*.* 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. |

I am now a size 14. When I started, I was a size 20. So close to breaking into the 180's. Should be there next week. Currently sitting at 65 lbs lost.

Is there any other topic or subject out there that so many damn people pretend to be "experts" on, but yet don't know there head from their asses more than fitness? I see someone post a fitness topic on FB and it's like blood in the water for all these "gurus" wanting to sale their products or programs and offer up their 2 cents.

![]() Currently goals: Long term - be at 25% body fat Hopefully not quite as long term - be able to do a pull-up Short term goal - get into the 180s Short term goal - break PR after PR after PR after PR Sometimes a short term goal - get through a workout (or a set even) I make goals every time I go to the gym. Oh! A couple of more hopefully shorter term goals are to make thrusters my bitch, and to master my form on a front squat. ![]() |

Maybe, but they also give a lot of poor advice. However, why people seem medical or nutrition advice from people on FB is beyond me. Go to someone that has some training in that area. At least in this thread you know who knows their shit and who doesn't so you can ignore the morans ![]() |

![]() They must have multiple people on there that they trust. I posed the same question regarding leg cramps on FB that I did in here, and I got the expected "drink water" and "eat bananas", but I also know a couple of PT's, so I mostly waited to see what types of advice they responded with. Of course, I texted my PT to ask him, and I definitely trust him. |
