*.* 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.. |

****ERS.
Anyway, I'm excited to start a new cycle of the 531. I went away from it for a while while I was doing some knee and back rehab, but I'm back on it starting today. Accidentally deleted my old spreadsheet, but found this one that kicks ass. http://www.allthingsgym.com/2012/01/...-poteto-v1-28/ I love the graphs and stats it tracks for you. So, I'm only doing it 5 days a week, and I have modified it a little bit. Because of my spine issues, I can't do heavy squats anymore, and I have to start way over on the deadlift with super light weight to build up some deficiencies in strength. My schedule will be: M - Military Press (Assistance: Military Press, BB Row, Tricep extension) W - RFESS, Deadlifts (Assistance: Good Mornings, Crunches) R - Bench (Assistance: DB Incline Bench, Weighted Pull-ups, Weighted Dips) |

Creatine question. I've not been taking this. How much should I take & when should I take it?

Make sure you drink lots of water. If not you may experience cramping and/or headaches. |

Pure creatine monohydrate? A teaspoon, or 5 grams. If you're using some of that mixed, flavored crap, the scoop should be included.

So I need 10 grams every day?
I've read that I should take a week or two off every 6 weeks or so, but I thought I read on here that this wasn't necessary? |

I've finally gotten a pretty good 6 pack. Will the extra water weight ruin that?

It shouldn't. It's not adding fat to you.

No. Creatine's water weight is simply the extra weight in your muscle from water. It doesn't cause water retention outside of muscles, so it should actually make your muscles slightly larger.
