*.* NEW- 2014 General Fitness Thread *.*
I guess we filled up the old one... http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=280149
Welcome to 2014! Now get your ass in top physical condition! No one else started it so here it is! **From the 2013 Thread** If you want to get back into lifting, or need a new lifting routine, START HERE: http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wi...inner_Programs If you have questions about the SS programs, look here: http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ Keep in mind that you're a novice lifter for a longer period of time than you think you are. Novice lifting can last anywhere from a few months to a year or two, depending on how hard you hit the weights and where you started. Once you've reached the point where you don't make regular progress on the SS program, you are ready to move on to the intermediate stage, which can last you for a good number of years. Find it HERE: http://madcow.hostzi.com/5x5_Program/Linear_5x5.htm If you're a very advanced lifter (many, many years of CONSISTENT weight training), then there are lot of programs out there, and which one you pick is simply a matter of preference. If you're really that advanced, you should know what works for you and what doesn't by this point. |

I do weighted pull-ups first on my pull days. 50 reps, 10 in the first set, then 5 in each subsequent set, with about 20-30 seconds of rest.

I also vary my grip depending on the subsequent exercises (I'll go narrow grip on pullups if I'm moving on to other wide grip exercises; I'll do wide grip on pullups if I'm moving on to other narrow grip exercises). |

I will get there - so that big plate doesn't come back and jar you in the nads? I have to be honest; that's a concern.

also wonder how much that'd cost - say a 45# plate + belt - $200ish? or less...?

Cool - what would you say that set up would cost at a sporting good place? Do you think say 40# is a good start or is that far more than I think? In a weighted pull-up scenario, obviously.

Start small. 40 pounds like an immediate 25% increase. That's insane. Belts are cheap. Used weight off Craigslist is cheaper.
