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.

A 10,500 calorie deficit diet per week, smart or not really?

I've done it. Doing it right now. It's not that bad. Go for it. You're going to want a high carb, super low fat refeed once every week or two.

One positive thing about working with my co-worker is that there are days when she has me sooo ready to hit the gym.

I'm in good shape but I want to be one of those people who can't leave their bed, it would be awesome. 1600 lbs with a full bucket of KFC.

I was out of town until late last night, didn't have a chance to weigh in. I lost 3 pounds, down to 337.

I was in San Francisco with a group and the eating was not optimal, but we walked all over the freaking city. Who needs a stair climber in San Francisco? It's crazy.

Big step for me to emerge from a lot of bad food and still post a 3 pound loss.

Think I will, I want to drop some extra weight before the start of hockey season for me.

I have until the end of August to drop 15-20lbs.

First workout in six weeks. Had to halve my weights though. Using 35-pound dumbbells like a pathetic weakling.

Nothing ripped apart inside me, though, so happy about that. Got through everything I do except pullups. Don't want to put too much strain on my midsection.

Trying the armstrong pull-up program while incorporating chins every once in awhile. Just finished the 2nd week by knocking out 77 chins in a 12-minute span. I'm pleased.

**luv** · 06-27-2014, 05:51 PM

Got up to 6 reps at 205 on my deadlifts. Got up to 95 on front squats. And 135 on hip lifts.

Thanks. My record is 225, but I only did it once. Doing 6 of these felt awesome!
