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.

Silock, out of the gate in 2012, I have two concerns, ok 3 - Pecs, sholders and core, my legs are already extremely muscular and I want no other fitness there, outside of running. Bring the noise, champ.

Thanks

I'm about to start taking pump3d and superstimulant.

Pump3d™ is the most powerful Preworkout ATP(Strength) and C.N.S (Central Nervous System) Amplifier. By design Pump3d™ will acutely amplify the mind and bodies ability to lift more weight,and do so with a level of endurance and recovery that the Elite Athlete will be in
awe of and truly appreciate. Get the Strength and performance you always wanted.
Pump3d turns your "I-Energy" Into Hyper Drive and you will leave the gym feeling and looking Great.

SuperStimulant™ is a powerful Energy Enhancer and Fat Burner. It is in the class of Clean/Stronger stimulants but is still safe and non-jittery.
SuperStimulant™ increases your metabolism and controls your appetite Safely throughout your day.
It Mimics ephedrine's benefits (ECA) without the Side Effects, and works via similar/same pathways for Dramatic Fat
Loss.

I'm about to rule out everything not named, chicken brocoli and water and yogurt.

Simply Red · 01-03-2012, 01:59 AM

I'm going to report in, I'm going to use this as a log, and I WILL adhere to my original plan.

I'm IN!

Just signed up for an 8 week bootcamp program that starts 1/9 at 5:00 am. That means 5 days a week at 5:00 AM for 8 weeks. I'm excited about the workout but not looking forward to waking up before 5, but its the only time that would work for me. Hope to be in the best shape of my 35 years by the time it's all said and done!

memyselfI · 01-03-2012, 07:18 AM

Finish my yoga teacher training and start teaching. Continue my yoga and pilates and core practice. Pick up weights again now that my elbow has improved. Find some enjoyable cardio until the spring and then it's back outside.

allen_kcCard · 01-03-2012, 07:30 AM

Nice chest excercise today. Incline dumbell, decline barbell, then flat bench. Then some pushups that were wonderfully agoninzing after the rest of it.

TheGuardian · 01-03-2012, 07:39 AM

Squat - 660 no belt, no wraps
