So, it has been a few years since I last did any type of workout due to a car accident that caused me to have chronic back and neck pain. It is painful to work out because it compresses the spine and pinches nerves.
However, I am gung ho enough to push through the pain and can’t stand the way I look anymore. I am 6’0’’ and am now 340lb…Use to be 200lb with little badyfat… So, I want to hit off burning this fat ASAP…
I am starting a low-carb diet of 100g-150g or less carbs a day as my diet. I am looking at a supplement stack and I am wondering how well i did on picking it out and if i should add or subtract something. I’m trying to keep cost down or I would just buy the entire T-Nation store. (great stuff here)
Lineup:
HOT-ROX Extreme
TRIBEX Gold (so i don’t OD on Carbolin 19)
Creatine 3g a day after workouts (anymore than 3g and the toilet hates me…)
(if they ever get it back in stock)
Receptormax (still debating on this one)
Rez-V: (will reducing estrogen really help me that much right now?)
I was thinking on adding Rez-V to my list, but i don’t know if it will do me much good right now.
I get winded going up a couple flights of stairs right now so could prob only get a 10min workout in… more of a quick pace workout that keeps the body in more of an aerobic workout v.s. a stationary workout. To get back into some shape with a good work out regimen i have purchased P90X 10min workout… Might sound lame to some of you but I need to start someplace.
Any suggestions would me much appreciated.
I can’t offer any advice on the supps, probably none are truly necessary. But even modest workouts and, crucially, a good diet should yield good results. Heck, an aerobic workout is a big deal when you’re 340!
I consider REZ-V an overall excellent good health/anti-aging supplement which helps stop aromitization of testosterone into estrogen. I use it like Flameout/FA3 and Superfood as part of my optimal health supplement plan. It’s best considered a long term good health supp.
HOT-ROX Extreme and TRIBEX Gold would be ideal for your fat loss goals provided you are doing your part (which it sounds like you are).

Focus on the basics that you already know you should be doing. For example, cut our junk food and make healthier food selections.
You’re diet is the key to whether you lose the fat, so focus on it while developing consistent training habits.
Don’t get carried away with supplements at this point. Rather, put your energy into learning to eat and exercise to reach your goal.
Creatine monohydrate doesn’t make sense for someone in your position. It won’t hurt, but there are far better choices when fat loss is the overriding objective.

What would these other choices be, so that I can look into them?
Everyone else thx for your responses.
Aren’t you interested in the V-Diet? Have you read the article/program?
Just follow the link on the homepage.
This could be a great way to start your transformation!

I’m not that rich. If i were 240lb it would cost $650 for a month. bit out of my pay range. Instead of spending that kind of money I’ll just work out harder.

Well, between the food you buy and those supplements you just listed, that wouldn’t be that much more expensive. Also, consider the fact that if you do the V-Diet, you’d make a lot faster progress and so you wouldn’t have to be spending as much money over the long term.
For instance, say the way you propose to do it costs you 400$ a month (which I doubt if you’re talking that stuff and protein, fish oil, etc. along with food) and it takes you two months to make the progress of one month’s V-Diet, then you’re spending 800$ instead of 650$ AND you do it in half the time. Just something to consider.
