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.

My place requires all new members to go through a one on one training program before participating in any of the workouts. There are no "beginner" classes.

This really should apply to power lifting too. You can't take Chubs McCouch and tell him to start squating, deadlifting and power cleaning without some actual instruction. Unless you're a back specialist and you're short on cash.

Thats pretty much what I meant. One on one or with a class, they are gonna give you a broomstick and teach you the basics.

The first day or two after getting back in the gym after a long time always sucks. **** you squats.

This. I was at the gym last night and this fat **** was on the squat rack with awful form (too much bend at the waist and not going deep enough) and what's worse is he was trying to coach his girl on how to do squats too.

Your dedication will be rewarded by the squat gods. And your reward will be difficulty finding pants that fit.

**** you pants industry!!! They either have skinny jeans for hipster vegetarians with the muscle mass of rodents or jeans build for hambeasts.

They're using an opposing grip on a clean, which is ****ing EPIC LULZ.

I couldn't make it past the first 30 seconds.

Check this kid Braden Smith out from Olathe Kansas. He's a senior in high school and benching over 500lbs.. BEAST!

jiveturkey · 01-23-2014, 03:06 PM

Kids these days, am I right?

My gym is in the heart of the Blue Valley district and it's crawling with monster high schoolers. And bitchy over dressed girls that pile around a machine. 6 bitches watching 1 exercise and taking up a bunch of room.
