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:

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 am doing a women's seminar on training and nutrition along with my partner, who also has more than 20 years experience in the field. If anyone is interested shoot me a PM. It's going to be roughly around 2.5-3 hours and we are limiting it to 50 total. We expect it to fill up fast.

Hey ****ers, this will be my first positive post in here in a long time. After a very long 2-3 months, I am actually making progress with my back. It'll be a while before I add deadlift back to my workout, but I'm going to try to play racquetball and do some bodyweight leg stuff.

Did the orthotics help?

Yes. Orthotics + PT + massage therapy.

I feel I'm making some strides on the madcow 5x5. The last 4 sets on bench on my 5x5 day went 225x4, 225x5, 230x4, 230x5. Squats are getting better also.

chiefs2012 · 03-27-2012, 10:07 PM

been using a pvc pipe lately to stretch out with before/after workouts. I'm going to start using it first thing in the morning, and throughout the day. Holy crap does it hurt in some areas. Anyone else use one and have any advice?

Silock · 03-27-2012, 10:13 PM

I foam roll. No pipe for me.

chiefs2012 · 03-27-2012, 10:18 PM

I hear your suppose to start with the foam but I got a piece of pipe from work for free.

I'm not familiar with the technique. Do you just roll I over sore muscles or what?
