*.* 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. |

We just started the hypertrophy phase of my buddy's program this week. Holy ****. These workouts are epic. I am already better at a lot of my lifts. I've seen decent improvement in my bench and squat already. I'm really excited to see what happens during this phase.
I also entered a new racquetball league. I had to really slow down about two years ago after injuring my back and I haven't been able to play much since then. I don't think I've ever moved so fast on the court. It felt great and I crushed my opponent. That felt pretty cool being the new guy in this league. |

my facility has very basic equipment - a chest press, shoulder press, lat pull down and dumbells up to 50lbs - they also have elliptical and Treadmills.
I am wondering if I should have the burnout appoach - or - if I should go for the most weight w/o a spotter. Just need to go back to the basics here. Any general suggestions or rules of thumb would certainly be appreciated. I'm a n00b again - so handle me with kitten gloves. |
