*.* 2013 General Fitness Thread *.*
Welcome to 2013! Now get your ass in top physical condition!
**From the 2012 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. |

I just had a health screening done to switch up my life insurance. I received the results in the mail & everything was normal except globulin levels. Has anyone ever heard of that? Normal is 2.1 - 2.8 & mine was 2.0. Dr Google tells me that it could be a number of things. (malnutrition, liver disease, kidney disorder, cancer....) I've made an appointment to talk to my doc about it, but that's a few weeks away.
I'm posting this here because I wonder if it might have something to do with my workout routine. I've been working out really hard lately & I'm probably not getting enough rest. (I've been getting quite exhausted lately) It's also got me wondering about my diet. My typical day is: Breakfast - Cliff bar & coffee. (I make eggs if I have time, but that usually doesn't happen) Lunch - I work out over lunch so I usually just have a protein shake & another Cliff bar. Dinner - Meat & a lot of veggies. Snacks - Throughout the day I snack on apples, almonds, and maybe another cliff bar. Drinks - I drink coffee in the morning, but I just drink water after that. (unless I'm having some beers in the evening) Have any of you ever had any experience with this at all? I was kinda hoping it was a common thing for really active people. I've never even heard of globulin & it's got me a little freaked out. |

Sounds like you are too active for your protein intake.

Need more protein? I can add that. Is that an observation of the diet or specific to the globulin deal?

Managed a single at 305 on the bench this morning- I've done it before, but it is a very good lift for me. Not sure the Russian Bench program did much. Likely start the 5.3.1 next week. I'm determined to press 315 one of these days!

Perhaps breaking up the intake more will help you. It looks like you're getting it in mostly big lump sums. Maybe your body doesn't respond well to that.

I'll give it a shot. Dr. Google freaked me out a bit.

Walked over to Target for lunch.
Nothing sounded good. So, I got a chobani yogurt and a Naked berry protein shake. Man. Terrible. EDIT - The shake, not the yogurt. Last edited by Ceej; 07-08-2013 at 03:24 PM.. |

The slow progression of 5/3/1 is much better but because people are usually in a hurry for strength gains, they don't see how awesome it would be to add 30 lbs to your bench in 6 months but think a 6-8 week program will get them there. It usually doesn't! I benched 315 once when I was Olympic lifting. Coach then made me stop benching because my shoulders were getting too tight for the snatch. Closest I have come now...300.
