I guess we filled up the old one... http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=280149

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.

Question:

I slightly tweaked my lower back a few weeks ago (it's fine now), but I've been using the hack squat machine (the upright one with the curved floor, not the one that looks like a reverse leg press) as I've slowly upped my dead lifts to get my lower back right again.

I'm almost to the point of going back to the bar for squats. I've been doing sets with 250 on the hack squat. What weight should I be using when I go back to the bar?

I generally do 4x8 when it comes to squats.

I am a pussy and never go above 185 because of back issues.

Squats have always been one of my best lifts.

When I was at the best shape in my life, I had a 400 lb ORM (I was 5'8, 155 at the time).

And I'm definitely not pulling 250 when I go back to the bar (at least to start with).

I used to be able to do 315 easy. But two bulging discs in lower back prevent that. Can't do dead's either. :'(

I'd work into it. I took a squat break a while back due to a hammy injury. I started light as shit and used the first workout back to build new benchmarks.

I'm in.

I can't do back squats either.

Front squats use way less weight and are just as effective for me.

I promise to NOT ever recommend Jumping Jacks to anyone ever again !

I've been doing 3x8 sets of heavy kegels for the last two months, but my dick is still as small as ever (and maybe smaller)! Anyone have some advice on how to achieve the big penis?

Dick size is overrated. It's all about the jawline.
