*.* 2013 General Fitness Thread *.*
Welcome to 2013! Now get your ass in top physical condition!
**From the 2012 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. |

Thanks. I'll do this. I think most of my problem is mental. I'm good on protein and calories. Sleep is a different story.

Either way, just make sure your spotter is paying attention and strong enough to help if you need it. |

I just had a one on one session at my crossfit box. They taught me how to do a front squat. I'd never tried one before this. It felt pretty good. At the end of the lesson, I did a workout.
8 front squats 8 burpees As many rounds as possible in 5 minutes. I would have gotten 4 rounds but I got a few 'no reps' for not breaking parallel on the squat. It was fun. I'm really liking this so far. I can't wait to get through these lessons and start the real workouts. |

Probably because they thought it was your first time, or that you hadn't been working out. I wasn't exactly meaning sore, just a butt kicking workout most of the time. If it's not kicked, then speed it up. One of the reason I love it is you don't do the same workouts week after week, it's different every day and wore out most every time. I did CF for 2.5 years, didn't get sore much, but usually was pretty fatigued at the end. Working my way back after a torn rotator cuff.

so I rock out on the Planet Fitness treadmill and can do my routine no problems...of course I'm beat afterwards but I'm usually not on the verge of death
I do the same routine at my hotel fitness center from time to time and it tells me I run the same distance and I do the same times...BUT IT BEATS THE SHIT OUT OF ME. It's like almost twice as hard for me to finish. I still finish, but at the end...I wonder why I'm so ****ing killed on one treadmill and not on the other? Are all threadmills not created equally? |
