*.* 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. |

3000m row tonight. 13:00.5
I hate it when I'm so close to being under a minute mark. Seeing as how I was shooting for under 14:00.0, I'll take it. About 4:20.1 per 1000m whenever I can do a 1000m row in under 4:00.0 now, but hey, I just did three of those without stopping! ![]() |

I've always wanted to do a strict standing military press of my bodyweight. I got within 5lbs once and haven't been back up there again because of this trap pain. I think that's a cool goal though to shoot for. Nice weight you are moving.

The worst part of leg day isn't the workout itself or climbing the stairs to my third floor apartment when I get home. The true test will be when I go to walk down the stairs in the morning...lol. |

Good point, I honestly don't know all the different kinds and what they do. I do know several guys that have done or currently do use, most of them look bloated and have acne. |

I can tell you that my son at 17 was strong than most of them in a lot of lifts and I know he wasn't doing anything. He wasn't as physically fit in the WODs, but was super strong. A week after he turned 17 his maxes were: 425 squat, 500 DL, 300 clean and 300 bench, so I guess most people thought he was on something! I never said i cared who's juicing and who's not, I honestly don't hold it against anyone. I'd do it if there weren't side effects and long term health problems. It makes sports better and doesn't affect me. |

He timed about a 4.29 in the 40, right? Got a baby's arm holding an apple connected to his crotch, by chance? |

Sure, but that is the exception and not the rule. And I'll bet these people spend a small percentage of their total workout time on the treadmill. (Im ignoring the fact that you are making a wild assumption about how "in shape" I am)
