*.* 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. |

It's weird (to me). Back when I was counting calories and trying to just stick to under 1300 per day, I always felt hungry. Now, my main focus is trying to get my protein in. I average 1200 calories per day, and I'm never hungry. |

I actually cut out a lot of carbs whenever I started focusing on lean protein. I no longer drink soda. I only have a teaspoon of mayo with a can of tuna, and just about the only time I have any bread or pasta is during my cheat meal for the week. I'm doing okay with what I'm doing now. I got lucky in that my PT is also a nutrition specialist (although, I'm finding that most lifters are VERY knowledgeable about nutrition).

I haven't eaten cereal in years. I think eating cereal for breakfast is complete nonsense. |

Eh. Most days I have an apple for breakfast, go work out, come home and slug a 50g protein shake. Lunch varies. In the evening I usually have two chicken breasts for dinner with vegetables. Is adding two eggs to that really gonna be that big a deal, besides extra calories?

Also chopping up a few fresh chives in eggs is the bomb. |

tomatoes and eggs are a great idea. I like that.
