*.* 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. |

Not 100% true. Your body can only handle so much glucose at a time. You could be in a caloric deficit and consume large amounts of glucose all at once and some of that is going to go to fat cells for storage because your body physically can not process that much at one once.

This is why pop is so bad for you. The best time to consume these types of sugars is going to be right after working out when your muscle are glucose depleted. |

The problem with soda and crap sugar drinks in general is that people drink them all day long, leading to chronically high insulin levels when they arent even active to begin with. Not trying to rant or argue with you bud, its just that there is a lot more involved than just 'too much sugar turns instantly to fat'. |

Havent kept up with this thread but i lift 4 times a week and have over the past 4 years. Took two weeks off in the middle of june to acclimate to the heat( i work in the heat 58 hours a week). Ive now been back for two weeks going heavy to get my bench back to 350, and i keep getting nasty bruises and cramps in the outside of my right hand. Anyone run into this? Ive used gloves before but never cared for them much. Thoughts?

I upped the cals significantly on this carb-up. I just couldn't stay full, and I figured my body was trying to tell me something. So, I kept feeding it. See Day 27 for result pics and workout.

Day 27:
As expected, the change to all high GI carbs with a minimum of sugars kept me from bloating up, even though carb intake was very high. I used all that extra energy to really hit it hard in the gym. Two and a half hour workout, but it was GREAT. Workout: Bulgarian Split Squats (R&L) - 100% 5x2, 95% 6x3, Drop set 65% 12x1 Decline Bench - 100% 5x4, 6x1, drop set 70% 12x1 Deadlift - 100% 5x1, 90% 6x2, drop set 65% 15x1 Military Press - 100% 4x1, 95% 5x1, 90% 6x1, drop set 60% 15x1 Barbell Row - 100% 6x3, drop set 70% 15x1 Incline Bench - 80% 6x2, 75% 6x1, 60% 15x1 DB Curl - 100% 8x1, 95% 8x1, 90% 8x1, drop set 70% 15x1 Cable Crunch - 15x3 Tricep Rope Pushdown - 12x3 Felt GREAT. Weights were up where they should be all across the board. Nutrition: Weight Watchers ice cream bars Myofusion shake 2 Sweet potatos 1/2 Homemade thin crust pizza with grilled chicken and fat free cheese Ground turkey with scallions, onions and celery Totals: 2,081 cals, 263g carbs, 37g fat, 201g protein |

You do not look like you are 182. That would put you almost 20lb more than me.

I weigh almost the same as him now but with more bodyfat and much shorter! Pretty crazy how different body structures hold muscle mass.
