*.* 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. |

We were having a group discussion at work the other day about fitness and a couple chicks decided to chime in with some nuggets of wisdom.
One said you can spot-reduce fat and the other said its important to work out calves because they pump blood throughout your body. |

Ok. Going balls in and trying to hit 405 bench by the end of the year. I've topped out at around 375-380 in the past. This time trying to hit about 5000 cals and push the BW up to 260lbs Currently around 230, been as high as 245. I figure I need to hit 315 for 8-9 to get it and I'm currently at 2 after half assing my diet and workouts over the summer. Also bumping up the TRT dosage a bit starting in Oct I'm just trying to ramp up the cals now so I can prepare for handling 5000 come Sept. My biggest concern is injuries since I had a torn RT cuff in the past. I'm going to feel and look miserable, but god dammit I'm moving that shit off my chest so I can cross that off my bucket list.

She definitely meant it in a natural kind of way.
But when I pressed her, she couldn't really give a clear answer on just how to do something that she would be a millionaire for actually knowing. She just said " it's very hard". |

I guess I'm just anti-SS since it has no accessory movements to assist the power movements, but it's all going to boil down to consistency with your workouts and in the kitchen. |

My wife's friend comes to work out with us every once in awhile and brings one of those elastic waist bands that hides your gut. She swears up and down that working out with it reduces fat in the mid section.

I don't wanna get fat when i bulk, as that will just discourage me. Planning on investing $$$ into some heavy weights and just eat at a 300-500 cal surplus. |

This might sound stupid, but I want to have long rough sex without my abs getting destroyed. Sometimes it feels like I can't walk the day after.

Kinda like my motivation. I tell my wife all the time that I'm working out to look good naked. When i get up to go get a towel after a hot session i want her to look at me and think, "OMG look at that ****ing sexy man. I can't believe THAT just got done ****ing me". |
