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:

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.

Ok first week of the restarted Madcow in the books. I think I'm up at least a pound which is good. Nothing quite beats lifting in the gym with no AC when it's 107 degrees outside. #oldschool

No offense, but I get the feeling you like buying workout products and outfits but aren't big on using them.

Day 34:

I give up trying to understand why I bloat and why I don't. I ate nearly identically to last week, when I had no bloat, and bloated up significantly this week. I just don't understand.

Workout:

Went great. Had plenty of energy, and gained in my lifts since last week. I haven't gained strength overall, but I haven't lost ANY, either. Absolutely the same as when I started. I imagine that after a week off, I'll be able to continue my progression from before I started UD 2.0.

Rear Foot Elevated Single Leg Squats - 200x5, 195x5, 190x5, 185x5x2, 95x12

Bench - 210x6x5, 135x15

Deadlift - 295x5x3, 185x15

Military Press - 140x3, 130x6, 125x6, 85x15

BB Row - 155x6x3, 115x15

Incline Press - 165x4, 155x6, 145x6, 115x15

DB Curl - 45x8, 42.5x8x2, 35x15

Tricep Rope Pushdown - 70x8x3, 50x15

Cable Crunch - 110x15x3

Took about 3 hours to complete, but I was taking my time.

Nutrition:

Rice Krispies and skim milk
Oranges + Whey shake
Sugar free lime jello, sugar free black cherry jello
Deli ham + bbq sauce
Turkey + bbq sauce
FF, Sugar free instant chocolate fudge pudding and cheesecake pudding with skim milk

Totals: 2,150 cals, 334g carbs, 12g fat, 167g protein

Silock · 07-14-2013, 10:52 PM
