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:

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.

It's quarter squats followed by presses to nose level, right?!?! LOL

I can standing strict press 135x8 on a good day with bar to clavicles each rep. Not impressive but I'll call out jokers on that lift too.

I wouldn't talk it if I couldn't do it.

Like 135 is a big deal? And no, I don't bring my ass cheeks all the way to the floor, but I'm not curtsying the mother****er either.

If it's a strict, full range of motion press than yes, 10 reps is good. Most use leg drive and stop the bar at midface however. One of the worst performed lifts in the gym next to squats, which you should be hitting parallel or lower.

But 6ft, 178 is string bean pussy territory unless you're rocking a sick 6 pack.

Well your calves should closely match the size of your arms, if not bigger.

Bigger, just slightly.

I hate 'chicken legs'. So, I have to work those sons of bitches hard to get the build.

Edit: I'm 5'8", 188 right now

Hmm. Guess I remembered wrong. My b.

My calves are a little bit bigger than my arms (not when flexed though) and I feel like my legs should go in the fryer.

**** calves, man.

I think most of the heavies in my gym are either on maintenance or permanent de-load. I'm like, how the **** did you get so big lifting so little weight?

I hate doing legs, but I hate having chicken legs more.

I may have somewhat exaggerated my calf size in comparison to the skinny lad's two arms, but I stand behind everything else.
