*.* 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.. |

Red, although I fully support your quest for fitness and strange, you are creeping me out a little bit.

They should. The whole myth of keeping knees behind the toes actually puts more strain on your knees. Going below parallel puts all the extra strain to your hips which is where your body is designed to carry the heavy load.

Go lighter and work on your form. If a squat is done properly you will not have pain in your knees.

I ran all 40 min of my basketball team's victory last night. My body is exhausted.. So tonight I grilled a pork chop, cooked some zuchini squash, and had a couple of beers while watching NBA playoffs. Tomorrow, back at it.

LOL. I posted this in the 2011 General Fitness thread today. Oops.
First 3 plate squat since my hip injury in December. Funny but my squats always feel slower than they look. No pain in the hip today. Oh Noez, I am squatting deep and my knees are over my toes, what ever should I do!?

belt? pussy.
assuming it has something to do with your hips? i use the "pussy pad" so i'll stfu what i said was i'm trying to keep my knees behind my toes...what i'm really trying to do is have my hips and knees break in one movement so the distance the knees are over the toes aren't AS MUCH |

I don't know how anyone uses the pussy pad. It is too bulky and doesn't allow you to flex your traps and get a good feel for where the bar is. Well knees behind toes is relative to the depth of your squat. The deeper you squat, the more your knees have to extend over your toes to keep your center of gravity and to allow for proper tracking of the hips without having the lower back round in the hole. Keep working at it. It really takes practice to nail down good squat form.
