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.

i just stopped counting a while ago. i aim for 2lbs of lean protein not including breakfast, figured that would be enough for a day. a pound of lean meat should net you at least 100g protein, and i aim for 50g durikg breakfast, so thats my 250g for the day over 3 meals. throw in some fruit, veggies and good fats and your all set.

Pretty much.

Either way, 1 lbs of chicken isn't that much over the course of a day.

Are you still sumo pulling or did you mix in traditional?

Shit, missed this question since I was owning Sweet Daddy.

Still pulling Sumo. Was in the low 400lbs at bodyweight 183. Hurt my back a bit on box squats and had a busy spring, training took a back seat for intensity. Down to singles near 375 or so.

I take this. My buddy designed them as an alcohol substitute but they are a great sleep aid for me
You just have to find the right dosage which is about 1/5 a shot for me. I once thought it wasnt working so took a full shot. Apparently sometime during the night I took the Nintendo WII out of the bedroom into.the kitchen and tried to cook a waffle with it. He said that was a shit load of Safarin I took.

Not bad for a 40 year old dude, I suppose.

Tell him he needs to work on those triceps, ASAP.

THIS

No delts and no triceps means no heavy pressing. Lewdog is very sad.

**lewdog** · 05-30-2015, 07:54 PM

Started the RTS program. Week one has quite a bit less volume which is good since the frequency of deadlifting/squatting/benching 3-4 times per week will take some time to adjust to. Should be fun and mentally I am ready and excited for this more so than any training in the past half of year.

Hitting mostly main lifts is going to be rewarding as well. I hate curls and all that accessory bullshit anyway. Mike talks about how American Powerlifters have been so focused on all this extra back work with tons of rowing, while the better powerlifting countries (Russia) almost exclusively leave out extra back work. You get a stronger back by deadlifting and squatting heavy. The extra work/volume with things like rows can be counter-intuitive with programs that run high volume dead/squat workout. The recovery from the extra back work decreases your body's readiness for the other lifts which require all those muscles. Makes a ton of sense. So on this run, I am really going to minimize the extra bullshit.
