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 could be wrong, so Silock may need to correct me, but after an intense lifting session your glycogen stores are almost entirely depleted, and your body will burn fat for energy when doing high intensity cardio at that point.

The higher the intensity, the more you start burning away muscle. But yes, this is correct. And glycogen stores will get depleted after an intense lifting session only if the reps are fairly high or the workout is very, very long.

Um, real meat has more protein per serving than a powder, and chicken usually has less fat, if not just the same. Some fish has almost no fat and much higher protein.

My last check-in until the end of the month...lost 3 more pounds this week, down to 329.

That's down 89 pounds from February.

Headed on vacation, planning to stay active on my dad's bike and keep the food righteous. With a few bad treats along the way.

So steady state is better?

Not necessarily. Depends on the intensity of the steady state. Interval training allows for a higher average heart rate without the associated muscle loss. You can still lose muscle via interval training, but your relative training intensity can be higher.

Bodybuilder weren't totally wrong when doing an hour or two of uphill walking on a cut before a show. It just eats up a ton of time.

I must be a fatass. I am 5'8" and range from 167-174.

Feel like I might have some right shoulder impingement. I've got some slight to moderate pain when reaching over my head (especially towards the end of the day) and when I sleep on my right side.

Anyone have experience with shoulder impingement? Should I just back off the lifts that cause immediate discomfort, or do I need to shut down all upper body until it stops hurting?

I already take a NSAID for a knee and I grabbed some PT exercises off the Web.

I'm sorry you had to find out this way.

Start doing rotator cuff work, scapular retractions, Y-W-T-L's and band pull-aparts now. Impingement is usually caused from lack of rear delt/rotator work.

should get you started.

If you feel the need to continue pressing exercises, switch to dumbells, use a nuetral grip with elbows tucked to side.

I'd go see an orthopedic doc first. I've had a very severe shoulder injury in the past. Several surgeries later, and due to some post trauma arthritis, scar tissue, and joint degereration, I have an impingement issue in my right shoulder. Not all impingements are the same. In my case, it will require a clavicle resection procedure, which I had 20 years ago to fix it. Working out the muscles would only irritate it more. Your case may be different, but I'd hate to see you make it worse without a proper diagnosis, which requires x rays.

I have a gacky rotator. Sucks.
