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.

Guys your competing against for a spot and scholarship are using, the teams your playing against are using and it was pretty much standard to be on a low dose of test, at the minimum. Competition is the driving force for this, and always will be. I'm sure other people have had similar scenarios, this was just my personal experience.

It's also not illegal, and there are more than a handful of gentlemen on this site that are >30 and on some form of TRT/HRT (doctor supervised supplementation).

How do you get TRT/HRT from your doctor?

Get your T levels measured. If you come in low, most doctors will now prescribe TRT/HRT.

Most places will give it to you now even if you don't come in that low. Just tell them you're tired, have no sex drive, and feel frail and they'll hook you up. Now that's going to one of the TRT specialty centers, not your normal doctor.

Tell me more.

My doctor was like "You're 33. You're fine. Go home."

I think my fitness gave me away.

It depends on how many sprints I do before I'm gassed out for the day, lets just say I was heavy into working out before you and as for Silock he can kiss my ass.

Cardio is for your heart not your weight. I burn a whopping 100 calories for every mile I run. I can burn off much, much more in a heavy lifting session for the same amount of time it takes me to run a mile.

And after lifting you continue to burn calories at a higher rate for much longer than after a good run.

They're basically clinics that open up as an excuse to dish out TRT. There are similar "weight loss" centers that dish out adderall as a weight loss aid. Go in and tell them you're having problems keeping weight off. As a bonus, tell them that you can't focus at work and that this has always been a problem for you. They'll write you a scrip for some amphetamines and send you merrily on your way. A know TONS of professionals who do it.

I've already been there. While it worked in helping food cravings, by making them ****ing non-existant, it wasn't worth the $100 a month for the prescription.

shot > beer, there, fixed.

It isn't about the carbs in the drink. Alcohol increases estrogen levels while lowering test levels.

You can still have them do a blood test. It is fairly easy to get your test numbers down to a low enough level if you commit a couple of weeks doing so.

You just have to sell 10 of your pills for $10 a piece to pay for your own supply, then keep the rest. Of course, there's that whole going to jail thing to worry about.

I had them do a physical, which included testosterone, at the end of that crazy cut last summer. It just didn't get low enough.
