*.* 2013 General Fitness Thread *.*

Welcome to 2013! Now get your ass in top physical condition!

**From the 2012 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.

Every day, just about lol

I spent the better part of a year eating back those calories, working the program from well below my maxes and slowly getting back to them. The only thing I really accomplished was putting on fat. Went from 172 to 190, and it wasn't much muscle.

So, for now, I've reset low and dropped cals to about 1500-1800 a day for a while so I can trim the fat off and then I'll increase cals as the weight increases.

It was a plateau. Not so much in the lower body, but definitely upper. Deads and squats still progressed fine.

Shit that's a lot of running. So right now your playing almost every day, training 531 and only eating 1800 per day? What do your 531 days look like? Do you do any extra accessory or extra triples on the major lifts?

Provides a good workload but the percentage of your max they have you use seems a bit steep at times. Good luck!
Three questions:

1. Did the program work for you? Did it increase your max significantly?
2. Did the strength gains last beyond the program?
3. What kind of routine did you do following the Russian Squat routine?

531 time was like 4500 per day. I just recently dropped cals.

I was doing triumvirate on upper body days. I didn't do any lower body assistance at all or if I did, it was minimal. Incline, rows, pull downs, weighted pull ups, decline and dips were my assistance exercises, obviously split between days.

Started the Texas Method today. We'll see how that goes.

It may not be programming. It might just be that I play too much soccer.
If I were you, I'd be happy playing soccer and maintaining from a lifting standpoint. I enjoy sport much more than lifting.

You can do both at the same time. Just gotta find that calorie sweet spot so the weights keep going up.

Three questions:

1. Did the program work for you? Did it increase your max significantly?

You can program to increase your max in easier ways, especially considering I was Olympic Lifting at the time. I tried it for shit and giggles. My max actually decreased secondary to too much workload since I was Clean and jerking and snatching 4x per week.


2. Did the strength gains last beyond the program?

Not really much to measure but in short, no.

3. What kind of routine did you do following the Russian Squat routine?

I was Oly lifting so back to my Clean/Jerk plus snatches 4-5x per week.

I thought about running it again but I prefer slow strength progress at easier workloads over a program that "promises" a greater increase in strength with a shorter window to achieve it but provides a workload that is hard to manage physically. More power to you if it works but be smart and back off at any signs of trouble.

I don't think it's quite that simple. The more cardio you do, the more your body sends signals to the muscles that aren't used for running that they aren't needed.

I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's very, very difficult to do.

I do, too, but it's still a bit of a bummer when you haven't really progressed in months.

Quit for a month. Then you'll realize how awesome maintaining is compared to going backward

Interesting, can you point me towards the study you read that discusses this?
