*.* 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. |

A group of guys at my gym did this challenge: They loaded their body weight on the squat rack and did as many squats as they could in an hour. The winner did 475 reps. Last edited by Omaha; 03-30-2013 at 11:38 AM.. |

Anyway, I've been lifting 4-5 days a week as usual but have changed my eating habits. I've been really trying to cut high fructose corn syrup out of my diet completely so I haven't had soda or white bread for quite some time. Truthfully, I was only drinking about a cup of soda (cumulative) per week anyway so that wasn't too hard, but the white bread was a killer for me. I like to eat 3 or 4 slices of butter bread with meals for the calories. When I discovered the bread I was buying had HFCS as one of its main ingredients, I immediately switched to wheat bread. I feel like everything we eat is shitty, but it makes me feel better at the very least. |

My problem is I can't get hungry enough now to maintain my current weight. Weed has been helping a lot, but I ran out and I'm considering getting a prescription because of my small appetite, I guess that's a valid reason in CA. Problem is that when I toke, I don't want to workout. I'm not sure what I'm going to do because I don't want to go back to what I was doing before, I'm super afraid of that happening. I think I might incorporate rice into my meals once a week. |

Ummm no, different insulin responses for those completely. And insulin IS an important component of building muscle and carbs should never completely be taken out of a serious lifters diet. Limiting them is the key (for decreased bodyfat) along with proper choices for carbs that don't have as high of an insulin response. Carb timing pre/post workout is best, and I feel they then can be avoided at all others times of the day if you choose but completely depleting glycogen stores for weeks on end for anyone who is remotely serious about lifting is just reeruned.

I could have guessed you'd have something to say about that.
He was actually at 220 when they met and put on 60 pounds while they were dating. Eating out every meal of the day with levels of physical activity approaching Jabba the Hut status will do that to you. Shit, he said she even gained 40 pounds while they were together. |

Deadlifted 255 this morning- pretty pleased with the progress for only doing them two months. Still no pain, except for normal muscle soreness.

My only carb sources to Oats, rice & potatoes. Sometimes I'll make my own pizza with 'wheat' dough, doesn't really matter since I load it up with lean ground beef and eat the whole thing. I've never met (nor seen) anyone with a respectable level or strength or physique that built it low carb or paleo. Like you said, Insulin is one of the bodys most anabolic hormones and to avoid it completely is reeruned. |
