This is a seroius post I am not trolling these are actually my stats. I am 6'5" and I weigh 330 lbs my body fat is 19% by dunk test. I was 235 lbs and broke my back. At that time I was running 8-10 w/ a 12 long run on every other Sunday and I cycled twice a week (20-30 miles per ride).
For three years now I have tried to get back in shape. I can run but past three miles my back hurts. I have been cycling and doing spinning classes and I workout a boxing gym twice a week. I am eating a good diet, burning 3500-3800 cals/wk via cycling road and stationary, intake 2500-2800 daily. And I am active otherwise, taking kid to wrestling, cub scouts, etc.
I had my VO2max tested it is 54ml/kg @ 33, down from 62ml/kg @ 26 (i expect that) but my cholesterol is a little wacko yet my doc says no worries hdl is a little low 38, ldl is 68.
My question is: What the heck am I doing wrong? I am eating plenty of veggies not gorging, no alcohol. I could really use some advice....
