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:

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.

Still finding time to work out, but it's not easy.

Whiner. Try getting up at 3:30 AM to go bust ass at Amazon.

On the plus side, I'm getting RIPPED.

Oh, sorry.... I mentioned the PEDs in a (failed) attempt to clarify- while I am very lean and have a fair amount of muscular development, I do not look like the guy in that photo. He is much more muscular than me. I just didn't want anyone thinking I was making some bs internet claim. I do pretty well for a natural lifter with average genetics, but I am not hyperdeveloped like the guys you see in bodybuilding competitions.

I also run a terrible 40, in case anyone is interested. Something like a 5.12, lol.

But 14 inch penis, correct?

Hit a PR on squats today 325.

Not bad for only being able to do 180 back in March.

Silock · 08-25-2017, 09:59 PM

Nice!

Push a little too hard today at the gym after spending the last five days on a very low calorie diet purge with tons of water and decaf tea.

When I finished my 63 minutes on the elliptical and was going to lift, got the tingling in my ears and arms and saw stars from being dehydrated and not enough in my system.

By the time I got home and took a shower my arms were dead and tingling and drank a gallon of water so far.

Tomorrow I go back to eating 1200-1500 calories.

Once about 17-18 year ago, I worked out way too hard, lost tons of water via sweat as I sweat like a fat black whore in church, got dehydrated, thought I was going to throw up as a I got nauseous, sat on the toilet in the gym, started to tingle, my ears went deaf and I passed out. Not sure how long I was out but when I woke my legs were numb from sitting on the toilet too long.

I know the onset feeling and luckily got enough water in me at the gym to hold off until I got home. It's a horrible feeling.

**Buehler445** · 08-30-2017, 10:34 AM

Holy shit scho. Be careful man. That is no bueno. I've gotten nauteous from dehydration before but never passed out.

I really think that has made me not handle heat as well since.

Just be careful. That's not anything to mess with.

How many calories is "very low calorie"?

**Dunit35** · 09-01-2017, 03:55 PM

Machine bench or dumbbell bench?

I do dumbbell bench. I'm not strong at all so don't make fun of me. I do 2x10@45 each arm, 2x10@50, 1x10@55, 1x6-8@60, and 1x3-4@65. Today I was able to get 1x2@70.

I weighed in at 176 today. I haven't lost any since July, which I prefer to not lose anymore. I'd prefer to gain about 10 lbs of muscle. I have had zero luck in that department.

Silock · 09-01-2017, 04:24 PM

Doesn't matter. Just keep trying to push the weight up and you'll make progress.

Always start with free weight movements if your goal is added muscle. In fact, I think it should be this way for most people. So DB or BB press. If you want to add machines do them after, as finishing exercises and for higher reps if you are concerned about the "pump."

**Buehler445** · 09-01-2017, 07:38 PM

dumbbell. Lew is on point as usual.

It will give you more functional strength and an overall better workout because you have to stabilize the dumbbell/bar.
