigued. The injury that dropped me last time was probably something I should have been able to avoid. The concept of rehabbing connective tissue and joints was a revelation. But, I have become cautious in my middle age.
I have read on these forums that taller people with need to work harder and basically become stronger to do the program. To be honest I like that. Gives me a direction, if you will. So, here is a question, at my age, weight and height will this program be useful in reconfiguring my body as it is or is there a weight I need to reach first and some prehab required? I would prefer to not drop the weight and then injury myself again by being, um, improperly prepared.
Thanks a head of time,
Robert
I started in August, loving the program, each week I just bought another one and another one… now I have all 4 foundations, 2 handstands and 3 stretches… like a little hamster
