*.* 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. |

The downside is that you may not be able to sprint 8 times when you start. If you try to jog 5k, you might get winded and have to stop. With sprints, you damned near keel over. It's like drinking shots versus beer. You might get the same amount of alcohol, but it's a lot harder to pace yourself with beer than with shots.

Let me know how it goes. I literally started getting zits and even some "backne" after a few weeks. After reading up on it, I found that it raises natural HGH production by over 500%. After basically going through puberty again, I believe it.

My last day of officiating for the summer is tonight, so I think I'll start seeing my lifts increase just from less stress mentally and physically doing that 3 or 4 nights a week. I started Madcow on Monday and was a bit surprised by the toll this summer took on the lifts. A good starting point though I guess.

Was at school yesterday for a work day, and we had sack lunches catered by this delicious bakery. I grabbed one sack (chicken salad sandwich on cranberry bread, bag of chips, pickle, cookie) and ate it. There were sacks left over at the end of lunch, so I grabbed another of the same thing and ate all of it.
All day after lunch, I felt like a fat **** because I'm hitting the beach in two weeks, and I just ate enough food for two people. To punish myself, I cooked a fantastic meal for the family which I skipped, then went out and ran 800 yards worth of sprints in hot weather. Took kids bike riding as it cooled off(meaning I chased them on foot while they rode). Skipped supper, breakfast, and lunch today. Went to gym and did my normal workout during lunchtime. Will hit some baked chicken breasts tonight to break my 30 hour fast. Still not even that hungry, though I'm definitely looking forward to eating.

I've done two intermittent fasts the past two days ~12 hours-ish.
But, goodness, I couldn't imagine doing a 30 hour fast. Wow. |

Personally, I would just clean the diet up and hit the weights HARD. 4 days a week heavy training and 1-2 days of hill sprints or whatever hiit you like. You can get pretty damn lean from just hitting the weights and not ****ing around in the kitchen. I would add the cardio/hiit when fat loss starts stalling, but thats just me. I tend to lean out pretty quick when I start taking the carbs out of my first 2 meals of the day and keep them around workout.

Like I said it all depends on what YOUR goals are and I only suggested what worked for me, since we had similar stats. |

If I have a bunch of muscle under a bunch of fat, I'm not really doing my body any favors in terms of general health nor do I look good at the pool. Running WILL burn fat. Sprinting WILL build muscle. Lifting WILL build muscle, but it's not necessarily going to make you lean.
