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.

Nice

I've made mine with fat free cottage cheese before.

I also make protein cheesecake with cottage cheese. Protein fluff is okay, but a pain in the ass to make, IMO.

Luckily we have a good Italian place down the road and they make awesome desserts (Lobster tail & tiramisu mmmm).

Got it. Thanks. Mine is going to be shorter than normal because I won't get a chance to eat until 6 PM. I'm going ****ing ham on those carbs though.

Yeah its a small window. I guess its more of a carb-up than a refeed since I'm not counting calories during the weekly low carb phase. I think I tracked one or two days and was near 3K. When I start to plateau I'll actually start counting.

Lol

My UD2.0 refeeds are like 12,000 calories.

Basically. Extremely strict. If you really want, i logged every day in last year's fitness thread.

Right now, I'm just doing RFL. Even though I'm Cat 1, I'm following Cat 2 protocols. Lyle says not to do this, but **** it . . . Working like a charm. Ripped already. Hasn't taken long at all.

Bruiser · 08-06-2014, 07:45 PM

I just ate a whole pizza

**The Franchise** · 08-06-2014, 08:05 PM

So far.....chicken and spaghetti with some breadsticks. And holy **** did I get hot flashes.

I thought you were doing UD 2.0?

Silock · 08-06-2014, 09:07 PM

I was. I stopped it last week to just focus on RFL.

RFL is a bit faster for fat loss. I'm not gaining strength like I *could* on UD2.0, but I'm not losing any, either.

Bruiser · 08-06-2014, 09:28 PM

Silock why do you high bar squat despite being able to use hip drive in the lbbs which heavily recruits the posterior chain and allows more weight to be lifted?

Silock · 08-06-2014, 09:38 PM

No gym for home, work out floor with 30, but is it for 20 like 30 lb when you no lift it to be for men, for 30 lbs instead? or half is 10 for 20 pounds?

fuaaaaaaark!

First Carb Nite in the books.

Went with chicken and spaghetti, a couple of breadsticks, a slice of cheese cake and a bowl of Fruity Pebbles.

Holy **** that entire night felt weird. The good thing is that I'm ready to get back to 30 carbs and under.
