He has to think about his heart first. In obese people, the heart has to work extra hard dealing with any type of exercise. Talk to a nutritionist.

Go to bodybuilding.com and they have people just like him that can answer questions and help him do it safe . Plus he should get a full physical before going to hard at it .

My man, tell your buddy to focus on putting the excess weight that he has, off before he begins a heavy muscle-building routine. He can do this through low weight-high rep exercises (20-30 reps/set) He is putting unneeded stress on his organs (namely his heart) if he attempts too much without proper preparation (ie. losing weight) The muscle that he puts on, if any, will be unnoticeable due to the layer(s) of fat lying above them. Granted, some fat will be burned away during exercise, but nowhere near as much as with a cardio-weightloss plan.
It all begins with diet, and if he is obese, as you suggest, and he is pulling in a surplus of 3000 calories/day..his gains will be minimal, while his risks are put through the roof

First of all your friend does not seem to know the proper way to build muscle and lose fat at the same time. He needs to cut down on his carbohydrates, which include foods made out of white flour and sugars. He needs to eat 100% whole wheat or multigrain foods, but not in a overindulgence manner. He needs to use light weight until he acquires enough strength to go a little heavier. To sum it up he needs to cut down on his caloric consumption and eat plenty of vegetables and lean cuts of meat, which contain protein. Last but not least getting plenty of cardio on a daily basis is of big importance! Cardio meaning walking or riding a stationary bike and doing outdoor activities to omit bordem!

LOL….sorry i had to laugh.
i thank you very much for this question because i had just got back yesterday from a clinic in southeast Idaho, to write a paper about the busiest weight loss practice in the region.
the way they attacked obesity AND I QUOTE what they told me “Muscle is the secret to not only what we all strive for, but the solution to the obesity problem” i strongly belief in that and have seen greet results on my clients(i’m an educated trainer).
As outlined in many excellent fitness articles on the internet, total energy outflow is the sum of resting energy expenditure (REE), the thermic effect of food (TEF) and the energy used related to exercise (TEE). Under most circumstances, REE is the largest component of total energy expenditure (2).
A number of factors direct REE such as your age, height, genetics, environmental temperature and muscle mass, the only controllable one of the list is your muscle mass. Muscles control REE by the synthesis and break down of muscle protein, so the more muscle you have, the more turnover, the greater number of calories expended.
NOW what that means is that the more muscle you have, the more calories you will burn. That is a fact and that is the best way to eat at ur stubborn fat storage thats been there for years.
BEST OF LUCK TO YOUR FRIEND

I know that if your working out, you either want to have a little extra fat on you, or be eating a lot. So long as you have one you should be fine.
