*.* 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.. |

That's not what a compound exercise is.

And if you are moving the appropriate amount of weight, you won't be able to move the bar that fast, anyway. |

both are very relative when someone is just focusing on putting up the weight and unable to lower it down properly which I went over with correct technique and feeling the muscle contract when you flex while doing 10-12 reps.

Again, that isn't a speed issue.

I couldn't tell if he was trolling or not. If your trying to pull 500 for a triple, you sure as hell aren't going to control the negative or try and 'feel' the muscle.. your going to try and pull as fast as you can (even though the bar may move slow).

I have gotten relatively big, although not super strong by powerlifting standards and I have never gave a shit how the muscle "felt" while I lifted weight. I continuously try to add weight to the bar while focusing on Squats, Deads, Military Press and Bench to start every workout I ever do. |
