*.* 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 know you guys said diet isn't as important to me right now, but....
I forgot I signed up for steak night at the bar, they do it once a month and you get about a 10 oz steak, baked potato and salad. Now I already lifted and drank a protein shake. Will there be any major adverse affect of me eating a shit load of fat and carbs right now? |

I came away disappointed from my chest/upper back workout because I wasn't exhausted, then I went to wipe my head with my towel after a shower and realized how tired I am right now. Now I'm not as upset.
I guess its just because legs are easier to lift more weight. |

It isn't always about exhaustion. You are lifting weights to get stronger. Keep adding weight to the bar and get stronger. If you want to feel exhausted/sweaty just do cardio (cardio is for pussies). You don't have to be exhausted from lifting weights for it to be a good workout. Change your mindset.

Perceived exertion is NOT how you judge a workout.

The feeling like a man thing was a joke, but please explain what I'm doing wrong so I don't do it again.

That meal put me at about 2500 calories for the day.

Ahh ok. I'm taking all this stuff dead serious and I'm very impressed with what you guys are doing so I am pretty much gonna follow whatever you say.
Someone once told me the best time to workout was before going to sleep and to not eat any fat or carbs with your protein and go to sleep. Maybe it was broscience. |
