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.

I would put goals towards what you want to physically look like and how much iron you want to push.

You can look much bigger than your weight so that is not the best goal to have unless you are competing and need to get to a new weight class.

This is easily my least favorite week (/two weeks) of the year. I know that sounds cliche, but I can't even work out because there's a line for any freeweight benches, shit is thrown in places it doesn't belong, and people really don't understand the unspoken rules of the place. I commend each and every person who wants to make an attempt to get healthy, but it's really not enjoyable for me

Archie F. Swin · 01-03-2012, 07:44 AM

On December 1st, I began daily exercise for the first time in 18 years. My goal is to be more physically fit on my 40th birthday (July) then I was on my 35th birthday. I've been averaging 45min activity time on Wii Fit daily and my body is responding. Sometime in the next two weeks, I will be getting 'EA Active 2' which offers a more strenuous workout.

Now, I just need to start eating better, I think 2012 is gonna be a great year.

I work at a gym. I can guarantee you that 75% of the people who started this week will fail. Too much emotion and energy attached to an arbitrary day vs. a long term commitment to their health. If those people were serious about weight loss or better health they could have started it on July 1st just as easily, perhaps more so, than Jan. 1st.

Just waiting out the resolutionists so I can get back to my meager, realistic goals. I've put on 35 pounds, still looking to add 15 more.

Why?

NewChief · 01-03-2012, 09:48 AM

I had a good year last year, and I hope to continue. I've managed to cut my workout down to only 3-4 days a week for 30-45 minutes on those days and still continue to build strength and maintain my lean build. This year I'd like to find the time to workout 5-6 days a week, so I can get more intense cardio in between my heavy lifting days.

For nice pec development hit the incline press movements and fly type movements. He is right on the military presses for shoulders, you may look into arnold presses and some lat raises (both front and side). It you want those nice traps on the shoulders shrugs and a close grip upright row will do wonders as well.

How's the back?

Thanks BCD.

Should be very doable by April. Barring injury of course.

SuperStimulant of the dozens maybe hundreds of other products that contain 1,3 dimeth probably won't be around much longer.

I've never taken a supplement before so I'm pretty curios to try something effective. What's out there that may be worth it?

It depends on what you are trying to accomplish?
