Y’all I’m in crappy shape. 5’8 guy and 220lbs, none of it muscle. Advice for starting and getting in shape? I’d like to build muscle, get thick in a good way, and have a girl who wants to be married in 2 years so I have a deadline to meet

Yea but you shouldn’t be lifting to get yourself a girl. That’s just a temporary goal. If you wanna lift long term, gotta set long term goals.

Start eating in a calorie deficit, not a ton but maybe eat like 500 or so less calories than what you currently eat while working out and doing cardio. As you see your weight loss slowing down after a little while of the 500 calorie deficit you can drop it some more but don’t drop it a lot at once.
