Got really bored of forums and when i came on here and read comments, just started bursting with fanboy rage at general idiocy. So, as this thread title suggested a while ago. I started gyming with my friend about 8 weeks ago. Been almost 2-3 years since i last started lifting any sort of weights. So far having quite a bit of fun. Goal for the year is to lose weight, building strength and muscle. 

Nice thread and keep up the great work. I'll ask for help if i have questions in the future. 

I'm one of the crazy bodyweight guys. Not saying the there is anything wrong with lifting, but I feel that it causes more injuries. Got back into it about two and a half months ago. Up to 40 pullups, 170 squats, 170 pushups and, 170 sit ups a day. I add 10 squats, pushups, and situps every week. I hope to eventually work my way up to 500 of each and 200 pull ups. Basically, I work out like I'm in prison.

I've got a few PRs in my sight. Squatting 500lbs and deadlifting 550lbs for certain. Bench press I should easily get to 300 and OHP to 200. These numbers are pretty general but I'm confident I can hit them and then some

Thank you and welcome aboard!

If you are moving weight around then it's good in my books. Except for Crossfit - sometimes I look at it and feel like it's way too dangerous.

If you end up being one of those dudes who can do those airwalks on the pull up bar, and the human flag; stuff like that - I will have mad respect for you haha

Improve my dead lift, clean, jerk, front squat, back squat, and press weights and just continue healthy life style.

Aside from a few people doing curls in the squat rack, and other interesting improvisations, I'd say that the gym after New Years is in pretty good shape! If anything, I'm noticing that the resolutioners act as more of an audience than anything else. I don't mind them too much this year.
I also just today witnessed a huge Lumberjack dude with a big beard deadlift an insane amount of weight. Though I'd share about manly-man haha

Awesome goals. I want to improve my dead lift and squat this year. Both excercises I have been avoiding for fear of injuring myself but now I am ready to take them on. 

I am currently on a lean bulk for the next few weeks in order to gain some size. I lost a bit too much size on my Cut ha

Main concerns are knees and back, my advice is work your way up to be certain on form when pushing personal records, if it feels wrong bail immediately.

Exactly, I have spent the last two weeks looking at videos of correct form and also practicing with low weights ~ 15Kg on each side to get the correct from and movements down before attempting my body weight.

I'm starting to exercise more using a stationary bike. One of my New Years' goals is to get ripped like Noble.

Real talk now. I got this stationary bike (it's small enough to fit in my room). So the other day I got on it, and put the tension up all the way. I rode at moderate to low for about 35 minutes. The next day, I try it and within two minutes I feel this really sharp pain in my thigh, possibly leading around the pelvic region to the groin and I can no longer continue.

I guess I just shocked my body way too fast, as this is the first time I'm really trying to exercise right. How long should I wait until I go at it again? Also should I go for lower tension, but more intensity? What's more beneficial?

Also next time I should probably do some warm ups before getting on the bike :/

Sounds like your body just isn't too used to it yet. It is probably built up lactic acid in the muscles from the last workout, or DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). Once you have been biking for a while you will no longer get DOMS.

Stretching and rolling out with a foam roller (try to visualize physically pushing the lactic acid out of your muscles by rolling on a foam cylinder), as well as light exercise, will help combat DOMS.

Unless I am completely wrong and this is a pulled muscle (which is unlikely), you should be able to do light exercise just fine. In terms of intensity and speed, you could always vary it every now and then to simulate yourself climbing hills and such. I've always thought that interval training was the best method of cardio.

Warm-up stretching won't hurt, but it isn't really necessary for stationary cycling.

Best of luck Slade!
