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:

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 would have figured that the Tawny Scrawny Lion was a little too advanced for you from a literary perspective.

Back to build lifting this week.

Down 10 lbs in the first week. I'm sure its water weight.....but can't beat it.

I'm partial to post-dump weigh-ins, myself.

Reverse flies on a machine were a ton better. No shoulder noises or discomfort. I was able to do a slow controlled motion with resistance throughout most the exercise.

Tonight I'll try the lateral raises on the machines.

I'll also experiment with the cables. There's a ton of them at my gym.

We have the fly machine with the upward motion. Totally awesome for both front and back.

Doing a little intermittent fasting this week. Trying to get those abs out.

On a related note, where can I buy size XS shirts?

Come on, man. Don't clone it up.

Big milestone today! I weighed in at 317 pounds, which is EXACTLY 100 pounds lower than my highest recorded weight of 417 before my Achilles surgery. I lost the bulk of my weight over the past 6 months (95 pounds of it). I'm ready to tackle the 200's now, which is my next big goal. So pumped!

Grats! Keep it up!

PR on the deadlift this morning. Nothing spectacular in the world of lifting, but I'm pretty pleased considering my wonky back and the fact that I've only done deadlifts for 1.5 years.

man i wish i could take 100lbs off my deadlift PR and use it towards my bench. Bench ****ing sucks, still can't bench 315 w/o shoulder pain. usually stop around 250 which is when it starts firing up

**The Franchise** · 08-05-2014, 03:28 PM

Carb nite tomorrow night and I still have no ****ing clue what I'm going to eat.

Silock · 08-05-2014, 03:31 PM

Pretzels, rice cake, pasta, fat free Pringles, after dinner mints, homemade baked sweet potatoes . . . Lots of good options.
