Starting Strength wiki has closed today. Are there any alternatives?

http://ift.tt/1nEGWH8

A lot of the SS links in the SS FAQ in the wiki lead to a "wiki closed" page. Anyone knows what is up, how to fix it, or about other alternatives?

Not asking for a medal, just proud I can still function today.

42yo, dad bod male here.

Yesterday morning, I did a heavy lower body workout and some back exercises, along with a series of shuttle runs. Then I picked up sticks in my yard and did some gardening. After that I hit golf balls at the range for an hour. In the evening I played a father-daughter full-court basketball game and ran the court the whole time.

I've been doing a workout designed for golf fitness since early January and I've stuck with it. It has a lot of squats and deadlifts and core activities, along with some upper body. Three days a week, I do treadmill where I stay at 120bpm for 30 minutes.

I can move today without much soreness except in my feet. A few months ago, this would have hurt me. I'm still overweight because I eat (way) too much, but I'm strong now and glad my body works pretty well.

M/17 224 lbs - 165 lbs in 4 months!

Here

How I started off;

In November I decided I wanted to lose weight and become ripped for Summer (still not where I want to be). So I started running... A lot. At my peak I was running 64 kilometers a week, like so:

Day Distance (kilometers)
Monday 6
Tuesday 6
Wednesday 13
Thursday 6
Friday 13
Saturday 10
Sunday 10

I didn't keep track of my weight, but that continued for about 3 months. On Saturdays and Sundays I ran the 10 kilometers to my gym and spent about 2 hours doing circuits of all the machines, 10 reps of 10 on pretty much everything.

A month ago;

A month ago I signed up to two gyms, one near my home and the other near my school, and I've been going there everyday! My routine is as follows:

Chest: Monday, Thursday.

Do this in the order 3 times

Exercise Weight (kg) Reps Sets Rest (s)
Clap Push-ups Me 10 1 5
High Cable Chest Fly 13.75 10 1 5
Dumbbell Chest Press 20x2 10 1 5

Biceps: Monday, Thursday.

Exercise Weight (kg) Reps Sets Rest (s)
Bent-over Bicep Curl 22* 10* 1 5
Bent-over Bicep Curl 24* 10* 1 5
Bent-over Bicep Curl 26* 10* 1 5

*for each arm.

Core: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

Repeat each 3 times in the order.

Exercise Weight (kg) Reps Sets Rest
Russian Twist 14 30 1 10
Yoga Ball Pushups me 5 both feet on ball, 3 with only right, then 3 with only left, then 5 both feet on ball to finish 1 30
Plank me 10s feet together, 10 sec feet apart, 5 sec one arm up, 5 sec other arm up 1 30
Vertical Plank me Hold for 30 seconds 1 30
Leg Raise (Feet to touch dumbbell 14 15 1 10

Back: Tuesday, Friday.

Exercise Weight (kg) Reps Sets Rest

Triceps: Tuesday, Friday.

Exercise Weight (kg) Reps Sets Rest
Tricep Push Down Cable 27 15 3 15
Tricep Extension With E-Bar 15 10 3 20

Legs: Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday. I don't do any leg exercises, I'm still cutting so instead I do 2 hours on the treadmill at a normal jog.

Nutrition Eating under 1000 cals a day as I'm cutting, eating a mix of nuts, broccoli, and fruit for lunch in school, and a mix of brown rice and either chicken or salmon for dinner. Drinking only water. I take protein during school days to replace lost protein.

A bit of motivation?

First time post here, guys. I'm Andrew. I'm 29 and I've been on a weight loss journey for about 4 years now. Started out at about 350lbs and dropped down to about 270 over the course of the first 3 years. Today, I stepped on the scale at 297lbs. Fuck. I know the problem. It's not a problem at the gym, but at the dinner table like so many others. I know how to eat, what to eat, and how much to eat. I'm probably one of the most nutritionally-educated, fat guys around. To be perfectly honest, I'm not entirely sure what that point of this post even is. Maybe a bit of motivation? A tip or two? My gym habits are consistent and I've definitely made some gains over the years and my cardio conditioning is the best it's ever been! But really, to me, that all means shit compared to my health. I have aspirations of being a personal trainer on my small home town. I want people to make changes that last a lifetime, but I vowed not to pursue until my testimony is one that I can use. Help guys. I can't fail now, and I'll be damned if I see that scale creep over 300.
