First of all, having abs (in my opinion) isn't everything. Second, you need to realize what having abs entails, and you may decide it's not worth it. Typically, guys at your size bulk first, then cut. You can't do both at the same time. Some obese people can lose fat and build muscle at the same time. Hope over to FB or…

You should look into getting a SNAP card (food stamps). If you do not qualify for that, search on the internet where the nearest place is to pick up commodities. You should be able to find a food bank that supports this program by the USDA. A lot of the staples mentioned are provided for free, and it's very easy to…

I'm here--I'm not expert--but I've started Olympic lifting and powerlifting. I also attend a lifting class at my gym that pretty much covers everything else.

I love strong lifts. As long as you're getting adequate recovery, you can incorporate other movements to help strengthen smaller muscle groups and muscles used for stabilizing. Also, in terms of gains, consider whether or not you're on a cut. Gains can suffer or stagnate due to intake.

I'm a 40 to 42 DD, and I have various brands. If you need to try on bras, then it is probably best to go in store at Lane Bryant. They have their semi-annual sale coming up soon--buy two, get two free. They usually keep some on clearance as well. I use to go to Academy and buy the BCG brand of sports bras. They still give…

Yes--you can build muscle on a calorie deficit as long as it is not an extreme deficit. If you track your macros and are getting the recommended macros for your body and your goals, then you can build muscle and lose fat at the same time. When you are on a deficit, your performance is likely to be a little less than if you…

There is much good info here. Also keep in mind to strengthen all muscles in and surrounding the knees as well as the glutes. Bret Contreras has good exercises for the glutes.

My brother has suffered UC almost all of his life. He was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in his late teens, and due all the damage to his Colon, it was removed in his twenties. He has to wear a colostomy bag. The doctor's tried the surgery where you train a part of your small intestine to be your colon, but it didn't work.…

Carry a concealed weapon--whether it be a knife or a pistol. They make all kinds of concealment gear. Sign up for self defense training to learn how to defend yourself with a knife, pistol, or your bare hands. There is no reason to remain in fear. Empower yourself with the necessary knowledge and skill. Also, never run…

Yes--if I was single.

If the weight was easy on the set, you rest 90 seconds, if it was hard or you hit failure, rest 2 to 3 minutes.

Go to the Strong Lifts website, and read what you can. I think they have a Q&A. Also, there is a free app on the Android market--it may be on the Apple market too. Download it on your phone or device, and it tells you what weight to increase by, which exercise to do, how long to rest, etc. It also tells you what to do when…

Depending on how bad your knees are--consider exercises to make them stronger. If you can eventually work up to doing squats or goblet squats with good form--that's the best thing. You can also do hamstring curls and leg presses. Sometimes the muscle weakness is an imbalance in strength between the quads and hamstrings.

Great decision--surgery should always be more of a last resort.

You can add me--I'm 6' at 250 lbs currently. I'm not the best at meal planning, but I'm working on it and cooking more. I'm a paleo eater for medical reasons.

At my old gym, there was a guy who worked out in short denim shorts. And one day, he had a hole in them. I wasn't offended, but I went the other way.

I need one too.
