I was gonna bump this today anyway... Thanks PSC.

How's everyone doing?

Despite my hurt arm and back, I've been going consistently still... Even on days I don't feel like it...

Been doing more cardio than lifting lately, gonna switch back to more lifting in about two weeks.

i'm easing back into it. couple of muscles are achy, but i'm going to stick to aerobic style lifting until i toughen up so i don't have to walk around like a bag of smushed meat.

i know, no pain no gain. i'll be living by that principle soon enough.

Yeah, unless I really go nuts on one specific thing now, I rarely get sore anymore. Sometimes my chest will still get sore after chest day, but its not bad.

I suspect when I get back to more lifting vs more aerobic stuff and especially if I start going really heavy which is the plan.

after a certain point, my muscles begin to crave that kind of soreness

Good for you PSC. The first few weeks suck ass. Once you get passed that, its not too bad.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

my problem has always been wanting to work out too much. days off kill me sometimes.

[88 Bronco]

I know what you're saying. I hit the gym 6 days a week, 3 weight training, 3 cardio. I use my day off to do lawn work, so it appeases that desire to do some physical activity.

i'm probably gonna settle into 3 heavies a week and just do everything

probably get some kettlebells instead of barbells

[Darth Biscuit]

I'm the same way on both counts... I love that post workout feeling and if I miss a day, even a scheduled day off, I don't feel right. I'm totally addicted to working out.

Will start training in a couple weeks for the half marathon at the Speedway in March. Hello 5am wake up call for the next 3 months.

I'm going to start train for a 10k in January. That will be the start of my cutting phase. I plan on getting down to about 8% body fat.

I'm going to do a creatine cycle my 2nd month and probably get a good black powder supplement for preworkout. any suggestions?

[Mr. Belding]

I've been a slob for the past three months and I feel the difference.
I'm trying to let myself go for a bit just to see a ridiculous improvement. I had gotten back into running shape over the summer - nothing spectacular, 20 minute 5k. I haven't done that since I was in high school so you marathon runners can eat it.
But I'll be getting back into my routine come the new year. Right now I have this weird 4 pack/ love handle combo thing going on. that's going bye-bye.

Don't know how many of you have tried crossfit, but I have been doing a vamped up version called SOFwods (special operational forces workout of the day) which is, ironically, based in Charlotte. I love it. I thought I was in shape before doing it, I've been lifting since high school and the good ole army got me into a leaner shape. But not only have I been able to maintain a 280- 300 PT score ( last one, 101 push-ups, 99 sit-ups, 14:10 2 mile my worst PT test to date) I have been able to add almost 4-10 pounds of muscle to my smaller frame. All my lifts have progressed significantly . For instance, my deadlift went from 320 to 375 in 2 months of hard training. I haven't tested my back squat but I can tell you it's some where close to 400ish. Try it!!!! Surrounded by motivated dudes and hot chicks can only help.

i think i'm gonna take up 20 minute jump rope sessions with some kettlebell excercises on my off days

From about late October until first of December, I was on creatine and taking a pre... I've tried several and honestly most of them your body gets used to pretty quickly... The best one I've tried is probably 1.M.R.

Weirdly, for about two weeks AFTER I got off creatine, I was stronger than when I was on it...
