*.* 2012 General Fitness Thread *.*
Welcome to 2012! Now get your ass in top physical condition!
**From the 2011 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. Last edited by penguinz; 01-03-2012 at 07:38 AM.. |

I still have issues with the lack of free weight equipment and weekend hours. I really prefer free-weight bench press and squat racks but my gym has none and the place closes at 9 pm on Fridays and 7pm Saturdays and Sundays which blows. Grunting and dropping weights are not really issues for me. I rarely ever do either; but at the same time I recognize the fact that I don't lift as hard as some others. I think it's stupid to outlaw that kind of shit. It's a gym. If people feel intimidated by others working out then they're just big, fat pussies and need to toughen up anyway. |

It works great for chest, deltoid, trap, bicep, tricep exercises at low to medium weight at medium speed .

Hell, I thought they were all 24 hour. I can see why they'd have crowding problems.

easy, to make the muscle dense and cut first to avoid injury when you do heavy weight to prevent injury. You flex the focused muscle(s) while doing the rep with proper technique without jerky movement that could **** up your joints and cause tears in the ligaments when the lifter's body isn't fully prepared to do heavier to maxed out weight and reps.

da fuk am I wasting time doing all these heavy deads & squats when I should be going light. Stupid football strength coaches messed me up!! You got a pic homie? Wanna see how dense and cut you are while poppin' blisters curling 70lbs dumbells (which you consider your light/medium weight) for strict slow reps of 10-12. |

Blisters. If you got blisters lifting weights, you're doing it wrong.

not that heavy since I had a stroke which affected my left side with significant atrophy. So for me it's all about technique, so chill out.
