*.* 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.

Seriously, you've got guys over there who weigh around four bills. Are they just supposed to pour they entire container into a give gallon bucket of water and slam it?

That's 13 scoops a day of that shit for just under 400 grams of protein.
Well, for one thing I wouldn't recommend ingesting more than 50 grams of protein at a time (I have heard it is difficult for your body to process). The other thing is that you want your supplements to, you know, supplement your diet. If you want to ingest 200 grams of protein, I would suggest that the majority of it come from actual food- not protein shakes. I've found alternating shakes with solid food to be a good system but I wouldn't base my intake on shakes alone.

Did you have surgery on the shoulder or just wait it out?

I just waited it out and avoided doing lifts that put stress on it which is pretty much any flat, incline or upright press.

That should help. Make sure you're getting enough protein and calories. And sleep.
Thanks. I'll do this. I think most of my problem is mental. I'm good on protein and calories. Sleep is a different story.

It also helps to have a spotter. That way, you can up the weight without worrying about missing the lift and killing yourself.

Make sure it is enough of a spotter. When I was in High School one of my buddies had like 375 pounds on there (IIRC) and wrapped his elbows, well, he couldn't get it up and the bar bounced off his chest. He was a little bastard, probably 140 or something, that was not cool. I couldn't believe he didn't break his sternum or ribs or something. He said he was just sore.

Either way, just make sure your spotter is paying attention and strong enough to help if you need it.

I just had a one on one session at my crossfit box. They taught me how to do a front squat. I'd never tried one before this. It felt pretty good. At the end of the lesson, I did a workout.

8 front squats
8 burpees

As many rounds as possible in 5 minutes.

I would have gotten 4 rounds but I got a few 'no reps' for not breaking parallel on the squat. It was fun. I'm really liking this so far. I can't wait to get through these lessons and start the real workouts.

You might give the slingshot a try. It's great for overload training.

The 50g per meal limit is bro-science. I personally know a lot of big dudes that only have time to eat 3 meals a day. They aren't IFBB pro's or anything, but stay lean year round and throw some heavy weight around in the gym. They pretty much told me the whole 6-8 meals per day thing is complete BS. As far as protein per day, 1g per lb of lean body mass is pretty much acceptable as a minimum.

Probably because they thought it was your first time, or that you hadn't been working out. I wasn't exactly meaning sore, just a butt kicking workout most of the time. If it's not kicked, then speed it up. One of the reason I love it is you don't do the same workouts week after week, it's different every day and wore out most every time. I did CF for 2.5 years, didn't get sore much, but usually was pretty fatigued at the end. Working my way back after a torn rotator cuff.

Yeah. I was wiped out when I got done. I assume most people that start aren't doing a lot of leg work before they do this workout.

Good luck with the injury. Did you tear your RC doing crossfit?

so I rock out on the Planet Fitness treadmill and can do my routine no problems...of course I'm beat afterwards but I'm usually not on the verge of death

I do the same routine at my hotel fitness center from time to time and it tells me I run the same distance and I do the same times...BUT IT BEATS THE SHIT OUT OF ME. It's like almost twice as hard for me to finish. I still finish, but at the end...I wonder why I'm so ****ing killed on one treadmill and not on the other?

Are all threadmills not created equally?

Very Interesting. I have been looking at ideas for overload benching and while bands are obviously used, they are a pain to setup in the racks at most gyms that are powerlifting type gyms.

Have you used the slingshot in your training?
