Role: Bodybuilder
Goal 1: Learn How To Health & Fitness
• Learn Nutrition
○ Read the 8ch /fit/ sticky
○ Read the 4ch /fit/ sticky
○ Read the stickied threads on bodybuilding.com's nutrition subfora
○ Read the nutrition section on nerdfitness.com
○ Read the nurtition sections and videos on scoobysworkshop.com
○ Go to local library and read books about nutrition, vitamins, minerals, etc.
• Learn Exercise
○ Read the /fit/ stickies and other stickies and so on as above
○ Go to local library, etc.
○ Watch instruction videos on various exercises like Scooby Werkstatt, Rich Piana, Hodge Twins, Elliot Hulse / Strength Camp, Jim Wendler, John Candito, etc.
○ If interested in weightlifting, read Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe, the gold-standard of instructions on squats, bench press, etc. but please ignore the nutrition "advice"
Goal 2: Get Fit
• Get Less Fat
○ Eat Better
◘ Make one small lifestyle change to eating habits per week, like "this week I shall not drink soda" and the next" and the next week (while still doing last week's goal) "I shall put anything back on the shelf that has more than 200mg sodium per serving", etc. Do this before doing anything else for about a month or two to not overwhelm yourself too quickly; don't start calorie-counting and scanning all food items you're about to buy for words like "hydrogenated" and "high-fructose corn syrup" in the ingredients list just yet. Stick with small weekly goals for about two or three months before moving on to the next ones on this sub-Goal
○ Calorie-Count
◘ Learn your TDEE, decide how many calories you can go below without getting hungry (experiment with which foods/food combos keep your feeling full/sated longer that aren't calorie-dense, such as oatmeal with blackberries, or maybe you find you're good for hours with three small baked potatoes with like 200 calories of butter or coconut oil and a small bowl of homemade chili
◘ MyFitnessPal.com and app, track your calories
◘ blah blah blah
○ Moar Cardio
◘ Get Stationary Bike, ride it while watching animu before work.
blah blah blah
• Get Stronk Liek Bull (because more muscle mass = faster fat loss because you've raised your TDEE/BMR (you'll have learned what these mean while D&C'ing Goal 1), and is healthy overall for e.g. hormone regulation and fighting off disease and the aging process for reasons as yet little understood by science; you don't want to be the guy who loses 150 lbs but still ends up looking flabby and useless and feeling like crap all the time)
○ Decide if you're going to join a gym, or do home workouts, or both
○ Decide what at-home exercise equipment you need for your workout program (oh yeah, make Decide Workout Program as a sub-goal perhaps under some other goal like Planning Before Executing and complete that before moving on to Get Fit), and like, I dunno, customworkoutplanner.com or research or look through nerdfitness.com and/or bodybuilding.com forums to see what you think would work for you)

◘ Buy Resistance Bands, Weight Plates, Small Barbell, etc.
◘ blah blah blah I'm sure you get the idea now, friendo; this post has already taken way too much time
