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]

Saw Sweet Daddy Williams at the gym today. Came in, put lifting gloves on. Complete 5-6 sets of weighted ab crunch and side bends with a plate. Took him about half an hour for those sets because he was on his iPhone most of the time. [Reply]

I've also been doing some lifting, but I really need to get over my hatred for crowds in the weight area. Been cutting those sessions short.
Oh well... overall a decent first week back. Time to get nice and bronze this weekend.
Been about two weeks now and I've gotten my time down to 3 miles- 25:53 and 2 miles- 16:48.
I do run on a treadmill at 0% incline so maybe add 30-60 seconds for a real time
However, today, after about 2 -3 minutes on my cool-down walk, I decided to check my heart rate on the treadmill feature for the first time since starting to run. It read 160. I was pretty concerned with how high it was and worked back up to a moderate pace (5.5-6.0 MPH) so I could check it again. After just a couple minutes it was up to 202. I have no idea how high it got during my actual run, but it kind of freaked me out.
Now, I took about 5mg of adderall an hour before my run, but I didn't think much of it because that is basically a toddler's dose. I take 5mg twice a day, but even as low as that is, is this something I should be concerned about? Anyone have experience with stimulants like adderall and cardio training? Should I ditch it?
I guess the other possibility is that I'm just out of shape and should slow down my progress. [Reply]

I would like to listen too. I've tried cheap and more expensive buds for lifting and within 1-2 months I think my sweat and the constant cord pulling from squats/deads destroys them. I have yet to fine one making it past 2 months. [Reply]
They're called iFrogz or some bullshit like that. Roughly $11.00 at Wal-Mart. They generally last me a few months before one of the buds loses sound from the constant cord twisting when I take my phone out of my pocket and put it back in. [Reply]

Yea that must be it with me too! One side loses sound and I just can't have that. Makes me feel like I have swimmer's ear when listening to music. I think it's the pulling and twisting of the cord since I belt up for squats/deads. Damn. I've tried those, only a few months from them too. [Reply]
