*.* 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. |

Another question for you guys. How many calories do you think I'm burning during these workouts? I'm pretty strict about 1-2 minute rest time between sets. |

Too much fluff work in those workouts. And no offense, but I'd like to see you pushing some heavier poundages for your size.

Definitely need to get your weight up but it's all good. Not everybody is a gym rat beast.
When you say 4x8 135 do you mean you do 4 sets of 8 reps at 135 pounds or is that the weight you end up at for the final set? You should get some variation in there to push yourself. Otherwise you're just spinning your wheels, partna. |

KC Native - buy startingstrength 3rd edition by Mark Rippetoe and read it cover to cover it may be the best $30 you ever spent.

I'm also working my dead's up too. I had a pretty bad lower back injury (dr said I might have slipped a disc). I'm finally getting to the point where I can push on that lift again. The nagging shoulder and lower back injury are what prompted me to start working out again. I'm finally getting some progress with the dead lifts. I tweaked my shoulder again last Saturday so I did legs Monday and put an hour on the elliptical last night. Quote:

And I just figured out that the app I've been using to track calories does macros too. So not as big a pain as I thought although the database for the foods isn't perfect.

Cleans are the same thing as O/H press. My goals aren't just strength training either. I don't really care what number I'm lifting. I'm trying to get back into general shape and to look better. |

Edit: One of my favorite things to do at the gym is laugh at the people who throw a bunch of weight around with no form. |

Or just sack up and deal with some pain. ;-) I have separated both AC's, have arthritis in both as well as tears in both RC's. I still do heavy bench and shoulder press. I just live with not being able to lift my arm above waist level the rest of the day. |

The problem with O/H press for me isn't actually lifting the weight. It's when my shoulder fails which isn't really predictable. When it fails, I'm usually half way through the rep and I can't control the weight on the way back down. I've smacked myself in the head with dumbbells and lost weights off of a barbell when using that. So, I just avoid doing the exercise. |
