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.

Because of my soccer schedule, I can't do squats as much as I'd like. My knees just don't have the recovery time for them.

So, I just switched out squats and deads in Madcow's 5x5. Deads are much easier on the knees for me.

M/F: Deads, Bench, Clean
W: Squat, Military Press, Weighted Pull-ups

What would you use a $50 gift card from bobybuilding.com for?

I just missed the 405 incline last monday but I was tired as ****. Will do it tonight and I think it's money in the bank.

I think you mentioned it before, but how old are you? I was thinking late 30's.
