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.

Females leave the acl's around the gym like they leave their panties around my bed. I am still walking a bunch and having a had chips, cake, or cookies for a month and a half. It has been hard giving up those chips, but I know it is deep sacrifice like that...that causes the most gain and character building.

That’s the dead lift grip but in no way crosses over to the clean and jerk.

Yes, agreed 100%. It sort of a game of how many dangerous/stupid things can you count...

That video has to be a joke, seriously. That's just sad.

Can he do it with a controlled negative and not bounce it off his chest?

Just like everything......there are good Crossfit gyms and horrible ones. One of my good friends helps run a Crossfit gym here in town. I think it was Omaha that said that where he goes there aren't beginner classes. My friend's gym is the same way. You aren't allowed to join the classes until you've had multiple sessions with a trainer who can teach you the proper techniques.

No, it's not. That's just plain stupid. I have a hard time believing that video is real. That shit is more likely to happen at my regular gym than my crossfit gym. That doesn't happen at my crossfit gym EVER.

Need some excercise ideas to work out my entire midsection. Need to get this fat turned into muscle. Note: my eating has been much better.

You can't turn fat into muscle.

Can't spot reduce fat. You're going to have to eat less.

Crossfit is a cult and you are fully brainwashed!

Your body chooses which fat it will burn off first no matter what part of your body you excercise. Guess which part itsave for last on most men...
