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. [Reply]

I'm the same way. If I know I have shit going on during my normal time I try to bite the bullet and get up early. I hate lifting as soon as I roll out of bed but its the only way for me to not miss some days. [Reply]

Workout before or not at all.
No sense working out on a day you plow beers. Unless you are participating in the beer mile run. [Reply]

Same but every time if workout in the morning and then go get fucked up at night I would get sick as fuck. Working out is hard on your immune system and so is drinking. Besides you need a rest day maybe even 2 a week. [Reply]

I think I'll go in the morning. Just messes up my plans I already had set. [Reply]
So I know there are a couple of guys in here that play soccer.....Silock and penguinz if I remember right.
I'm going to be taking my 10 year old daughter out this summer to run and get prepared for the upcoming soccer season. She normally plays defense but they tried her out on offense last year. I want to be able to work with her on building up her endurance but also her speed. I know the old adage....you can't teach speed but I want to see if I can work with her on improving it a little bit.
Any type of running activities that will help with that? [Reply]

If there's a speed coach in the area and you are willing to pay a bit, having a kid learn the correct way to run is going to pay off in all sports. I just listened to a Tim Ferriss podcast with Ryan Flaherty who is a badass speed trainer for Nike (and works with a lot of NFL people), and he was talking about this... basically said that people just throw their kids into sports without actually teaching them how to run.
As kids get older, speed/power is all about force/weight ratio which Flaherty develops with hex bar deadlifts (you probably don't want your 10 year old doing those, though). Here's a pretty great article, though: http://www.8weeksout.com/2015/07/08/...-for-football/ [Reply]
