*.* NEW- 2014 General Fitness Thread *.*
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: 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. |

Russian Bench program which I thought was ineffective and would not recommend. 5/3/1 which I thought was getting strength results but slowly. My friend and I ran it for like 6 or 8 months and I got close to my goal. Might have liked to do a reset and build up again but my friend wanted to switch to a higher volume routine. Not sure how much credit or blame goes to the program, but we were starting to look more like powerlifters -big, but not asthetic- when we were on this program. |

Drop sets. Supersets and Circuits. Pre-fatigue the muscles (flies before bench; extensions before squats; etc.) Or just keep an eye on Craigslist and/or garage sales. |

There are better programs if your into powerlifting, like texas method for example. powerlifting is all about specificity, so the more you train the lift/movement patter, the better you get. |

Have 2015 events been scheduled other than qualifying type events? Looking for something near Springfield (southwest) Missouri for late summer 2015.

I'm going to be starting the 5/3/1 program again with the addition of 1st set AMRAP and first sets last for increased volume work on the main lifts. Ramping up with Joker sets in week 6 before a deload for week 7.

Came across this picture this morning. This was one year ago today. Talk about motivation. It's okay to look back, as long as I don't stare. Onward and upward (in lifting...downward in weight).

Exactly. One thing I discovered in actually getting to the gym, working out, and learning how to push myself is that the only reason why I couldn't do over half the things I never did was because I had myself convinced I couldn't do them before I even tried. They say that there's nothing more satisfying than doing something that someone says you cannot do. I say the one thing better is when that someone telling you that you can't is you. I love proving myself wrong.
