*.* 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. |

When you guys bench and squat, do you explode up or maintain a slow, controlled motion throughout the lift?

Uhh.. always explode the concentric, and control the eccentric. Even if the weight is heavy (>80% 1rm), you ALWAYS went to fire as fast as possible. I like to aim for a 3 count on the eccentric, except deadlifts. I just drop that shit.

Drop sets:
1. Select a weight that is challenging to you 2. Do some number of repetitions 3. Without pause, reduce the weight 4. Do some additional number of repetitions at the lower weight |
