Workout Advice to get stronger and "Ripped"

I was wondering if you guys could help me with some questions. I'm 19 years old and about a year ago I was 300 pounds (I'm 6'6) when I decided I needed to change and lose weight. I'm now down to 225 through pretty much dieting alone but I'm still very soft and have a ways to go. I want to start hitting the gym and building muscle and strength. I have access to a full gym and p90x. My goals are to lose all of the fat I still have before focusing on building muscle and strength. I want to eventually be "ripped" and be able to bench press 315 pounds and squat 405. I tested my maxes for the first time and have a 195 bench and 205 squat. What kind of plan would you recommend I do to eventually reach those goals? I've read around your site and was wondering if you'd recommend any of the routines you lay out here or something else? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Wow, congrats on the amazing progress already! That's seriously impressive. Since you're focusing on fat loss first, maybe prioritize a high-protein diet and incorporate HIIT cardio. As for a routine, check out some beginner strength training programs online - they often have great progression plans. You could even find some inspiration by watching Geometry Dash levels, as you can find your own way to conquer the hardest levels, as well as finding your way to conquer the gym!
