*.* 2013 General Fitness Thread *.*
Welcome to 2013! Now get your ass in top physical condition!
**From the 2012 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. |

Don't just hammer distance. Work some intervals. |

Solid advice. I do intervals on a treadmill once a week. Usually 5x800 with .25 miles of a jog speed in between.

I'd like to go back to eating for a moment - I know many of you eat after you complete your workout, is this truly the best? does it matter, just when you eat?
I know this and many of my questions are old and q's but bear with me as I knock the dust off. |

I actually does not according to what I read. There's no magic window. I think it's just a good idea to do it sometime within 24 hours, though. Get your protein old man.

i made a beautiful stir-fry tonight - but I HAD to eat when I got home, I was starved. Let it digest for an hour and kicked it to the gym. Is this wrong? Am I somehow depriving myself, here?

This probably isn't the most super scientific explanation, but during catabolism where your muscles are broken down after a workout, this is the time to be munching on high quality foods to help repair. Don't waste it by counteracting with a Big Mac!

Attempted a PR on the bench yesterday morning... missed it by >< much (think I fatigued myself on some of the prior sets). Probably try again next Monday, even though I haven't been going ultra-heavy two weeks in a row. Going to do slightly less reps on the early sets and see if that makes the difference.

If you are lifting heavy (to you) weights all the time, then you need to eat all the time. So, yes, eat after you lift; then eat again a few hours later; then eat again a few hours after that, and so on.
