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.

Casein is thicker, but it doesn't really make a difference in terms of muscle building.

I think there were some recent study's done showing whey to be superior in aiding muscle growth.

Long term, it doesn't really make a difference. Whey stimulates MPS faster, casein does it for longer. They both elicit the same effect in the end.

I have always been told to take whey after a workout and casein at night prior to going to bed. That seems to make sense, but I'm pretty sure I'm about to be told I'm wrong.

You're not wrong. It just doesn't really matter that much.

Down about 20lbs in 6 weeks on keto and I'm able to maintain strength on my lifts so far. Look flat a bit but it will be worth in a few months.

I have put on 12lbs in last couple of weeks. Going to need to drop it soon.

I strained my left shoulder/rotator area fairly significantly - What do you all think - one week off?

Let your shoulder tell you. Find ways to work around it whilst it heals. Legs, sprints, and cock pushups are all good options

i will do Abs tomorrow - It's such a struggle to find the correct amount of weight, though these nicks are always going to be there.

Yeah, I turned the corner a few years ago where I have some amount of pain every day. I really took feeling awesome for granted when I was in my 20s. I've pretty much stopped waiting for everything to be good again. Good luck with the shoulder.

It's on my left side, go figure - my weaker of the two sides.
