*.* 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. |

I spent the better part of a year eating back those calories, working the program from well below my maxes and slowly getting back to them. The only thing I really accomplished was putting on fat. Went from 172 to 190, and it wasn't much muscle. So, for now, I've reset low and dropped cals to about 1500-1800 a day for a while so I can trim the fat off and then I'll increase cals as the weight increases. It was a plateau. Not so much in the lower body, but definitely upper. Deads and squats still progressed fine. |

1. Did the program work for you? Did it increase your max significantly? 2. Did the strength gains last beyond the program? 3. What kind of routine did you do following the Russian Squat routine? |

I was doing triumvirate on upper body days. I didn't do any lower body assistance at all or if I did, it was minimal. Incline, rows, pull downs, weighted pull ups, decline and dips were my assistance exercises, obviously split between days. |

Three questions:
1. Did the program work for you? Did it increase your max significantly? You can program to increase your max in easier ways, especially considering I was Olympic Lifting at the time. I tried it for shit and giggles. My max actually decreased secondary to too much workload since I was Clean and jerking and snatching 4x per week. 2. Did the strength gains last beyond the program? Not really much to measure but in short, no. 3. What kind of routine did you do following the Russian Squat routine? I was Oly lifting so back to my Clean/Jerk plus snatches 4-5x per week. I thought about running it again but I prefer slow strength progress at easier workloads over a program that "promises" a greater increase in strength with a shorter window to achieve it but provides a workload that is hard to manage physically. More power to you if it works but be smart and back off at any signs of trouble.

Interesting, can you point me towards the study you read that discusses this?
