*.* 2012 General Fitness Thread *.*

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:

http://madcow.hostzi.com/5x5_Program/Linear_5x5.htm

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.

Not sure how you guys can stay in the gym day after day. I tried it for two weeks and quite frankly, got bored. I play hockey to get a good sweat going.

I'm not sure what you're doing, but, if you're bored, you're doing it wrong.

Pretty much the knife like pain when I try to raise my arms about my head. It's also a bitch to try to sleep at night. I wake up in pretty bad pain numerous times.

Slowly working my bench up again. Had a personal record back in October or November last year and then went on vacation- wrecked my motivation and conditioning. Feels like I am getting close again, but I don't want to jump ahead in the program I am on so I won't know until the end of February.

I did that last fall, and it is very painful and sucks ass. It limits your ability to do so many things. The rehab is a pain in the butt.

I swam for an hour yesterday, and it even hurts then.

Same here, and I can only sleep on the side that is injured. Good luck with it, hope you get along better than I am.

Sounds like an RC tear. Id you have decent health insurance you might consider getting an MRI to have it looked at.

There are a few exercises that help strengthen the muscles around it that can ease the pain some but not much.

I have been living with tears in both shoulders for several years. I can sometimes go weeks and not notice. Then other days I can not move my arms without excruciating pain. Sometimes even get numbness down my arms.

I was just hoping it was a muscle strain, but it's being going on for about 4-5 weeks with no signs of getting better. Upright row, Front/Side lat raise, and close grip bench caused the most pain when I tried doing them.

Does the pain feel like it is inside the socket or on top of the shoulder? If on top there is possibility it could be the AC joint.

Do you have pain with regular press or incline? This motion tends to put more stress on the AC than others.

It feels like it's more on the top and outside of the shoulder. I played around and repped 100lb DB's for 15 reps for 3 sets last week on the incline without any shoulder issues.

I was a co-worker that's a massage therapist try to massage it a bit and she found a spot about 8 inches down my shoulder/straight down my armpit that hurt like hell when she touched it. I forgot what the hell she said it was called, but I would think they might be linked. That area only hurts like hell when it's touched.

It will take around a year to be 100%, more than likely. Been there and it sucks.

Bench and incline bench put a lot of strain on the AC so I think you more than likely have an RC tear. I would see an ortho.

I used to do Insanity, and absolutely loved it. I recently started instructing at a new gig in town called KOSAMA. It's a blast, group setting type workout. Cover's everything from Plyo, Upper/Lower body, Kettle Bells, Kickboxing, Circuits and Abs. Plus its easy to keep motivated in the group setting instead of working out alone.

Lot's of guys and girls getting their 2012 off to a right start with KOSAMA. I really enjoy the cardio aspect of it.

I used to do heavy lifting and just got tired of the bulk and lack of speed. When I started martial arts a few years ago, I stopped heavy lifting. I miss the burn at times, but absolutely love the quickness and agility I gained without the heavy weights.

Here's to 2012 and beyond!!!

X2 on working out in a group setting. Makes it a lot harder to say "nah, I'm not going tonight".
