*.* 2013 General Fitness Thread *.*

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:

http://madcow.hostzi.com/5x5_Program/Linear_5x5.htm

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.

The Strawberry and Extreme Chocolate Milk (tastes just like a yoohoo) are both fantastic.
You beat me to it. It has nearly double the calories of the V-Core protein, but it DOES taste amazing.

Trutein is better than all the proteins listed. They actually disclose the ratios. In any case, this is all small stuff. Don't sweat it. Just lift heavy and get plenty of protein. The rest will take care of itself.

I don't do heavy lifting. My strength training is mostly pushup/situp variations with dumbbells/kettles from 3-25 pounds depending on the exercise.

I'm busting balls to hit a 400lb bench this year. I had the same goal last year but tore my rotator cuff and couldnt bench from about Feb to October. I'm probably back up to 360-365 right now.

Whatevs. You'll be fine.

And yes, Trutein tastes amazing, particularly the Cinnabun flavor.

I think back to my Navy days; I used to lift for about 45 minutes 5 days a week, then run 3 miles afterwards.

....I couldn't do that now if my life depended on it lol

Seriously, you've got guys over there who weigh around four bills. Are they just supposed to pour they entire container into a give gallon bucket of water and slam it?

That's 13 scoops a day of that shit for just under 400 grams of protein.
I have experimented with a mix of protein amounts and continued heavy lifting over the years. For years I was 180lbs and getting 300 g of protein a day. Tons of chicken, shakes, tuna.

This past year, I continued to lift heavy like I always do and now get between 120-180 g of protein a day. I am gaining strength great right now and I definitely think the extreme high protein diets recommended to many bodybuilders are likely not needed. No harm if you like eating like that (the stress on the kidneys worries are bullshit!) but it isn't a requirement for muscle/strength gains. I still recommend 120-150 g protein for most trying to gain muscle/strength or lose fat.

your body can process only about one gram per lb of current body weight so extreme amounts is a waste of time.

That's what I've read. Unless you're on a Schwarzenegger-like routine, any excess is going to be stored as fat or energy or whatever..

That's about what I'm doing now. I'm supplementing 30 grams a day, and feel like that should be good.

Does anyone on here box or fight (MMA or similar)? I'm not talking about aerobics with a boxing theme like Title Boxing, but something where you actually take a punch.

Drop the weight by 20% and work back up slowly, like 2% per week. Don't overtrain chest. 5 reps or less per set, no more than 3 working sets twice a week.

That should help. Make sure you're getting enough protein and calories. And sleep.
