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:

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.

They last 3 months where you are?

I was able to avoid cakes pies cookies chips and crackers. I had veggies, bacon, hard boiled eggs roast. So overall I guess I did the best I could out of the holiday season. I went for a couple walks as well. It doesn't feel good turning down sugar, but the sacrifice is worth it. That is what I tell myself.

I said **** it and went all in. No way I'm turning down home made cannoli's & italian cookies. Two days of nothing but johnny walker and junk food.. feel like crap but got it out of my system.

I have another week of abusing myself with junk food and bourbon! When I go back to the gym on Jan 2 I am going to have a lot of work to do.

I am eating whatever. No ****s given.

RunKC · 12-26-2013, 10:23 AM

Silock, care to share your meal plan? I'm struggling to find meals to make that are healthy and well....actually good.

What is on your grocery list?

I'm doing well with my exercise, but it's just making me complacent because it's only burning off the shit I've been eating and not against burning stored fat that needs to be destroyed.

To shed fat all you need to do is consume fewer calories than you burn off per day. You could burn fat on an all Twinkie diet if you kept the caloric intake in a deficit.

Silock · 12-26-2013, 10:39 AM

^ Yup.

But more generally, I grill EVERYTHING. Well, meat, at least.

Lean top sirloin, chicken, lean pork. If I can't grill, I'll bake it and use some low calorie bbq sauce, like Gates original. A bit of rice, a couple of pieces of fruit (oranges or grapefruits).

I'm probably not the best to ask about a "meal plan," simply because I'm content eating largely the same things every day. But grilled meat is always delicious.

How many calories is good to intake for one day? I am 5'11" and 186 lbs

Less than you do now. Or eat the same and up your caloric output with exercise.

Sorry can't give specifics but everyone is different.

Hammock Parties · 12-26-2013, 10:50 AM

I haven't gained a single pound during the holidays. In fact I have lost several pounds. I completely cut out sugar this month and other than a 3-day trip to grandma's house, have abstained. I'm leaner than I've ever been. I'm going to keep this going into the new year and see if I can get some mother****ing abs.

I ate at least two lbs of cookies yesterday as well as bourbon egg nog!

RunKC · 12-26-2013, 10:53 AM

Nice, guys. I will try that.

Also, this may be due to genes, which sucks, but I am a fairly skinny guy, but have always had baby fat on my lower abs. Even when I played sports in high school and was active all the damn time, I still had that bit of baby fat.

My goal is to tighten that shit up and make it flat.

I'm going to start doing lower ab exercises every night before I go to bed, which will hopefully work. Any other ideas?

Won't do shit. Abs are all about the kitchen. Have to go to a caloric deficit to pop abs.
