Welcome to 2012! Now get your ass in top physical condition!

**From the 2011 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.

Anyone with bad mobility should check our "Magnificent Mobility" by Eric Cressey. Cressey is a genius at solving those problems.

No one will ever match this again. Arnold is a freak of nature. That is why he is the god of bodybuilding.

Just a quick question. For those of you starving yourselves, how long do you go between meals, and would you recommend someone lose weight by eating one meal per day?

Alternate-day fasting means a 24-hour fast.

So, 24 hours.

Eating one meal a day would be less effective than fasting for 24 hours.

And you eat one meal on the day you're not fasting?

No, I eat regularly.

Let's say you're not fasting. Eating one meal per day would not negatively affect your body in any way?

Hammock Parties · 02-18-2012, 10:19 PM

No. Let's say you had a caloric maintenance of about 2,000 calories. You eat one meal a day, maybe about 800 calories. You burned 1,200 calories that day without doing a lick of exercise.

In fact we had someone on this very forum lose a lot of weight doing that.

Yes, I lost 80 lbs last time from only eating 800 calories per day. What happens when you start eating again and you haven't gotten into the habit of exercising?

If you go above your caloric maintenance you're gonna gain weight.

So, someone is eating one meal per day, and they're not able to do a lot of exercises. Eating only the one meal per day for a prolonged period of time will not have any adverse affects on their body?

They would lose fat.

I can't say that I know for sure, but that just sounds like a very bad idea.
