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:

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 do legs on Monday. It's like, "let's get this the **** over with, please".

I've done a legs/biceps split before just so I have an incentive to get through legs.

**luv** · 10-13-2014, 03:03 PM

One of these days, I will take a decent picture of my legs. It will make you guys appreciate it a little more.

lol

That, and I have some skinny-assed legs by genetics.

I used to hate it

but then for some reason I started liking it

I guess its fun to be the only one in the gym that actually does real squats

Plus, it feels really good to stretch out my glutes and groin

Let me know if you need any additional help with that.

I'm actually starting to like it, myself.

I'm not sure what it was, but for the longest time I was dealing with some serious knee pain. By the second or third set I'd just want to die. It really made completing my workout a grind. I can't imagine that my form was wrong but I haven't changed shoes or anything else that could have led to knee pain so maybe it was.

At any rate, I've been making gains in strength and my quads are looking more defined so it's making me like it more and more.

Hopefully one day I'll be proud to show off my legs because right now I'm ashamed of these bad boys.

I've never understood the hatred for leg day.

i think it's the fact that when you first start doing it for real you get so incredibly sore afterward that you can barely walk

That's not entirely true.

Is that the last time you did leg day? lol

Big muscle group, big pain.

I didn't care for it much as a newb, but I've grown to really like legs days. It definitely feeds the ego knowing you can move that much weight.
