*.* 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. |

Again, thanks for the suggestion to go to machine for shoulder press.
It has sped up my shoulder rehab tremendously. I'm almost back to being able to sleep on my side without feeling a ton of pain. I still get some soreness and pain when I try to push hard on the weight for shoulder press or go harder on pull ups/pull downs but that has gone down a lot. It's also helped my bench a lot. I altered my approach somewhat. WU: 135x8 195x6 205x6 205x6 205x6 I can usually hit all 6 reps on the first of the 205 sets. I'm able to hit at least 4 on all of the rest (I go for 6 and try to hit that number every set). Some days are better than others. Just for reference, I was doing 4x6 @ 185 about 3 weeks ago and struggling to get through all the reps. |

My 1RM is currently 265 but it is not strength that is limiting me. It is shoulder stability. Can't wait to get them repaired!

+1 for the 'full-house' look. No need to cut at all.
have you tried reverse grip benching? It's the only way I can bench without AC joint pain right now. |

I only weigh 160 so 265 is decent either way. But yes, pre-pain I was a bit higher. 275-280 range.

Dunno what it is about the bench I bought (Gold's Gym thingy from Wal Mart), but lifting is a lot harder on it than at the gym. I'm all for it as the challenge is nice, though.
Vastly preffering working out at home so far.

You only weight 160 in the photo?
That means you either have chicken legs or are 5'2"??? Which is it?

It's been two weeks (I think) since I posted. I've been battling a plateau the last 3 weeks, hanging around around the 291-290 lb. mark.
Finally busted through today, weighing in at 283 lbs, 13 oz. This week I really stayed disciplined on my eating habits (that's been consistent throughout), but mixed up my cardio this week, using my mountain bike, stationary bike, and now introducing speed walking. Was a bit nervous with my Achilles surgery last summer, but all's good. So that's a 7 pound drop from last week, and a total of 134 pounds from my high weight of 417, leaving me 58 pounds (RIP DT) from my initial goal of 225. I'm 265 days away from hopping on my bike and riding in RAGBRAI. |
