*.* 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. |

10 in 10 seconds. 25 in just under 27 seconds. I do pushups pretty regularly, though.

I just did this as many rounds as possible in 10 minutes:
5 shoulder press (135 lbs) 10 deadlift (135 lbs) 15 box jumps (24 inch box - no springing off at the top - must stand up straight at the top) That was a lot harder than I thought it would be. Anyone want to try it? |

I'm planning on doing 4 or 5 traithlons this season, with my "A" races being Ironman 70.3 Kansas and a fall 70.3 that's TBD (likely Redman in Oklahoma City)
I'm in the last few weeks of my base program before I start my build. Last week I swam about 2.6 miles, biked 35 and ran 17. This week is going to be similar, with a small bump in cycling and running mileage. Swimming is going to take a hit, though, because I think I'm going to skip the pool today and go hit some golf balls |

Just ran my annual 15K. The Jax River Run is the biggest one in the country. 20,000 people. The start looks like folks running from a natural disaster...lol
Missed my time by 4 minutes. 9.3 miles in 1 hour 33 minutes and change. Hardest mile is the last one. Over the tallest bridge in the town. Lotsa fun though. They had bands playing every mile and neighborhoods cheering us on. People hand stuff out; orange slices, ice pops, but the funniest are the guys cooking brats and handing them out with beer...lol

I like the "crossfit: the scientology of exercise" memes.

Just because it's hard doesn't mean it's a good thing to work toward

Try squatting 135LBs for 100 reps in as few sets as possible. You have to do deep squats. My best is 3 sets.
