*.* 2014 General Fitness Thread *.*
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: 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. |

![]() taken from crossfit.com.. "What is CrossFit? CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide. Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist. The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We’ve used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs" Last edited by Aspengc8; 04-08-2014 at 08:38 AM.. |

I'm wearing a cut off shirt at the gym today.
I've received a +15% strength boost. |

I've been following along with this thread, not really contributing. One general principle I've taken from this thread is how hard many of you work at your body. I've never considered myself blessed with great genetics, but the more I read this thread, the more I feel that I am. I'm 5'10ish and weigh 190 lbs with a 33 inch waist. I lifted real hard back in my teens and 20's, drinking "health" shakes and taking amino acids to get "huge." Then I pretty much took up triathlon training in my late 20's and did that thing until a massive shoulder injury stopped my ability to swim. Then I continued to run and cycle until just a few years ago. Now a do a run a week or so, go for a real long ride about 4 times a summer, but thats about it. I never wanted to "flab out" as I aged, so I've moved to a mosty vegetarian diet, although I do cheat once a week or so. At 47yo, I've still got more muscle mass over my entire body than pretty much anyone I see that is my general age, give or take 5 years, and all I do is 100 push ups per day (feet elevated), some core stuff with a medicine ball, and dumbell curls twice a week.
If I did what Silock, Lewdog, Clathan all did, I think I'd be a freaking beast. In fact, I have to be careful what I eat or I start to bulk up. So, long story short, after reading through this, I think genetics plays a bigger role than I ever though it did. All of your hard work should be commended. |
