*.* 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. |

I just don't work out well with food in me. It tends to make me nauseated from the blood leaving my stomach. I guess that's a good thing, as it means I work out hard.

Yeah I'm finding more and more if I eat a big meal I really do not want to work out afterwards.
That's why I looooove fasted workouts. Although the other day almost killed me when I did a 9 mile bike ride immediately after the gym.

I detest bikes. Probably due to the many years I had to deal with the exercise variant.

It's pretty awesome. I detest running, so biking works for me.

I'll be honest - I've avoided this thread like the plague. I have put my weight back on that I worked so hard to take off a couple of years ago, and it's had a really negative impact on my psyche. I've started dabbling with workouts again the last couple of weeks, and have put forth an effort to re-do my diet, but today was not a good day.
My problems are all between my ears, as most of ours are. The bummer is that I just got stuck in this loop of beating myself up about letting myself go so badly, again. The good news is that I seem to be getting my potato salad eating ass back to a place where I appear to be motivated to do something about it, so I'll be checking in here to help with some motivation from time to time. Thanks for the quick free therapy! |

I hate running too. The only way I really can "enjoy" it is to be on trails with a lengthy podcast. Music and running outside on the street was fine for the first 8+ years of doing it. Now it's so ****ing boring, it's unbearable.

good thread fellas. Fitness is very important to me and should be to everyone. I try to run 3 times a week but I want to run more(normally just 3 miles). I definitely need to stretch better cause I've been sore all week.

That's one drawback to biking...probably unwise to be plugged in. At least where I ride.

Well its been 4 weeks today since I started eating paleo and trying to get all my cals into just 3 meals. Starting weight was 226, weighed in 214 this morning. Visibly leaner though most of that loss is from water. Finally pulled 500lb for a easy double, i havent really ventured past 405 since since college. My goals this year were to get down to 200-205, and be able to hit 315/405/500 on the big 3. Been running on 5/3/1 four day program with hill sprints 2x week, taking only sunday off. If anyone knows some good bench assistance work throw it at me.. all I've been adding in is dumbell bench with fat grips and weighted dips.
