*.* 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. |

Thats expected after most of your pushing muscles are exhausted. Thats why he wants you doing bench first, that will be your strength measurement. As your bench increases, your accessories may not *seem* to increase much, if any, because your exerting more force on that first movement. For the accessory stuff just focus on really feeling the muscle, it doesnt know how much weight is on the bar or machine, just how hard they have to work.

Nice work. Are you not able to get outside much? I would lose my mind doing nothing but indoor cardio.

These guys probably know better than me, but I read somewhere where working out screws with your melatonin levels, so it makes it tough to sleep. Quote:

I'm outside a lot playing with my kid during the day. I take walks with him and my wife but I haven't been really counting that.

As long as you're doing it somewhere, that's great. I really struggle to run indoors. I'm fortunate to have a nice, new trail right next to my house that loops around a lake. The scenery is great (that includes some of the other runners I see), and it's a nice way to zone out for an hour.

Yup. I never exercise past 5pm or so. I also usually pour my first cocktail about then, and I don't workout after a drink either.

I was talking to a buddy in the gym the other night and I thought he was looking not quite with it. His preworkout for that night? A Percocet and a few beers.

I have no problems working out at night. I love going for a run after dark.
I prefer to lift over lunch, though. |

Late is the only time I can work out. My daughter goes to sleep around 7 so I like to get home from work, spend some time with her & the wife, and then hit the gym around 730-8 till around 10. I have a lifting partner who is on the same schedule, and he just missed getting his IFBB pro card. This kid has been whooping my ass so I prefer to eat all day long before our workout, and suprisingly I still use a pre-workout stim as well as ammonia caps pretty much every night and have no problem passing out when I get home.
