^^ Yep delts and bi's are looking good man!

I went to Sydney for a week and diet went straight out the window! Trying to put it together, hopefully can get everything on track tomorrow.

I CAN'T STAND IT WHEN I AM NOT IN A GOOD RHYTHM!

LOL that's why I hate going on holidays, unless I can find a gym nearby. Same deal with getting sick.

This. I've been thinking of going on holiday for a while but don't want to miss the gym and not eat right. I thought it was bad that I was so worried about it. Good to see I'm not the only one lol

argh im so out of whack with training.. this is meant to be my weight gain season... but with house reno's and car build ups, and working after work and extra before work, im too farked to even pick up a weight...

its good that im doing physical activity, but its not lifting... although carrying bricks and swinging sledgehammers is a great for the shoulders and traps.

bump

my 12-13 month work in progress

edit: anyone recommend any pre-workout supps?

I think those NO type products are a crock of shiezer personally. Slam down a nice protein shake (one with carbs) about 1hr or so before you lift, then some creatine monohydrate about 15mins before entering the gym as i find it gives me that extra oomph to squeeze out those few more reps etc. Failing that, could take the cheaters approach and go see your doc and get a "subscription"

ive sorted out my "no time to workout at home" problem...

ill workout at work!!

im in my office doing lunges, squats, one handed snatches, deadlifts, shoulder press, shrugs and bent over rows with water cooler jugs... its bloody brilliant... dunno why i never thought of it before..

It's amazing where you can workout and with what lol. I always had this weird fantasy of being stuck on a deserted island (as long as I had food and water) and all I could do with the time spent there (besides trying to get rescued) was become some fit as f*** bastard from lifting rocks and shit.

Yer.

Still, nothing beats that first couple of sessions back after a break - the feeling of "I'M BACK!" when you feel like you never looked so big lol.

Ohh man that feeling is sick! But your in for a sore couple of weeks on your return lol + you don't lift as much which sometimes gets you annoyed and you lose concetration lmao but if i feel the burn i am happy! :bunny:

LOL!!! Man I wanna know where you work just so I can walk past your office and see your shirt with dark patches :happy: Or seeing a water jug getting lifted up high from over the desk hahaha

hahaha... dark blue shirt FTW!!.. and im sorta the only one at my office.. so i got free reign of the place...

and birds.... f#$k the deserted island... i wanna go on a massive cruise ship... 6 weeks... eat, train, eat, rest, eat, train, eat, rest.. look at mad scenery, eat... repeat..

Cruise ship sounds plausible. Gotta say I'd laugh if I saw someone in office clothes deadlifting a water bottle for a clean set of 50 :D

Nice collection of info here boys

Got a bit of a predicament for you guys to mull over; training mate of mine has done his wrist (old injury recurring). Hasn't managed to be able to put pressure / significant weight on it for more than a month now. Getting x-rays and stuff, but can anyone suggest some exercises for circumventing the wrist and still getting a good workout, back and chest. For example I think the pec deck is one possible solution for the chest. Any other ideas?

What about figure 8 lifting straps? I've never used them but I believe they take a lot of the load off your wrists and forearms.

Yep straps are good...

Hard to suggest suitable exercises without knowing what motions put strain on the wrist. During which exercises does he feel the most pain?

When the wrist is bending or when it is static? With vertical weight on the joint, e.g. shoulder press, or horizontal weight, e.g. bicep curl?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
