*.* 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 need to try some pull-ups. Haven't done them in years, and I need to build my chest. Sitting behind a desk all day gives a man bitch tits. I thought the push ups would help, but I need to do something more.

Pull-Ups will entirely rape you of your manhood. I have to be honest, I can't stand them. But they're one of the best exercises, no question.

people would be suprised at the physique changes from focusing on training heavy, sprinting, quality whole foods. I wouldn't even count a calorie and just follow that for 6 months. |

Diet. Pull-ups aren't going to help with that. Pull-ups aren't a chest exercise, anyway.

Calorie count. Get on a solid routine for a while, and use the time that you are doing the low weight stuff to really focus on your diet and losing fat. Then, you can slowly increase the calories as needed.

thus far, today - I had one Ensure, A large Coffee - w/ a little sugar.
I had an 8" unwhich from Jimmy Johns w/ ONLY turkey - tomato wrapped in enormous lettuce leafs. Not great - but did the trick - I just ordered 50x Met Rx Bars - i realize there are better protein choices, out there. but I wanted to get something enroute fairly quickly. |

yes - I should be on track in no time - I only really need to lose that 8 -> 11 Lbs. Actually I'm still a 34 waist, so i'm not enormous, or anything.

Won't happen. Pull-ups work your back and your biceps. If you want to build your chest you need to bench. You will never build your chest doing pull-ups.

The close grip Pull-Up (index fingers and thumb touching as they circle the bar facing away from body) is very pectoral intensive.
