*.* 2014 General Fitness Thread *.*
Welcome to 2014! Now get your ass in top physical condition!
No one else started it so here it is! **From the 2013 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. |

Ok. I'm kind of in a slump a bit since hitting my birthday goal. I find I do better with a goal and time frame in get to that goal. I think I'm going to complete in the NPC All Star in KC October 25th in the Physique comp. I think I'm more built for that than the BBing side. 5 months to get ready to go. I need the pressure.

Anyone here take any herbal supplements that are suppose to help boost your energy, mental focus, and memory...kind of like Ginseng?
If so, what do you take and do you think it works?

Has anyone heard of a couple products called Metaboost and NO2?
I read a special report in Mens Health about it, supposedly one of their staffers did it for just one month, didnt work out extra hard at all and got absolutely buff in just one month... the before and after pics were shocking. Anyone else tried this stuff? |

Yeah they don't really train legs. I thought they were going to do away with the board shorts, or shorten them a bit to show a bit of the vastus medialis/top of quad. Either way good luck man!

I went four days without the gym over the Memorial Day weekend. Traveled, ate out....a lot. I went to the gym last night, and I had only gained a half pound! I never thought I'd do a victory dance over gaining weight, but I did much better than I thought I did.
