*.* 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. |

Hey lewdog, I'm about to hit the gym and I noticed some exercises say full rest and some say short rest.
What is a short rest? |

I just went 2 min on full rest and 30 sec on short rest, let me know if I should change that. I actually went with your 4 day split lew, I figure that it's going to show results a lot quicker, and I'll get stronger faster, and I get the benefit of going 4 days a week and getting my mind off shit for at least an hour 4 times rather than 3.
Here are my very n00b numbers, but I want to write this down so I can track my progress. Squat - 3 x 5 @ 135 lbs SLDL - 1 x 8; 2 x 6 @ 135 lbs Leg Press - 3 x 15 @ 140 lbs (Plate Weight Only, don't know the sled weight) Leg Curl - 3 x 15 @ 60 lbs Calf Raise - 3 x 12 @ 45 lbs (Plate Weight Only, used seated calf raise machine) I used the Seated Leg Curl instead of Prone Leg Curl machine, don't know which one is better, and maybe I should just stand on a box to do the Calf Raises? The gym was empty, and the guy who was sitting at the front was nowhere to be seen when I was ready to do calf raises, so I couldn't ask what I could use as a platform. Anyways, I look forward to seeing my #'s going up, but today was fun as shit and it kicked my ass. |

Yeah I would say that I didn't have the best form on those SLDLs. I would figure it out half way through the set. Sorta like a golf swing, you got a whole lot of things going on at once and have to lock them all in at the same time.
I might actually lower my weight on that next week and focus on form. Don't want to get injured. Where do you guys get your protein from for cheap? I see its $53 for 5 lbs of ON Whey on Amazon. Is there anything better than that? |

And my SLDL are more a Romanian deadlift hybrid which allows you to pull more weight but keep the lower back arch much easier. Don't think anything related to the knees bending, just keep the bar following down thighs/shins and really forcing your ass back like you are showing someone behind you how nice your ass is. I RDL low 300's for 3-5 reps. Yea, and my back is fine for all the idiots who say the exercise is too dangerous. I do it like this guy's description.

I'll check out that website, but I usually order from Amazon because Prime = winning. 2 day free shipping is so hard to beat. |

I can't. I've given up. I play too much soccer, and it's just too important to me to give up. Maybe if I get injured and can no longer play, I'll work on it.
