*.* 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. |

Then why are you worried about adding 1000 calories to diet on lift days?

If you want to lose pudge then keep calories the same and lift. When you lose the fat you want then add calories if you want to add bulk to your frame.

Once consistent with the load/stress of lifting, adjust your diet with more calories to add muscle or calorie deficit to lose fat. I say give it a good 2-3 months of just getting consistent lifting before tweaking the diet at this point.

I've got a starting beginners upper/lower split that I think would be a good base for you. PM me Buck. I might not get to it tonight but I surely will in the next few days.

I've been out of the carb game for so long, I don't really know what is good for me. Trying to keep insulin spikes to a minimum. |

And yes, you can do cardio on leg days. We actually end every leg day with prowler work. you want to eat at or around your maintenance level calorie wise, and use the lifting to create the deficit. This way you completely starve yourself and sap your strength levels. Maybe even look into some of Lyle McDonalds programs like Sli did. He also has a 'generic bulking program' that i heard works well. Last edited by Aspengc8; 08-16-2013 at 07:08 AM.. |
