are you serious? Bloody oath i would notice her, as would 99% of guys. And unfortunately the main reason is probably because all the chicks walking around her are overweight. Who cares if there is a bit of airbrushing, or her left nostril is bigger than her right. She's worked bloody hard, got a great physique, yet she stills gets shot down. I swear people that keep healthy and fit get criticised much more than people who are lazy and overweight slobs('curvy' if you watch the today tonight). Probably why australia is one of the fattest nations per capita in the world.

And with all that she is still more pleasing on the eye than 99% of females out there

To start with that's only if you believe in the blood group diet, which was 'invented' by one man with no hard evidence. Alkaline protein powders have nothing to do with digestive enzymes or anything anyway. It will just help alkalise your body through added minerals, as protein powder is mildly acidic. Just eat fruit and vege's regularly to keep your body alkaline, cheaper and better for you anyway. Everyone should be keeping their body alkaline as our diets are stupidly acidic these days, and acidic bodies are the cause of half our health issues if not more. Digestive enzymes in protein is another thing altogether, and can help you digest dairy if you are lactose intolerant. However, whey isolate generally has no lactose in it, and there are many protein powders on the market that are lactose free. Or alternatively you can buy digestive enzymes separately if you are having major problems breaking down food, or lactase enzyme tablets if you just have trouble with dairy.

Who is the fastest over 40km? Horses for courses

It would still have the heater box

It is based more on first time trainers and people with non specific goals though. I also disagree with the part in regards to military: The unanimous view of all these people is that their strength has a pivotal bearing on their ability to function in the toughest situations they encounter, and that endurance plays a much smaller, if not insignificant, role in any modern shitstorm. Endurance is much more important than strength in a military environment, especially in a shitstorm

yeah fair enough, doesn't really matter, as long as you're all over it

I'm no expert on the physical requirements on competitive motorbike riding, but I'm guessing apart from the strength aspect, the fitter you are the better. So apart from your strength work, just do a few circuit/tabata training sessions a week, even a lot of cross fit workout are pretty decent. Anything that will increase your fitness is going to be a benefit. I wouldn't worry about your heart rate, doesn't matter how fit you are you'll still hit a high hr when your adrenalin is up. It's just the fitter you are, the better your body will cope when your hear rate is through the roof.

I saw your log and your weights and sets/reps look all over the place. Don't count warm up sets. What's the difference between two working sets and two max sets if your trying to get 10 reps on each? I would suggest cutting it back to either the old 3 sets of 10 reps, or 5 sets of 5. This doesn't including warmups. Once you have warmed up, pick a weight, and try to do 5reps 5 times with it. Once you can do this, put the weight up next workout. Do this for all your exercises. If you go up, and you end up getting 5 reps, then 5, then 4 , then 3, then 2........this is good. Don't drop the weight, leave it, and stay on it until you can do 5x5. Then move up again. Progressive overload is the basics, but if your weights and reps are all over the place, then you'll end getting to where you want, but it will take you a hell of a lot longer than it should have.

I think we are already getting a bit too scientific There's no magic rep range. Stamina, or muscle endurance which i assume we are talking about, has a lot more to do with it than lifting weights. It's our lactic acid threshold, it's our vo2 max, it's our mental side. It's all subjective. What sort of endurance are you looking for? Do you want to do 50 reps on something, do you want to do 10 reps, do you want to be able to do 5 different exercises with no rest in between, did you want to run 10km, or swim 5k's? You can shoot off in a hundred different directions with this topic, but at the end of the day, what are you're goals? Because that's what you have to tailor your training for. But for most people, if you are lifting heavy, doing high rep training also, plus some cardio intensive workouts, then you should cover everything. On a side note, with 6 sets of 10 reps, at what stage do you increase the weight?

I don't believe so. I think that's where a variety of training has to come into it. If you always stick in your 5 and under rep range and your max squat is 100kg for e.g., then if you drop down to 50kg, you'll be able to smash out that weight in terms of strength, however as you haven't trained in a high rep range you wouldn't be used to that lactic acid buildup and the lung efficiency needed, so although your muscles can physically lift the weight no worries, you may struggle or find yourself absolutely rooted afterwards. That's why it is good to do different rep ranges, and circuit/tabata style training too.

No don't send me any pm's, i forget to reply to those things Everyone knows what they have to do, it's not rocket science. However people make it a more complicated than it is. You have to lift right, and you have to eat right. Not that hard. When i ran my pt business, I'd have heaps of guys come in and say, "mate, i've been training for a few years, not really getting anywhere, what can I do?" Can you deadliest 140kg? Nah, i don't really deadliest. Ok, how often do you squat? What, squat? And that's how it is everywhere. People want to look like these bodybuilders and their cross fit hero's, but they don't want to train the same way. You have to lift heavy. For the first few years my program was basically 5x5 on everything, increasing weight whenever i could. Heavy means heavy for you. It does't mean go and try to squat 100kgs over your max. It means hit your limits every training session. And keep adding on as you go. Bodybuilders didn't get strong lifting light weights. People see them just doing 10 isolation exercises, so assume that's what they should be doing. But, do you see the weight they use for their isolation exercises?? It's not a pissy 20kg dumbbell curl. The stronger you are, the more weight you can use for your isolation exercises if you choose to do them. Take cross fit for example. 80% of people doing them are dicks, and blab their mouth about how it's all about rep training and circuit training etc. But have you looked at the elite crossfiters, and the cross fit games. They are monsters. They can deadlift 240+, they can clean over 120, they snatch big weights, they squat big weights, they push press pretty big weights too. You think they got that way training light? No, they lift heavy. Because if you can do a few reps at a heavy thing, you can do more reps at a lighter thing. From a wholistic point of view i would do some circuit training, tabata style things and even running, because you want to be good all-round. And everything will compliment each other in some way So, in finishing lift heavy. In anything you do. It doesn't mean do 3 reps. I do 20 reps on things. But I lift as heavy as i can for those 20 reps. In regards to diet, everyone knows. Eat clean and lots of it. I used to manage a health food/supplement for a few years(boy do i have some stories), and I'd get girls/guys come in daily, asking what supplement to take for this, and what will help them for this. Then i'd ask their diet and it was average at best. They knew what they had to do, but they just wanted to buy something to replace it. And these lazy people are the people that stay the same year after year. In my opinion if your diet is not 100%, work on that, stop being lazy and stop making excuses. And stop reading into this shit like a bunch of scientists. Fruit, vege's, eggs, meat, grains = healthy, fast food, chips, soft drink=not healthy, that's as in-depth as you have to go. People that go so deep into it are usually the people who are trying to find some magically combination. How about you just do what every other healthy, fit person out there does, and has done for the last who the f knows how many years Anyway everyone knows this shit, it's just people don't listen

I don't agree at all. Regardless of all the physical aspects of it, which i don't know about as i haven't researched it, you have the mental side. And if doing it makes you feel better, and happier, and less grumpy....then i would say it's good for wellbeing

you wouldn't even notice it anyway so lets not argue over silly little things like that

I use pendlays at work, I think one of them might be an abc bar too. Will let you know when i go to get one

nice, it's a good gym. I will see you towards then end of next year

not really mate, just protein powder now and again. I mainly use the gym at work, plus i have a small setup at home....but yeah, been away half the year

just a muscle motion one. Was looking at either the pendlay or the roque bar, both are around $600 Yeah i saw that clip of Max, my exact words were "asshole"

hey if you have the money and time to use it, go for it. It might be that 2% that makes a difference. However unless i was a competing bodybuilder or elite athlete of some sort then i'll spend that 2% elsewhere, usually at jb hifi

over 20 and under 30

2kg's of steak or chicken won't cost $96, tastes heaps better too Anyway each to their own, i used to use heaps of supps once upon a time(only because i sold them so cheap )

My bar is shit, already bent and it's 3 weeks old. Anyway, managed to jerk 125 from behind the neck the other day, got 115 from the front. Now if i could only clean it first Also 5x5 of snatches at 60kg with 30sec rest between, bloody hard as. Went to squat afterwards and thought f this once i hit 160, didn't even get one rep, ha ha, legs were useless One of the guys at my gym did 30x60kg snatches in 1min52sec, which is crazy, so i want to try and beat that

Geez dude just buy some steak, heaps easier

5 years in between shots, but i pretty much got to how I am now in maybe 2 years??? Just been maintaining pretty much since then, I do a lot of running and circuit training also, plus other random things, not to mention I'm away for work half the year, so a bit hard to get consistent training in.

me a few years ago now and me now Ps. My stomach isn't that hairy, just a couple ink stains i don't really wanna flash everywhere
