Looking for a good website or workout plan.?
I am 250 and 6'2. I am a larger guy in high school and was a football star.. now that my football and high school career is over i noticed i slimmed down a little bit not in a good way though. I haven't done my football workouts mainly for the reason in those i try to build mass. I Use to be 270 and be able to put up 350. Anyways i have lost weight but i don't feel like put together like i was. When i was 270 i still felt very muscly and good posture in a weird way. But now i slimmed down a little bit, haven't worked out in awhile, feel like a slob, and would like to continue to slim down but not loose anymore muscle like i have. Any suggestions on workout plans on like what to do or maybe even a website would be appreciated thank you.

Yeah, do 180 degree sit ups and handstand push ups (with a wall support). they will make you feel great because you feel the complete control of your entire body (despite what gravity has to say about it).
