FBW = full body training. It honestly sounds like he was being lazy sorry. It is easy to have someone do a couple of exercises and while they are resting think of a couple more to throw at you off the top of the trainers head.

I think you should think about doing a fullbody workout with compounds included. Thats just my opinion.

Would you mind giving me an example of a fullbody workout with compounds? I have a pretty good idea of what you mean, I just want to make sure. Thank you.
 
No I wouldnt. Ill get back to you on that one, just going to eat my dinner!
 
Hello BearDrivesCar. I have read most of what you wrote and i can see two problems. You said you eat twice a day, i wouldn't do this as your just starving yourself and most of the time you won't lose weight this way. Try to eat 5-6 times a day but eat small portions. Also consume fruits blah blah blah.

The second thing is you said you could do 2-3 reps on 20lbs dumbells or something. There is no point in doing more you than you can handle. Try 15lbls or 12lbs and do 8 reps.

For the full body workout i would go here, it helped me and is easy to read/understand;

Hey Sarah!

You're right, everyone has been really nice. I'm impressed at everyone's generosity to give advice as well. Thank you. I've tried so many things and heard so many things from people. I just know that everybody's body is different so what may work for someone else may not work for me. But I do like your idea of lifting heavy weights. I usually did but would mix it up with light just so my muscles wouldnt adapt. But I need all the help I can get to develop strength because I dont have it. And in my diet, i drank nothing but water and didn't add salt to anything so my sodium intake was pretty much nonexistent. I just hope to break the plateau soon. But thank you for your advice about the heavy weights. You got a slamming body by the way.

Hey 5pirit, thanks so much for the links, I will definitely check them out. I eat twice a day now due to emotional stress but before when I was in peak shape, i'd eat 5-6 clean meals a day. In the beginning I dropped a lot of weight than after I just plateaued and never got tone. I want to get back into it hard core again but I don't want to do the same things if I'm still not going to get results so I just want to shock my body the healthy way. Thank you again for the links.
