*.* 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:

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.

Maybe he'll let you give him a hand job for a 5 Hour?

I'm not into that kind of thing, so I'm not exactly sure what guys who like guys pleasuring them offer up in exchange for services.

what was that called anyway? and what exactly was it's purpose? For some reason that whole phase on CP was funny, looking back. LOL

I would like a hand-job.

Well, I'm not going to argue with you about working out but I usually spend about an hour and a half in the gym, plus I run the mile and a half to get there.

I always assumed my blood sugar is low or maybe the glycogen stores in my muscles are depleted (I learned that from this thread, yay!). Or maybe it's psychological.

Bulletproof Coffee.

I think you're closer to the psychological part of it.

Look, I'm not saying everyone is the same or everyone must do as I do, but that's not really that much. I routinely fast all day, work out for 90 minutes and then go play a double header in indoor soccer without running out of energy. All without taking in any extra calories during my workouts. It can be done.

But everyone should have enough glycogen in their muscles to last for at least an hour of continuous high intensity training. What's the rest of your nutrition like? It may be that you're simply not eating enough carbs every day to fuel your workouts, and that's why you're having problems.

I'd agree.

I actually never would have dreamed of working out without eating prior, but I read in this thread that a lot of you do it and often feel better for it.

You must not have had your cup of coffee yet this morning...you're a little testy.

And I know what the definition is.

It just seems that you keep throwing out the term "ergogenic" like it's a another thing completely as it relates to caffeine.

I was just curious as to if you had some additional information on it as it relates to an ergogenic, or more than what it is by definition, as, by definition, caffeine basically is the poster boy for the term "ergogenic."

You just keep saying "it's ALSO an ergogenic" and I was wondering if there was more to it than it basically being an ergogenic in the first place.

Just curious is all. You don't have to go nuts about it.

[Silock]

I'm not testy. I just don't appreciate doing other people's work for them. If you know what the definition is, and there's only one, why did you ask?

Caffeine does a lot of things. Things that you are also free to Google.

Okay...

Man, I'd hate to see what happens when your wife asks you to help with the dishes...

Like I said, I was just curious if there was something else to it. At least to me, you seemed to imply by stating that "it's more than that, it's an ergogenic as well" (paraphrased) that there was more to it that just the energy boost/physical increases that caffeine gave you.

I was hoping that there was some benefit there that I didn't know about that could justify my addiction to the drug.

I might look into that. Thanks!
