*.* 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. |

Hamstring curls and good mornings. I squat on a different day. Too taxing to do both.

OK guys, need some help.
My dad has been getting cramps at night if he does a bunch of physical work the day before. I kept telling him it was dehydration as he drinks a bunch of coffee in the mornings. So he got a minor stomach bug over the weekend and didn't eat or drink much. He then said he didn't have any cramps when he didn't drink as much. I told him to go to the doctor, which he won't do. I know it isn't much good information to go on, but I'm trying to figure out what the deal is. I don't want him just drinking less water because he thinks it causes cramps. I'm thinking it is some electrolyte imbalance or something. Anybody have any idea what's going on? |

I do deads/squats (variations) twice a week. Workout #1- Deads/Front Squats Workouts #2- Squats/RDLs I definitely wouldn't have done this in my first few years of training but I go pretty heavy on all of it now and have no problems. I've really incorporated more posterior chain work this past year and it's paying off in both squats/dead numbers while my lower back feels much stronger than in the past. I used to do exactly what Silock is saying by never squatting or deadlifting on the same day. You could always focusing on building your endurance across sets with each lift individually during the week and adding in some different accessory work that is less taxing. If you aren't having two legs days a week, you should be and that would solve your problem.

My trainer buddy has a bunch of us doing a 5 week program that he designed. We tested our performance at several exercises (5 rep max on bench, clean, deadlift, # of pullups, time on a metcon workout & 5K time) and we'll test again at the end.

I missed 3 weeks in the gym and my return was terrible. I can't remember the last time I was this sore.
That was the first time I missed more than a week in the last couple of years. |

I did the same thing about a month ago. I was walking around like an old man. One of our coaches offered to let me use the hot/cold tub, heh.

It used to, but your body should get used to it. I usually just get some soreness/tightness in my hips if anything. Larger muscles are usually repaired around the 72hr mark, and smaller muscles quicker. This is why you see a lot of guys hitting bodyparts twice a week, usually 3 times for stuff like calves & arms.

For the first month, legs killed me every time. Now I have minor DOMS the next day, but really it's not any kind of nuisance.

Oh, I never posted this in here but I really ****ed up my back after I did Deadlifts a couple months back. I havent even attempted deadlifts since, and have been doing squats in place on my deadlift day. But even squats I've been doing light weight since I don't want to **** up my back. I am not feeling any soreness anymore when I lift so I think starting next week I'm going to start attempting to do deads and add more weight to my squats.
