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.

I wish I could take 6 months off each year like Newchief's friend, but I must be doing something wrong. Probably too much gym time.

I see. Why don't you run the taxes through your partnership?

Ah. I still work for the client I went to work for. That's my "real job." The partnership is the side deal.

****ING PARS DEFECT. ****.

Spine got ****ed on a light DL. It slipped and I couldn't bail out in time to keep it from straining my back muscles.

:sigh: Another week off. At least.

It's why I don't go heavy with anything other than dumbbells at this point. Try to maintain absolute strict form versus weight.

Seems to work better at this point.

It honestly has nothing to do with form. I had to stop doing back squats because of it before. Looks like deadlifts may be next.

Mine is a problem where the bone "hooks" of the spine that lock together never formed into bone. It's just cartilage on one side of a vertebrae that is locking my lower spine into place. The problem is that when the spine is put under tension, it relies on the bone structure of the spine to maintain alignment. Because part of my spine never calcified into bone, the cartilage isn't strong enough to keep it from slipping. So, my lower back muscles have to take over if it slips out and they just aren't built to prevent that from happening. All of that = pain.

I switched to front squats and split squats because it put far less weight on my back. Deadlifts may have to go now. It wasn't even a heavy DL. It was only 275. The first two reps were fine and clean, but it just let go on the third one.

My injury was absolutely due to poor form.
