*.* 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.

Will Clay follow my PFF numbers now?

I don't do deadlifts though. Not really interested.

I prefer free weights to machines.

And your numbers on them that others can't touch? We're waiting.

Not sure why no deads. Probably best lift you can do.

How tall/body weight?

What are your numbers in free weight movements likes pressing, rows, squats and such? No one cares about your side bends.

But to answer your question, this particular interval is at 1 1/2 years, roughly.

Last interval was 3.

And I suppose I should clarify:

When I say "gains", I don't mean body weight, but the amount of weight I can rep.

Yeah, that's still new. Not a knock, it just is what it is. I wish I could have NOW the consistent gains I got when I first started lifting.

6'-0", 178 average.

Let's see here, I'll give you a few shots. All reps are 3 x 10, current numbers.

Some of my names for lifts aren't correct, but I'll give it a go:

Lower Ab pulls: 115 bell / free weight.

Squat: (2) 45's on each side.

ISO curls, standing, 50lb bell.

ISO curls, sitting, 60lb bell.

Behind the head OP: 35 each side.

Some Hybrid numbers:

ISO lateral: (3)45's each side.

Over head Press: 45 each side, and can do this with a free weight OP too.

Machines:

Tri-extension: 100lb. ONE arm sets.

Crunch machines: "You can't touch this" ( that's an actual weight, you know)

There are dudes who are bigger than me that can't even touch some of the numbers I throw up.

Of course. Who told you otherwise, homeslice?

No one really. I just get a kick out of schooling the full-housers now and again.

LOOK AT HOW BIG I AM!

Yeah, nice mid section there, John Goodman.

I would hope your making weekly gains with the weights that you're putting up.

These were the two that stood out to me as well!

It's quarter squats followed by presses to nose level, right?!?! LOL

I can standing strict press 135x8 on a good day with bar to clavicles each rep. Not impressive but I'll call out jokers on that lift too.

Um, no.

I've been concentrating on CFA studying right now so I've only been hitting the gym once a week. Even then, I'm doing 5X5 @ 205. I was doing 5X5 @ 225.

Edit: I'm 5'8", 188 right now

Hmmmm the weights didn't seem that unreasonable to me. I guess I didn't factor in the 6ft 178.

I can do 4X8 with 95 for overhead press easy right now (like I should increase the weight, but I'm being lazy right now so **** it).

When I get a month of leg workouts in, I will be doing 4X8 with 225 (which is what I was doing before concentrating on the CFA).

I'm disciplined on my form as well. I would rather take off weight and do a lift right than throw it around like an idiot and get hurt.

Sorry, I didn't mean for this to be a big pile-on of you. You're still in the newb gains phase. And that's *okay.* Enjoy it. But sooner or later, you'll start progressing to the point where you celebrate a monthly gain. And a few years after that, you'll celebrate YEARLY gains. Sooner or later, it will slow down, supplements or not.
