*.* 2014 General Fitness Thread *.*
Welcome to 2014! Now get your ass in top physical condition!
No one else started it so here it is! **From the 2013 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. |

Ran for about 9 minutes on the treadmill at speeds around 5mph and walked the other 12 or so minutes.
Third day in a row I've done 50 jumping jacks and 15 (very painful) pushups. Did a stint in urgent care because the aborted run I went on Monday evening gave me a death rattle in my chest as well as some tightness.

Really good spotters are rare these days. I had a guy literally "help" me on every single rep I did when I was doing incline. I stopped after a couple and told him I got it and I'd tell him when I needed help, but he kept on doing it even after. Pissed me off.

Sounds like you're probably just really out of shape but if you're working out you're on the right track. Also, if I may- and take this with a grain of salt because I don't know half the shit a lot of the guys in this thread do- just stop doing jumping jacks. Those things are next to pointless and I'm sure you could find a more effective use of your time. |

They are. Everyone is a bit different. Personally, I like help getting the bar off the rack but after that just stay the **** out of my way. Just make sure I don't die. If you see me struggling, maybe put your fingers on the bar and take off a few pounds. |

Thats what I do. I ask for a hand-off so I can keep my shoulder blades pinched back and in place, then let them know I'm good. I only have someone stick around if I'm going for broke on a set. Otherwise I usually leave a rep or two in the tank.

Weighed in at 186.4 last night.
Yeah, I'm a woman telling my weight. Officially 70 lbs down. Approximately 40 more to go. |

Note to self: Doing 45 thrusters right before a 1500m row SUCKS. I need to do that more often.

Yeah, I think we all agree. You're a very svelte 180.
