*.* 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'll probably change it up a bit over the 4 months so I'm not glued to anything specific. It just depends on how I'm feeling. The key is going to be the diet, size, staying healthy, and a nice dose of Test Cyp. |

Just picked up a FitBit Flex. Charging the thing right now and setting up my software and online account. Some of my friends have used it and really like it. Hope this helps keep me motivated, and help me keep track of calories burned off.

Does DOMS affect your lifting ability?
Doing SS day 2 today and have to do more squats and since I just started Tuesday, my legs hurt like a bitch. |

No. But they are all in this thread. I might do it later if I remember when I'm not on my iPad.

Pic from our leg session last night. We decided to work up to a max 3 on box squats, so we had to break out the ammonia caps. We went through way too many LOL. Also, for any of you that are serious squatters, get the Rehband knee sleeves. Best $60 I ever spent.
Set up for final work sets, 405 on the bar and another ~200 in bands near lockout. I will try and get a video next time, we were the only 2 in the gym that late. |

This all day! I used the Tommy Kono one's before and they ripped after 6 months of squatting. I've had the Rehband's over a year and they are holding up way better than I expected. They feel unbelievable and keep my knees feeling fresh as I squat twice per week (usually heavy). Best money I have ever spent on lifting gear. I won't squat without them.

I walked the 8 min to the gym and got on a bike for 5 min hoping it would loosen up my quads, but I couldn't do squats at all. Sorta bummed. Did my press and dead lifts though. I hope my legs are fine by Saturday.

This has probably been brought up in here already but what's the easiest way for you guys to eat enough food?
I ate 5 eggs w/ cheese for breakfast, a chicken burrito with rice and guacamole, and a 4 oz chicken breast today, but ideally I'd like to eat maybe 500-750 more calories on lift days (maybe 1000?). I'm not quite sure how many calories I ate today, but I can't imagine eating 1000 more. |

Don't do cardio on leg day. And if you did legs today Saturday is too soon. You need more recovery time if you are doing anykind of serious lifting.

I don't know if you saw, but I just started Tuesday and have really bad DOMS in my thighs. At work all day when I stood up they were really sore, but if I went for a long walk, they would not hurt as bad, so I just tried a quick warmup before trying squats, it didn't help at all. |
