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:

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.

Mmmmm bacon!

Been getting some pretty insane upper body pumps after workouts lately. I'd pay to keep that shit year round.

.. Speaking of, does anyone hear ever get a lower body pump?

The gym was a total nightmare. It was crawling with new faces and all them doing weird ass exercises they probably saw in a magazine.

Pick up a barbell!

Why isn't this called the weightlifting thread?

I really don't know what else would be discussed besides weights? Anyone can get on a treadmill or bike...their isn't much skill and teaching in that.

If you ain't lifting weights you ain't doing it right.

How do I lose 20 lbs? It was only 12 before the holidays. I plan on quitting drinking and trying to poop more.

Wash some exlax down with Miralax three times daily after eating a tapeworm?

There has been a good deal of running talk and nutrition talk.

I took my very first ice bath the other day. Dayum. That was more helpful than I anticipated. Do any of you guys ever do that?

Demonpenz · 01-03-2014, 08:58 AM

Russian shower is where you dump ice on your head. People say it works, but I haven't seen science back it up.

Omaha · 01-03-2014, 09:35 AM

I was in for 15 minutes. Just the waist down. I would think dumping ice on myself whilst in the shower would be something completely different.
