Tired of Being Self Conscious

by Mike W

Josh,

I purchased the program and have a few questions.

First, I only have access to a gym that does not have a free bar i.e, its a 24hr gym which has only a smith machine for the major movements such as squat and bench.

I was hoping to substitute dumbells more than anything.

Squatting on a smith machine isn't ideal....leads to bad form. And injury. Also, physically I cant do pull ups or dips...any suggestions?

You probably want the reasons for my "excuses".....

I'm 39 yrs old. I am 6'5" and I weigh 370. I need to lose weight/burn fat badly. I have a lot of gym experience. I'm still fairly strong.

I will pledge to do the work... I am so tired of shopping in big & tall stores and being self conscious and ashamed of myself.

Whatever "extra" help you can afford me will be greatly appreciated. I've had such a hard time getting the excess off and being able to stick to a program.

This becoming more of a "health" issue now for me than a "vanity" issue.

Looking forward to hearing from you...
