*.* 2012 General Fitness Thread *.*
Welcome to 2012! Now get your ass in top physical condition!
**From the 2011 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. Last edited by penguinz; 01-03-2012 at 07:38 AM.. |

What is your goal?
I won't ever be the strongest guy in my gym or the fastest guy at the race I am running. I pretty much figure for the most part I can out lift any runner I run against and out run any lifter in the gym though. That's my goal, the best all around shape I can be in. Pick a goal and go for it. |

But i do like the way you think. I picked up running last year and could probably outrun anyone of my similar build.

My max bench is about 275 right now, it used to be over 300. I dropped weight on purpose and lost some strength. I dropped 15lbs last year from March to July and plan to drop another 5 this year, at least for some time. The longest run I have done so far is 8 miles at about an 8:15 avg. I am training for a half marathon in May and hope to average 8:15 for that. I also want to be able to run a 5K in under 21:00 this year which I think I may be able to do right now. My goal this year is to run the half marathon in my goal time and be able to bench at least 275 3x. I am 5'11 and 180lbs so I think those are respectable goals. There will be stronger dudes and faster dudes and some that are both, but that should be a good combo. |

Where are you guys finding the best deals on supplements theses days?
I'm almost out of protein, and my pre-workout drink(use NO explode, but would try something else). |

Yeah. I hate his music selection, though.

You could check out some of my old sets to see if they appeal more. Obviously, I prefer my music selection.

I know a lot of you guys shit all over pre-workout drinks, but I've just started taking Buzzerk and I love it. It may be a placebo effect, but I've been very focused & I've had some great workouts with it. What's the main problem that guys have with them?

They don't actually physically help you. If you like it for the mental edge, then fine. But to me, it's a waste of money, because I can't help but realize that it isn't going to help me. It's all in the mind, so I just steel myself to try harder.
