*.* 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. |

Just started getting back into 531 after a layoff. Went through the motions for the last two weeks as I'm trying to get the diet dialed in. I refuse to count calories so I'm trying to make smart food choices. Tested deadlift max last night and pulled 465 for a double, probably could have squeezed out two more but I'm not in rush. Still need to test max on bench and overhead press. Been using the Fat Grips on bench and will try them on OHP tomorrow since they cause no shoulder pain.

Type of cardio absolutely matters, as you say. That's what determines muscle fiber type and composition.

Chiefs 5k is this weekend. The finish line is apparently on the 50 yard line at Arrowhead. It should be a nice day and a good time.

Anybody ever try herbalife? Those protein shakes are badass.

My parents did herbalife back when it was basically ephedrine.
They couldn't figure out why they had so much energy and never felt like eating.

Yeah. They don't have the ephdra stuff anymore. It was way back in the day. I'm impressed that the company was able to recover, because they got sued to hell and back for that product.

Have no idea how I ever trained without them! Never started wearing sleeves until after my Oly lifting days but I wish I would have known about them sooner. I used Tommy Kono's and they ripped after 6 months. Have had these a year and look perfectly new.
Olympic lifting will teach you that! I actually notice my hamstrings tighten more on the really heavy singles, before I hit rock bottom depth, than all of the warm up sets, which doesn't allow me to get as deep on the heavy single as I do for many of my other sets. I still think I am deep enough, however

My 1rep max is 315. I can't go quite as deep as that though. Stupid bulging discs.

I'm on board guys - I'll try to report my meals here as much as possible. I have what I believe to be a fairly solid attack-plan.
I started today w/ veggies from the Farmers Market - ground grain fed chicken breast, brussel sprouts, asparagus, fresh broccoli. I bought some salted, roasted cashews, I bought a full moon of CELTIC VINTAGE IRISH CHEDDAR WITH PORTER - This brown waxed Vintage Irish Cheddar mixed with Irish Porter is perfect for any party or as a center piece on any cheese board. When you combine the best Irish Cheddar and the best Irish Porter you get an award winning cheese. Let's see - I got some garlic salt 'bulk' - I bought a carrot juice - fresh juice, some cliff bars and that's about it - I won't entirely eliminate sugar - but fairly close. |
