No Crust Racing

Small update, had a good 15min stretch/warm up then got into a lighter session tonight. Aimed for 2 sets of everything (with lighter weight on back engaging exercises so squat, DL and row) and got through it all OK, feeling the same today so no worse than previous. Interestingly the discomfort is centralising which I'd think is a good thing maybe? I'm also doing 5mins of jogging in my morning walk, but weird jogging as asked by the physio where I lean a fair way forward and the balls of my feet are not talking all the load, momentum kind of pulls you forward.

And he's right 0_0

I'm not sure what mine are flexed, currently stuck on couch with baby sleeping on my chest. Bigger but not sure how much. Birds, at 6ft and 65kg I was a rake, you must have been close to death at 63 lol Eat a burger man. Boz, I'll trade you some Bench for leg strength. Side bar: Squatted a little for the first time Since last week when my back went south. Physio OK'd it and to my surprise it felt decent. My pelvis is starting to feel different (maybe better in some way?)

I just grabbed the tape and at the biggest point even I have just under 26inches and I can't even squat my own body weight yet and I'm far from fat either so I wouldn't be too caught up on size gents, Birds is smaller but much stronger etc. Where you guys measuring from? I'm just standing up and measuring towards the top half of my leg at the roundest part, flexed it's bigger again. Sidebar, I have skinny legs so u guys must have really skinny legs or I'm measuring wrong somehow.

From Brads email: "Hoops are bent, plates cut and most bar work cut to length. Will get one of them tacked up tomorrow and the other late this week."

Dymatize Elite WPI

Wrong terminology maybe? I just mean a shaker with a ball in it, that's my serious mixer, the only I normally use is just a shaker with a plastic star shaped insert at the top and it goes fine.

My mixer is pretty intense, but how big a clumps are we talking though, have you actually used it?

$10 per kg pretty much. Though as you can see diff protein contents - my point being, realistically if I'm going to see any difference from the lower protein amount given my workload. I'm guessing not.

Pretty much just the cost for the given amount of protein, if I can spend less and get the same amount of protein and BCAAs then it's worth looking at.

I understand the difference, I'm looking at trying the WPC as it's cheaper and given my low goals and ability should be enough. So I'm interested in hearing from anyone using the WPC.

WPC or WPI?

I'm looking at trying the Bulk Nutrients WPC, anyone else using it? Was gonna just grab a kg to start with.

I'm sure Troy will work out "some" way to pay you.

Better make that admit 2 then.

Pretty impressive stuff Dan, well done. A competitive car, decent steering skills and a seemingly lovely wife in the co-driver seat, you're living the dream of many!

Troz you look fine. I already gave you all the homo.

Probably better than 6ft3 Anorexic 80kg Birds?

Thumbs up..... no homo.....

It's personal preference, but even at only 6ft I felt that 80kg or less was way too lean for me, I got down to 78, not by choice, and was way too skinny. That said, I'm more in it for looks than strength numbers, and having said that I mean just wanting to look half decent and healthy and not like an anorexic desk jockey.

The one from NZ doesn't come loaded with Freedom, 'Murica!

Since I'm already getting every comment in my email due to subscription to this thread I'll add my 2 cents. I've more or less always been able to eat what I wanted as I've always been running/gyming, but noted that after spending a few months on my arse from my leg, that my metabolism seems to have dropped a gear (I'm also into my 30s now so no doubt tat plays a role). I'd always prefer to just exercise more and eat what I want, but my current state of leg/back health does not allow over exertion so I've had to be somewhat more mindful at least on portion size. My main point being, what works for one will not always work for everyone else, we're all at different points, wanting different things, and have different bodies trying to achieve it. Do what works for you.

Hey Brad, how's progress going? Got some pics for us yet?
