I was thinking of setting him up with the big three, and get him to focus more on proper form while he just does high-volume low-intensity.

I Figure that with a couple of weeks of him getting proper form down, I could start introducing weight to him. Really happy for him, because he lost 30 lbs by just hiking 6 miles a day, but I also want to help his self-esteem by getting him to build some muscle.

What do you /Fit/izens recommend.

Read pic related, the work needs to be done outside the gym first and foremost.
High intensity and low volume is far better to retain muscle in a heavy deficit.

He's been putting in the work, dieting, walking, etc. Just want to motivate him to start going to the gym.

Destiny will always look like a prepubescent boy with the head of a 30 year old glued on.

He still gets more bitches (and men) than this whole board put together.

obese people don't belong in gyms

Deadlifts will snap his shit especially considering he's fat. Stupid meme exercise
I recommend stair climber instead, then when he's more confident get him doing bulgarians
