*.* 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 feel like it. Olympic lifting for 2 years and doing cleans, snatches and squats 4-5x a week sure beat up my body. Hip issues are genetic related and Olympic lifting sure as **** aggravated the condition....no shock there I suppose! Was fun as hell lifting and competing for those few years though. I honestly think the warm Arizona weather is the biggest reason they now feel ok. Thinking of possibly getting back into Oly lifting sometime soon.

Done all three.
p90x got me jacked. But never felt like I was in good cardio shape. Kenpo, for example, is complete crap. Never broke a sweat. p90x2 is more for toning. You get better core and balance muscles, but you don't get jacked nor do you get in great cardio shape. Insanity is pure cardio -- think it's a great program for women, but for men... meh, I'd rather lift. Plus Insanity can get boring over time. I'm trying a p90x / Insanity hybrid. I prefer Insanity over p90x ploy and kenpo, and I prefer the "rest" Insanity stuff over Yoga. I'm hoping this will finally get me the balance between being jacked and feeling like I'm in decent cardio shape. Quote:

P90x without a shadow of doubt will work. And insanity, well it's even more intense then p90x.
For beginners who are extremely overweight or really out off shape, I would highly, highly recommend 10 minute Trainer. It is basically a simplified P90x broken down into 10 minute workouts. For those who are really out of shape. Start slow. If you try to start big. You will likely get discouraged. Start with 10 minute, move to p90x then move to insanity Last edited by Cmd'r&Chief; 01-24-2013 at 11:14 PM.. |

Insanity is pretty worthless to me as it is. It needs to add some weight days. |

Well, I just did my 3rd one/one training session at my new crossfit box which was dedicated to dead lift form. I'm loving the instruction. I learned a lot. Mostly that my deadlift was ****ed up. This is exactly what I wanted.

Does anyone have any advice/recommendations on protein powders? How many grams per day?
I've been told I need one gram per pound of body weight per day, but holy shit...that's a ton. I'm 166 pounds. What are some of the bigger guys in the weight loss thread supposed to do? Seriously, you've got guys over there who weigh around four bills. Are they just supposed to pour they entire container into a give gallon bucket of water and slam it? That's 13 scoops a day of that shit for just under 400 grams of protein.

Here is my workout
I'm fat and out of shape so it's kicking my ass which is a good thing. Also if I want I can incorporate props (like dumbells) into the training. I am down 13 pounds this month, which is good considering all the beer I have drank. |

I like Complete Nutrition's V-Core. It's a bit pricey, but it tastes good and it only has 120 calories / 20g protein. |

There's a reason it tastes so good -- It contains high fructose corn syrup...
Try Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein --- ON is top quality and great taste. http://www.amazon.com/Optimum-Nutrit.../dp/B000QSNYGI The Strawberry and Extreme Chocolate Milk (tastes just like a yoohoo) are both fantastic.
