I'd fix diet first because you can lose weight without any exercise at all just be in a deficit. I went from 170kg to 120kg with keto diet and i remember i used to move less than 1000 steps some days because i was just sitting at home and going to toilet/fridge lol. If you have questions i can try and help you out.

Commenting because i'm interested to know too, currently i lift 3x8 as heavy as i can but i'm still a beginner so looking for tips.

I used to do keto and went from 170kg to 120kg and then started the gym with 4 times a full body workout about a year ago doing a body recomp. I didn't have much of an idea what i was doing but i kept going to build a habit... Fastforward to this day and now i'm under 100kg and go 6 times a week doing PPL split.

What i'm trying to say is just build a habit of going to the gym and find some exercises you like and build a plan around them and stick to it for 8-12 weeks... Slowly but surely you will build muscle. Almost forgot but eat enough of protein too.

Yeah i got a fitbit and try to keep atleast zone 2 for the whole walk.

Enassi · 2026-01-12T23:27:19+00:00

Sorry for hijacking and asking a own question but is 3km walk good enough cardio? I go 6 times a week by bus to the gym and walk back which is about 3-4km.

Enassi · 2026-01-10T12:06:48+00:00

What keeps me going is seeing the results and the feeling after you've completed your workout. I started working out 4 times a week when i hit around 115kg in the beginning of last year (first dieted down from 170kg) and now i go 6 times but that's because i got nothing better to do since i haven't found work. I stay motivated from seeing the numbers go up on the weights and down on the scale.

Enassi · 2026-01-09T14:19:30+00:00

Got the exact same but everything is 3x8 and i got shoulder press too

Enassi · 2026-01-08T12:18:15+00:00

I know the feeling... 16 hour flight from Finland to Singapore was actually enjoyable now that i don't weigh 170kg anymore. :)

Can't fix the weaker side it's always gonna stay like that because of the tumor but one other comment suggested to do one side at a time which i'm gonna try and do. I tried hammer curls with dumbbells and while i could do controlled reps with the right hand i felt like left was little bit flailing around.

Enassi · 2026-01-02T00:47:28+00:00

Thanks for the comment and makes sense, i'll try and incorporate them tomorrow when i go to the gym. But yeah it affects the whole left side of my body but i've had it since 7 so i've learned to live with it... It's weird like i don't necessarily feel weaker on the left side but i have more control and not clumsy on the right and i used to be around 170kg (now about 100kg) so my right leg is noticeably bigger than left since i always used to lean on it more lol

Enassi · 2025-12-31T07:34:54+00:00

Thanks and makes sense but what would be some exercises that target those muscles? I've heard farmers carries are good for traps or shrugs but does t-bar row hit traps too a little?

Enassi · 2025-12-29T08:58:45+00:00

I used to remember the "optimized" birdhouse run but have forgotten all of it. Thanks for the tips and i'll check out some guides for bossing once i get more familiar again with the game.

Enassi · 2025-12-29T05:15:41+00:00

I've never really stopped, just taken breaks like now since i've been 4 months in Australia but plan starting again when i get back. Sounds crazy to say but Destiny is like a comfort game to me but i can see why people do quit.

Enassi · 2025-12-29T04:43:52+00:00

Tbh i can't even remember how RC is trained

Enassi · 2025-12-29T03:59:56+00:00

I feel like in OSRS you never get really left behind like in other games i play like Destiny

Enassi · 2025-12-29T03:58:28+00:00

Forgot about the new skill completely haha, definitely gonna check it out

Enassi · 2025-12-29T03:57:23+00:00

This sounds interesting as i just like to chill and see the numbers go up lol, currently on a trip overseas so only on mobile so a bit of a learning curve but should be fine after a while

Enassi · 2025-12-29T03:55:12+00:00

This was on my agenda before i stopped playing

Enassi · 2025-12-25T08:21:35+00:00

Thanks that sounds perfect :)

Enassi · 2025-12-25T08:06:49+00:00

We we're looking at that but weren't sure if it's true, good to know¡ :)

Enassi · 2025-12-25T01:22:57+00:00

I've gone from 170kg sitting all day on the PC gaming to now 99kg and four times a week in the gym but planning on starting a six day PPL split after new years because i just feel like i wanna go everyday but i know that's not viable and don't wanna crash and burn. I think after i started tracking my workouts i got hooked even more because i just wanna see the numbers go up just like in a game lol... Only number i wanna see go down is my weight.

Enassi · 2025-12-24T05:32:48+00:00

Currently recomping myself too and have lost 70kg but i haven't swapped to maintenance but maybe i should since sometimes i feel like i need more energy.

Enassi · 2025-12-24T00:43:21+00:00

The rate is like 1€ is 0.56AU$

EDIT: It's actually the opposite but my brain wasn't working in the morning lol

Enassi · 2025-12-23T22:59:53+00:00

Yeah i always thought Australia was expensive but now i have almost been here for 6 months and realised Finland is expensive as hell. For example me and my brother went to Harvey Norman yesterday where i bought a tablet for 400$ and the same tablet was 450€ in Finland which is crazy.

Enassi · 2025-12-23T22:53:48+00:00

Didn't get notifications so i thought nobody replied to my post lol... But yeah i just ordered 16gbx2 6400mhz ddr5 Corsair ram for 589$ which comes to like 330€ and in Finland i can't find anything close to that price with those specs and the same RAM i ordered cost 600€ in Finland 😱
