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:

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 got a pair of Asics that have an arch in them to help my weight be distributed evenly.

I'm ****ing livid though. I haven't ran in over a month because I was told to rest. Today I went for a nice little jog. Didn't even get to half a mile before the same exact pain came back.

Time to see a Dr.

They are different kinds of proteins from meat proteins. Still usable by the body.

They dont spray it with protein, they just add soy, which IMO is crap.

I have been experimenting with low carb (for me less than 100g) but some nights I exercise for 2.5 hours (tennis so not constant movement) so its not possible to survive that with low carb.

Bite me.

What's a vegan gym rat supposed to do if not for soy proteins.

I'm getting fat as shit eating hummus.

nah.

Grains have varying levels of protein. It's still protein. That's how cows, chicken, pigs, etc. get protein.

**Saul Good** · 09-02-2013, 07:00 PM

It's also how protein shakes get protein.

It's possible. It's just not always fun.

Want to lose 11 pounds. I am more on the "petite" side so that is a big swing for me. I have been plateaud out for a long time. If I go out of town for work and eat whatever I want and don't exercise, or if I am in town eating super healthy and exercising, the scale does not budge.

That is why I was considering doing a couple days of super low carb to see if it would shake up my metabolism but the thought of 50 g per day makes me super cranky plus I am concerned it would jack up my metabolism in the long run.

Yeah it just makes me cranky. Maybe I just need to schedule out a few days that are low stress days to just power through it.

You can't permanently damage your metabolism.
