I have a question about the episode Fat Loss Made Simple and the clip Weight Loss Journey. I'm a 53-year-old man who went from 226 pounds in 2019 to losing 100 pounds by 2021. I've worked out the whole time and have landed at a weight of about 135-140 pounds. Aside from maintaining my weight, I want to get stronger without gaining weight. It’s a weird balance. I like to do Spartan sprints once a year and have goals like performing unassisted pull-ups. I had gotten to 3 pull-ups and then lost that ability, so I'm currently using bands again. I would love some tips on finding and keeping a balance.
I weigh 230 lbs, I'm 5'10", have a muscular build, and my body fat percentage is probably 28-30%. I have a desk job, play softball twice per week, and want to get back into working out. I used to work out 4-5 days per week for an hour in peak form, with max lifts of 335 lbs bench, 420 lbs deadlift, and 335 lbs squat. This was about 1.5 years ago. I quit going to the gym due to injuries, life factors, and mental health, but I still pushed through for recreational sports. What do you recommend to get back into working out and dropping to 200 lbs?
