*.* 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 guess he is 3-3.5" taller than me and at about 5lb per inch that is about right. I see him on the soccer fields and he still does not look like 180+. More like 170-175.

Heh. I know exactly how it is. I'm also a soccer player. People are always shocked when I tell them how much I weigh.

If I did not ref so much I could probably get to the 175-180 range. Too much running now to maintain it.

Meh. I don't really want to be bigger. I'd like to get stronger still, though, which won't happen until I get bigger. I have bumped up against the same upper limit on benching for 2 straight years now. Annoying.

OK Gang: A little ADD on my part, I'm going back to the Intermediate Madcow listed above instead of Wendler's 5/3/1. Tomorrow (or today) starts the bulk. I want to put on 10-15 lbs is my goal. The side effect should be great strength gains. I will be keeping you updated on my journey.

Well I'm pretty young. I've been lifting consistently for over 2 years, so I feel I'm transitioning into an intermediate level and have had good results with Madcow before on my bench but my squat went into the shitter.
I think the reason my squat suffered was overtraining my lower back from deadlifts and squatting 3x/week. I won't be doing deadlifts this go around and see how this treats me. I may also switch one of the barbell row days to DB row as well. I believe in the program and will just tweak it over time to what works best for me. I think the 5/3/1 is a little more advanced and slower progression. I'm very light (160ish) and have been wanting to gain weight for awhile and this is a good program to do that (3 day full body routine). I think 5/3/1 is a good program but I don't feel like I'm quite ready for it and can make weekly progression with some weight gain on Madcow. |

Texas Method is even slower (I prefer it).
Still, 5/3/1 gives you a lot more recovery between squats and deads. |
