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.

That sucks. Knees are tricky. I hope it resolves itself soon.

That sucks man.

When I lived in Sidney I got tendinitis in my patellar tendon. it was a bitch whore. You don't have to hack yourself all up to get an injury. If it's the knee, I usually go get it checked out. Ice the crap out of it in the interim.

Doc said no meds and I'm supposed to take care of it through diet and exercise and I have 6 months to do it. I think I can do it faster then that.

I posted this about three weeks ago and didn't even get a "damn dude, you're about to blow up and die". Anyways three weeks in and I'm down 10 pounds. My training regimen has been to work on my golf game, do some Joey D golf exercises( I throw in a couple sets of tris, bis and flys with the workout bands and do a few abs) followed by some treadmill. I'm trying real hard not to over train because I don't want to start something I can't maintain as a lifestyle and it screws up my golf. Of course I've changed my diet with the biggest thing being no cokes which I love and no McDonalds sausage & hash browns. Those two things alone are huge. I kept telling my wife that stuff is bad but she kept bringing it and I kept eating it. No more. I'm still taking in to many calories from alcohol though

Now I need to do it again over the next three weeks and I'll be 20lbs down.

You do know that alcohol reduces the body's production of testosterone, right?

As well, hops (which are used in beer) is/are a natural estrogenic.

Booze and beer basically makes you a bitch.

Pfft. Errrbody tries to do chest on Monday so it's too hard to get a bench. That's weaksauce, bro. I do legs to start the week. That way I won't skip it. I have to do legs to get to chest day/best day.
