*.* 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. |

Over the last few weeks I've noticed my belly seems to be getting bigger. But I've only gained two lbs in the last couple of months. It's getting more difficult to see my D again.
It's got to be my eating habits as they are not good. Still keeping the carbs down but not like before. I do a shit ton of ab work every week. I usually count my abs and I've ranged from 1700-2000 per five day workout week. Is it possible that too many abs are making me more bloated? Or is it purely my eating habits? I did decide to count my run mileage this month and got it to 37 miles. Not too shabby. Wish I had been counting them when I was running several four milers. |

Do you think doing all that ab work makes you have a smaller or less fatty midsection?
Because it doesn’t. That’s way too much ab work. Want a smaller midsection, change something in your diet. All that ab work you’re doing is wasted time.

Try planks. They get the abs done quickly and safely.

Alright resident experts,
I’m back in the gym for the first time in several years and need some advice on a routine that won’t murder me. As a background I’m familiar with most of the lifts except I’m not too comfortable with deadlift, we didn’t do it a lot in school. But it’s been awhile. I’m definitely starting light. I also am kind of broke down. I have arthritis in my knees pretty bad. Hopefully I can get at least some squatting done. I’m hoping if I can get some weight off it will help the arthritis. I also have plantar faciiitis in my feet which sucks balls. I don’t think it should affect lifts much but plyometrics may be problematic. In the past I’ve had trouble in my shoulders. If I run over a quarter mile I get shin splints. God typing all that out my body is shit. I need a new one. My goals are as follows: 1. Don’t get hurt. I have too much shit to do that requires manual labor to be out of commission. That is the priority. 2. I’m not really interested in getting huge or giant gains or any of that stuff. I’d like to look better in the mirror, sure. But what’s finally motivated me is I need to extend my usefulness physically. Everything is starting to get harder than it used to be and I probably need to focus on my health some too before it gets bad. My doctor is starting to grumble about cholesterol and I’d like to avoid medication if I can. 3. I would like to improve my balance some. It sure seems like I don’t trust myself, especially at heights anymore. I’m sure getting weight off and improving strength will help but if there is anything specific I can do I’m down. 4. Establish a routine that is sustainable when field work starts. I need to keep workouts fairly short. I can drag them out now but come March I get busy as hell. As far as what I plan to do is I’ve been hitting the bike for a few days and I plan to ease into weights. I’ll probably keep some cardio in after I work the weights in. They have a pool that I will use when they open it but I plan to hit the weights as long as I can keep from hurting myself. So any recommendations? How should I group the lifts? What should I avoid with my junk knees? Which lifts should I focus on first? Thanks! |

Have you ever thought to ask a DR. vs. a Chiefs fan?
One seems to be considerably smarter than the other. Quote:

I spend more time stretching and doing cardio at the gym than doing reps but when I do a full workout (2X a week) it is a circuit that a trainer put together for me. I suggest starting out with such a circuit at your gym.
I make a better lineman that a WR so I wanted to be leaner and not as bulky. I do a lot of reps without the straining, burning reps at the end and I don't pay attn to weight just that it has a good resistance. I hit the gym for a full workout 2 days a week and work the other 5 with medicine balls and stretching for what seems to be forever, using them for resistance and then hear for the old trustworthy Arc machine for a 15 minute cycle. I go back and stretch again with the balls or sometimes I will jump on a machine and do abs or curls just whatever I am in the mood for. Stretching using a big ass (30Lb) medicine ball is a lot better for building core strength than one might expect. Buy buying a couple of balls you can get a good core and balance workout at home anytime. See the basic section at the bottom. https://greatist.com/fitness/25-must-try-medicine-ball-exercises
