    Xbox 360 Rrod Fix?

    in PC & Games Discussion

    Posted

    I bought my 360 ages ago second hand off some guy - so no warranty.

    It's got RROD once before and I fixed it and it worked well for a while...

    but

    a few weeks ago it crashed and got the RROD again :P

    so does anyone know of a good online tutorial of how to fix it?

    Keen to do it myself and get it done asap so I can play it while I'm on uni holidays and get a few new games (red dead redemption, madden 11? anything else new??)

    Cheers guys.

    id like to ask a serious question..

    im happy with the development of my hammys... im happy with the thickness and width of my hammys... but my quads are lacking.. especially in the width part.. and mainly the inner part... so ive been thinking of doing front squats, but the weight that i can squat.. my chest and arms cannot hold.. it sits on my collarbone and feels uncomfortable, but with the weight that i can hold, id have to do a gazillion reps to feel that illustrious burn we all strive to achieve..

    thoughts?? any other leg moves you guys have found that use your quads more than the hammys.. pure freeweight workout, no machines.

    I know I'm going to be shot down for this, but oh well.

    Keep on doing regular BB squats mate - they're very good for the quads whereas the hammys stay pretty much completely inactive throughout the squat. So squats will help develop quads but will not develop your hammys at all. It is a common misconception in the gym that the hamstrings are active in the squat - however this has been disproven by mri scans and many other methods.

    Cheers.

    No school like old school.

    The oldies and pros have been taking 2g per pound of bodyweight since wayyyyy back.

    It works. Current guidlines for the general public cannot be applied to athletes. Just like current weight and BMI guidlines.

    So agree with GTST on this one.

    Also the claims of kidney damage have been strongly disproved, check out PubMed.

    Fair enough that there may be no side effects (unless I spose you're having ridiculous amounts - but then again even water can kill you if you have too much... some guy died recently drinking 20L or something in one hit).

    Although those guidelines are for the athlete and heaps of recent research (stuff of pubmed and the like) hasn't found any benefit to megadosing on protein.

    I spose there could even be a placebo effect if you think that consuming more is better for you, but I don't think it's necessary to spend heaps and heaps of money on supplements, chicken breasts etc because the reality is we probably get enough from our standard diet.

    Actually, 311g of protein for someone who is 72kg is 4.3g of protein per kg.. not 5

    the formula is 2g of protein per "pound" of bodyweight. not kg

    72kg

    211gm protein

    72kg = 158.4lbs

    211g protein / 158.4lb body weight = 1.3g of protein per pound of bodyweight.

    for someone wanting more muscle, they would ideally be eating more than that.

    adding another 100g of protein would bring that number up to close to 2g of protein per pound of body weight which is more ideal.

    anyway, trial and error will probably teach you more on how you react to different diet and exercise.

    I'm very impressed that you can divide 311 by 72 and get 4.3 - you must have done quite well in grade 5 maths.

    However, if you read my post carefully you would've noticed that I said "about 5g", and I have included a definition of the word "about" for your benefit.

    "about": Imprecise but fairly close to correct.

    The current guidelines (the recommendations put together by the best dietitions, nutritionists, physiologists etc after consideration of the most current and most reliable research and statistics) state that the strength athlete should consume about (see definition above) 1.2-1.7g of protein per kg of bodyweight per day.

    What this means - Consumption upwards of this recommendation yields no apparent physiological benefits - and some detrimental effects can come of consuming excessive amounts of protein - chance of kidney disease can be increased, dehydration can occur, COST can also become a big issue. The typical Australian diet already contains plenty of protein, and many Australians exceed their protein requirements without even trying. Although as someone training for strength and size your protein needs are increased somewhat - along with your energy requirements. It is FACT, however, that as you increase your energy intake - your protein intake increases accordingly (basically in a linear relationship) simply due to the proteins contained in the everyday foods you consume.

    So basically, don't stress about drinking 78 protein shakes daily to get your 9.8142 kg of protein daily because that's what Joe Blogs said on the internet.

    To the OP - be very careful about what you read and hear on the internet, the strength and conditioning industry is full of people giving their opinions, many of which are plain wrong.

    I'm in no way claiming to be an expert or a professional, I'm just throwing up the most current guidelines.

    ok.

    in short

    with your goals being to get bigger..

    1.) 2400 calories is not enough

    2.) your PCF breakdown is all wrong. you have WAY too many carbs, nowhere near enough fats and protein should be about 100g more per day at least.

    who created that diet structure for you?

    So you're recommending he consumes over 300g of protein daily? Have you based this on reputable, scientific research?

    This is about 5g of protein per kg of bodyweight per day - which is waaay too much!!

    It's heaps more than the body can process (unless he's training at a high intensity level for like 12 hrs straight every day...)

    Carbs are the important factor in post-exercise recovery.

    Fs: Stainless Steel Ballistic Racing Cat

    in For Sale (Private Car Parts and Accessories)

    Posted · Edited by rugbymatt07

    The Ballistic Racing Catalytic Converter is a 100 cells per square inch highflow racing cat. Tests on the Sureflo Exhaust website show it flows better then "metal cats" & "magic cats", it is also made totally out of stainless steel, including the substrate, unlike cheap knockoffs. It has a 4" diameter body, with 3" in and outlet piping. The one I have for sale is brand new and completely unused.

    I'm looking for 180+postage for the cat

    PM me on here, or emails to [email protected]

    Cheers

    Here is a picture of it

    Spotted - QLD Skyline Owners

    in Queensland

    Posted

    yesterday on my way to work saw a very nice R33 with 'zoom auto imports' painted all over it. Was in the Wynnum Manly area and I was driving a green pulsar SSS, as we got onto Wynnum road I pulled into the left lane (to give him some space) and the skyline driver changed down twice and all of a sudden i heard all this noise and there was no skyline in my rear view mirror anymore, which was a bit strange so I looked straight ahead and fading into the distance were these circular lights... hehehe. It was the loudest and nicest sounding car I have ever heard on the road, and I have never heard a louder turbo or BOV either....

    This car was insane - I love it haha

    Anyone using Musashi BULK? What's it like?

    I'm looking at getting into the gym next year, I'm already pretty fit but I'm tiny so my main aim will be putting on a bit of weight and looking nice and cut.

    BULK (from what I can tell in my noob-ness) looks like a good product for me (muscle gain) but I was just after your opinions.

    Cheers

    Wtb First Car

    in Wanted to Buy

    Posted · Edited by rugbymatt07

    Hey guys I'm looking for a first car. I really want something that will be good fun to drive and will last me a good few years, preferably manual. Due to new laws I can't have a car with any supercharger, rotary engine, V8 or more, or more than 200kW. My price bracket would be up to about $7500. So if any of you guys have anything for sale, or know of somebody who has a car for sale in the Brisbane area let me know!! Thanks heaps

    Hey guys, looking for my first car! I've always loved Skylines and unfortunately I'm limited to the non-turbos only... I'd be looking at spending up to about 8k, wanting a non-turbo Skyline with reasonably low Ks in the Brisbane area. If any of you guys see or hear or have one for sale I'd love to hear about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks guys
