*.* 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. |

Optimum Nutrition chocolate cake batter casein is awesome. Trutein is great -- Pumpkin pie and Cinnabun are amazing. As far as whey goes, Myofusion has great flavors, as does Optimum Nutrition (Although ON isn't "quite" as good). |

Just about every day. There's nothing wrong with red meat. Just about everything in moderation is fine.

i think the quiet calories - the calories that are getting me in trouble are: Milk and Natural Peanut Butter - over doing it a tad maybe - but i'm still hanging around 1500-1700 per day - so i found it odd i weighed in at 197 versus a week agos 194 - ughhh - the frustration. I guess at least i'm SEEING some results - so there's that.

I'm open to criticism - I want to fine-tune - I'm open for any and all advise - I'm really enjoying the challenge, TBH.

You can fluctuate up to 10 lbs in just a single day due to water fluctuations. There's nothing wrong with milk or natural PB. But most natural PB has added sugar, as well as a lot of fat. You're better off just eating peanuts, because 1) they have fiber, so it's easier to fill up on them, and 2) the energy in whole, raw nuts is less bioavailable, so you can eat a lot of them without actually consuming all of the calories it says you did. |

they don't register Sugar in the listing of ingredients - however you're correct - mine shows 1g - Sugar. Funny how they're tricky in that regard.

We are talking 2 grams of fat and about 1gram protein depending if you get gold standard. For the value its pretty good.
