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:

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.

My guess is that the plan he described is what he found to be the easiest way for him to keep his calories down. That's probably where the trial & error comes into play.

Hang on man. Those greens and fruit are a bunch of bunk. You need meat. Lots and lots of meat! Otherwise you will be a puny assed punk.

Minimal meat, powdered protein. I'm in that last 20 to 15% of body fat.

I've managed to lose 5lbs permanent per week past the excess weight.
