Go into a pushup position with your hands on a scale...you'll notice that at 150 pounds you are probably only 'lifting' about 110-115 pounds.

For example I'm 150 pounds and can do up to 30 incline and pike pushups, but I can't make flies or shoulder pressed with 150 pounds.

Bodyweight exercises are good because they can be done anywhere with no equipment. If you are very overweight, you might be too self-conscious to even set foot in a gym. As the above poster mentioned, anybody can do some form of push up or row/chin. Too heavy for chin ups? Stand inside a doorway, grab the molding and do standing rows. I disagree.

I guess my only comment would be that perhaps you were fortunate that you didn't injure yourself while attempting to do these bodyweight exercises while at your heavier weight. Perhaps that is what Brad was trying to impress on those people that are substantially overweight and who are attempting to transform themselves as you have. Again, awesome story and best of luck with the next 50lbs!! LDNY,
