Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Okay, Belly...... evidence of our members kicking some ASS.
Visible evidence of a fellow member working hard to battle the bulge should be a great motivator.
Like I said, I'm not real sure how realistic that is in 2 years. I'll see how I progress with Starting Strength and reevaluate as I plateau and reset. My bench is going to be the primary thing holding me back.Originally Posted by 02ducky
Starting Strength is a very no frills, straight forward novice barbell training program. It's a linear progression, 3 day per week program, usually Monday Wednesday and Friday with no accessory work to start but eventually adds in Power Cleans, Chin ups, and Back extensions.
Here's the initial program, alternating A & B.
Workout A
3x5 Squat
3x5 Press
1x5 Deadlift
Workout B
3x5 Squat
3x5 Bench Press
1x5 Deadlift
Mark Rippetoe's book Starting Strength will go into more detail than you've ever wanted on the form for each lift and the reason for that form. He's also got a ton of videos on YouTube. I haven't taken lifting seriously in 9 years so I'm going to put on my big boy panties and start out with an empty bar for each lift. Adding 5 lbs each workout. Take things nice and slow and let the program do the work for me. I could start out with a decent amount of weight in each lift but I'm not trying to do this in months but rather years.
I'll continue on Starting Strength until it quits working. That's vague but it's how a linear progression works. I'm not 100% sure what I'll transition to once the LP has ran it's course but I'll probably go with Texas Method.
Here's the wiki for Starting Strength and my favorite lifting blog.

Cool, Blacklabel..
No worky yet, Belly.
Tease, it's still processing.
Despite not being active for a long time, I tend to nerd out on programming, mobility and nutrition. My still fat ass doesn't reflect that at all. Lol.Cool, Blacklabel..

Zero motivation to go fast when I run alone all the time. My kid trying to pass me on her bike and me holding her off was great for me tonight. By myself I never would have kept up the pace for that long.
Plus, I guess it depends on what you consider to be fast. I think the fastest 5K I've ever run was something like 25 minutes and that was 4 years and 25ish lbs ago.
