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.

And I actually know a guy that got mercury poisoning from eating tuna for every meal. He was a little nuts.

You have to eat multiple cans a day to get Mercury poisoning. Unless you're a pregnant woman, you can eat plenty and be fine.

I love the protein amount and the cheapness but I hate the taste. I'll go on spurts where I will eat a few cans a week to increase my protein numbers. Then not touch the shit for months. I'll add other things to it and it still isn't great. I feel like I am just choking that shit down.

In two weeks, I will be going for a new single rep PR on my dead lift. I haven't tried above 225 yet, but I've done that for 4 reps. I'm trying to wrap my mind around 255.

ThaVirus · 11-07-2014, 02:01 PM

You seem to be progressing insanely fast on dead lifts.

I envy you.

I trainer says he thinks I was meant to lift heavy things...lol. Not that I'm going to be able to hit 255, but I'm trying to believe that I can. Convincing myself I can do something is half the battle!

Cardio day. Time to go bang out 4.5.

Silock · 11-09-2014, 11:50 PM

Need some help. Every time I bench, no matter what angle, I feel like I'm getting a pinched nerve in my hand from the pressure of the bar on my palm. I don't want gloves, but is there some kind of pad I can use to alleviate the pressure on my palm? I don't want to drop the bar on my face because my hand failed to maintain grip.

255 is right in the ball park of the single you should be able to hit. Grip and rip!

**luv** · 11-10-2014, 08:35 PM

Man. I'm not exactly sure why I missed leg day last week, but I sure did feel it tonight. Walking down the stairs may hurt just a little bit in the morning.

NewChief · 11-11-2014, 08:19 AM

For whatever reason, I had like 2 months of putting in jack and shit for work. I lost a ton of strength. Yesterday, I pulled 365X3 again, which is where I was before my hiatus.

Mixed feelings: great to be back, but annoyed with myself for letting things go for that long.
