*.* 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: 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. |

As far as goals are concerned, I don't see a reason to barbell bench unless your a powerlifter. you can get plenty strong with dumbells, a bit safer (no spotter required to go heavy) and you can easily change grip/elbow position if you have shoulder issues. To be honest, I know guys that have a sick chest physique wise, and they just do different types of flies. The pectoral muscles job, after all, is to bring the humurus across your chest (fly motion). I'm not advocating not to use it, but if that shit is hurting your shoulder, then don't risk it. DB bench is a compound movement as well. edit: to anyone that is having shoulder issues, whether its rotator or impingement.. double up on your rear delt work. face pulls, rear delt DB flies, reverse pec deck, band pull aparts. Do em.. alot. Don't wait for 'shoulder' day or whatever. Do them as much as possible. Last edited by Aspengc8; 04-15-2015 at 08:28 AM.. |

In other words, I can actually press a heavier weight than I'm capable of getting into the pressing position. I feel like this limits my ability to have as good of gains as I should with dumbbell chest exercises. Any advice on cleaning up the movement to get the bells into pressing position? I could always ask for a spot and some assistance in getting the bells up for the initial press, but I usually prefer to work independently.

I often have the same issue, although I'll usually do the flat bench dumbbell press. I find that a bit easier as I can essentially just fall back with the weights in hand. It doesn't require so much work as to raise it to your shoulders on incline. But still.. Annoying. |

I'm engaging in a general sedentary lifestyle. Fitness is something I do once a month.

Achilles has improved a bit, but still needs rest. I need to look at some new shoes, however.
In the past I usually wore New Balance or Asics for my wide feet, as they come in wider widths. The achilles tendon issue is giving me pause and making me look at better overall running shoes, however. Any advice?
