Welcome to 2012! Now get your ass in top physical condition!

**From the 2011 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.

It is me, but my highest weight is 330.

that's impressive dude...seriously, my old roommate did pretty much the exact same thing and he's a ****ing stud now

I'm really hoping to get into the best shape of my life, as well...next 3 months is going to be nothing but gym.

Second week of P90X...kicking my butt.

Hell yeah, once you get that gym routine down after a couple months you can just feel how much healthier you are and how much better you look.

You're going to run out of time if you seriously dedicate yourself to two lifts. But, try it.

Add 2x12 or 3x8 of the following:
Monday - Incline bench
Tuesday - Face pulls
Wednesday - Decline bench
Thursday - DB Pullovers
Friday - Plank Rows
Saturday - add nothing
