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:

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.

I have to put 3 days rest between shoulder and chest day otherwise I am in constant pain.

That'll do it.

I'd probably be doing full body 3 days a week if it weren't too much with all the soccer I play. My legs are already constantly tired as it is.

I just started doing cleans this last year. My form is getting better every time I do it, but I had a hard time trying to keep my arms out of it in the beginning.

I have some insane tendonitis that just finally started getting better after seeing an ortho. He have me some special cream to rub in (hah) 3 times a day, along with naproxen once daily. You need to rest it, as it is inflamed. I've also been using some stuff I got at Wal-mart called Blu-Emu which works.

I would look for that or maybe try one of these liniments: http://www.flexcart.com/members/elit...lt.asp?cid=176

I would stop cleaning and squatting, dipping, or anything that remotely triggers it. It is a bitch and needs time. If you must continue to lift on it, get one of those liniments AND a neoprone elbow sleeve.

I just developed some pretty serious elbow tendinitis from tricep extensions with a dumbbell. Going to try not to use that exercise very often in the future...

It's a done deal. You have to rest it. When you get it feeling better, go light weight and make sure your form is right. Clean will **** your soul if your form is wrong.

****, think i just strained my right hamstring.

Had awesome leg workout. Sumo Deadlifted 415 for a single, did deficit deads, front squats, GMs. Went to the park to do sprints with the parachute. On my 5th sprint I felt a slight pop and bam, pain to the back of the right leg. I can still do full ROM with it (leg straight, foot pointed back) with only slight discomfort but I've never had a hamstring injury before. Any ideas on knowing what the **** I really did and how bad it is? Icing now and obviously going to need to rest it.

And such a shame after such a great lifting session and having been getting much stronger the past few months.

I got mine pretty good in 2005 and it hurt all the time. Sitting in my office chair at work was brutal. The chair had a lift under the hamstring for proper posture and it pressed right into the injury. I hated life. Bad.

If you get bruising in the backside of your knee it is definitely pulled.

Take it easy. I rested until I felt better and kept re-injuring it. I don't think I've opened it up and sprinted hard since. At least not on a track anyway.

No bruising yet but not sure how long that takes to set it. It's pretty near my glute tie-in region on the right side, a little more towards the outside of my leg.

Damn, and after being injury free for so long and making continued strength progress and all-time deadlift PR today.

I'm going to give myself about one more week and then attach my no homo pics of my progress.
