I was at the time 5'8" fat 230lbs, was later bulked "wish I went for ripped" 230lbs of muscle eating around 10k calories, curled 160lbs slowly so all work no swing, 180lb inclined press also. Diet is everything I made for 2 meals 2 lbs of skinless chicken, large box uncle bens brown rice and family sized can cream of mush room soup. I made a casarole and was described as inhaling it. I could eat anything and not gain a pound. Later after injury so lifting out went up to 260 fat and weak, now just over 210 leaned to drink water often and accidentally that fasting works when done fasting by changing stomach bacterial makeup to more fat then sugar urges. I still can't do a pushup but I'm making myself do stuff even with pain. It's like the old joke. It's all mind over matter, it I don't mind then it doesn't matter. Just work through it since if it doesn't injure you then you gained for the next time. Huge warning since many think like I did it doesn't matter. Exercise carefully your rotor cuff muscle groups. If your shoulders get worn then you cannot just fix them then forget about them. Make sure you care for those joints since if they're weak and you're pressing you could be wearing them out and not even realizing it till they pop and grind daily and ache all the time. Also I found flexing to warm up but avoiding stretching works for me best BUT you must do full range motion as in let that bar sit on you chest to stretch when warm or hot to make sure you're not over tight and can swing arms loosely without tightness, very big oversite for myself. Now hamstrings they say toe touches, well try instead my own method, bend 90 degrees at the waist with knees slightly bent and then do squats no weight, you then stretch the hamstrings painlessly and you don't put wear on lower back disks with the hip movement. Try this once when not tight and you'll see bent over squats I'll call them don't exercise the back or injure it but will loosen back of leg painlessly with far less effort then toe touches do and you can touch your toes this way also. If you have pain in top of buttocks "beltline then squat down and sit on heels and just stay like that. Told by doctors to do this or that stretch and get injured doing their perfect routine, just squat fully and stop at bottom or even touch floor with hands in front of you.
