*.* NEW- 2014 General Fitness Thread *.*
I guess we filled up the old one... http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=280149
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. |

I still have quite a bit of fat to lose, too. At 28.9 (or was a month ago). I want to get down to 20% or so.

Arms will be the last spot to finally slim down. Don't worry about it yet. Keeping that strength and muscle is your best bet to continuing to burn the most fat you can. I'm also glad I could sexy up this thread with Caitlyn. Woof, she's awesome!

Looking for a diagnosis on the following:
Intense headache when performing high rep leg press. My friend and I have been doing high-rep legs days on Fridays, which includes sets of 20 on the leg press with a weight which is (for us) very challenging. My friend's head routinely turns very red during this exercise. I suspect his breathing is messed up (holding his breath during the concentric part of the rep) which is raising his blood pressure. Also, your head is lower than your legs during this exercise so I'm sure a lot of blood rushes to his head. Anyway, he actually stopped his workout early this morning, complaining of a headache which was brought on by the leg press. Any ideas? Is he going to have an aneurysm? |

He might. Tell him to go to a doctor to rule out something medical. Then switch his breathing.

It sounds BP related or completely reeruned breathing pattern. questions- 1. what pre-workout if any, and how much 2. is he on any gear, what and how much those are more for my own curiosity as my BP was a lot higher when i was [on] my elevated TRT routine. |

No preworkout drinks- we workout in the mornings and I'm pretty sure he just rolls out of bed and into his car. Hell, I'm lucky if he brushes his teeth, lol.
No gear that I know of, unless you count Creatine monohydrate. I don't sort of think about breathing much, anymore. In on the eccentric and out on the concentric still the recommendation? |

LEG DAY!
Squats, single leg leg presses, step ups, lunges... A little core work (leg lifts and walking planks), and a little cardio (pushing the prowler and farmer's walk). I love leg day. I also love dead lift day. I'm also loving bench day too. |

I hate leg day so much, I converted it to two lesser workouts.

I hate leg day too. Love the feeling of accomplishment when I'm finished though. |
