All too much pseudo-scientific mumbo jumbo in this thread. Find something you enjoy that keeps you active and do it as much as you can. Eat healthy and enjoy the occasional sin. I once had eight months training so hard I forgot about alcohol and was too knackered to think about sex, and all I got was a national open silver medal in cycling. Wasn't worth it I tell yas. Well it was but it wasn't. National coach Charlie Walsh didn't want someone my age (26) on the national touring squad so i had to pay my own way to race OS. Blew it off and did Eng degree instead.

Been so up and down the weight ladder. Grunt Sniper carrying 65kg combat load for up to 9 months a year in the scrub I ate everything in sight and smashed weights until I was 110kg of pure Rugby prop love muscle able to run 5km in 19min. Then cycling I got down to 83kg of lean mean peddlin' machine able to sprint to over 80kmh and run 5km in 16min. Yesterday I almost walked 2km without stopping but needed a break from the pain for a couple of minutes. Took me 45 min and felt like I'd never get home. Stay healthy and well for the right reasons, so you can enjoy stuff or achieve real goals. Live you life training so you can train harder and you may just miss out on good bits.

Healthy drinking would be for every beer have a nice single malt scotch like the Glenmorangie with a glass of water as well. Damn you can put a lot away like that without pain in the morning. I sometimes add a glass of red wine too but just for the meal.

From what I hear of Pete's drinking pace he needs a camelback for the water supply...... and maybe one for the scotch too.

Wow.. go Fatz.. awsome how youre sticking too it!

im failing slowly... putting weight on again

started eating more even after work... stopped goin for runs for 2 weeeks now. Its been too cold and that was my excuse. WEIGHT has NO EXCUSES! gonna start it up again.

doing well fatz. keep it up.

it was brought up that doing cardio after a weight training session would send the body into anabolic shock. this is and isn’t true if you have take in correct pre work out nutrition you will have adequate energy store to complete 15-20 mins of cardio training after weights.

my sister eats junk when she finds shes not losing weight as much as she was. apparently it gives your metabolism a buzz or something and gets it working a bit faster, im not sure of the details... im a crappy listener.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
