*.* 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. |

this go around, my plan is reverse of what it was, yesteryear.
I'm going to limit myself to 5 miles of running per week, yet the fitness side of things will be slow and smooth, yet increased and very consistent. |

Most quality powders don't have sugar. Trutein, optimum nutrition . . .

I usually go milk post workout as some carbs are good and it tastes a hell of a lot better. I always mix with milk unless I am watching carbs in which I go water.

Dude, even Herschel Walker gave that up in the late 80's.

On a side note, I haven't been to the gym in about 5 days due to school and the holiday. I feel like a lazy piece of shit but whatevs. YOLO. |

I do about 5 miles a week of walking, running hills, and I am actually beginning to get ripped again. Just make sure when you do the cardio you attack and get your heart rate up big time, that is what matters most I think.

Nope, most have 1-2 grams per 20-30g protein. Negligible amount.

I go with water. Myofusion, Trutein and Optimum Nutrition don't need milk to taste good. Most of their flavors are pretty boss as is.

Well its been 2 weeks of switching over to paleo style eating and I'm liking the results so far. Only down from 225 to 221 however and look a lot dryer and I'm smashing my 5/3/1 weights. Hill sprint stamina seems about the same, I will try the prowler tonight. Also started growing a beard which my wife hates, and I picked up a 23yo blonde hottie as a lifting partner. No idea how it happened but she wants to get strong lol! Those ****ing short tights with the knee high crossfit socks are distracting. I will get some 'form' videos up for you guys tomorrow night on squat night.
