Have you tried more explosive exercises like jump squats, squat presses/snatches etc?

yerrr... i do that stuff during the summer months when its nice to be outside.. and capoeira aswell.. so lots and lots of lunges and jumps... lots more plyometrics and lots less weights.

  • 4 weeks later...

Ok finally back into the gym again now (3 weeks running).

Fk im weak :D

EG: Bi curls I'm only managing 10KG 3 sets x 10 :)

I can't even do 2 dips lol

Gonna be a long 3 months to get back into even basic level of form.

At least I still have reasonable chest strength, although it's only machine at the moment till i get some reasonable base and then move back over to free.

Gday kunce,

My missus said to me the other day that she wants that buff bodied man that she had before marriage back. Seeing as we've been married for 10 years there pretty much no fucking chance Ill be able to find this dood so it looks like its up to me. I dont need to lose much weight nor put too much bulk on (cause im sxc as it is). I am planning on buying a home gym (weider is on sale atm), a rowing machine and a trainer for my pushie. Ill grab a straight bar and some dumbells too.

So,

I need advice on said home gym

Advice on a routine to suit

Thanks in advance bum monkeys.

Soon you'll be benching the 31 for a warmup.

lol RB26's, one arm each :ermm:

It's weird my BI's have lost massive strength, yet my Tri's (pushdowns) im almost doing the entire stack... However much that weighs.

Yet can't do dips as everything else is failing :ninja:

Same for legs, still good strength there interestingly

Yeah I know the feeling, and I only did 3 weeks away from the gym :ermm:

You should buy 2 build RB26's, remove sump, hand through bottom of block, and hold that crank like a dumbbell.

I've never been any good with the biceps :D even after the 3 weeks though I can still do 3x10 reps of dips with +15kg :ninja:

<cut>

So what are your goals?

It sounds like you want to get a little fitter, and maybe lose some weight. Gaining muscle / losing weight is mostly diet.

Routine wise they're are a lot of things you could do, if your aiming for strength I'd recommend bench, deadlift, squat, military press , dips or similar.

Powerclean's are also great but they are a little technical, you also either need bumper plates or quiet a few mats on the floor to take the impact of the cheaper plates.

That's because you don't really use your biceps that much :ermm:

I found that legs maintain ok, shoulder / upper back strength you tend to lose quite quickly as well :D

use the assisted dip machine.

you're probably not isolating the triceps when you do the dips.

Anyone able to help me source the following in pill forms?

Ephedrine HCL

Caffeine (No DOZ id assume)

Potent Yohimbe

Am basically looking to make my own pre workout/thermo stack seen as hydroxy etc are a joke these days since the magical ingredient was banned. Thought id check with the pros before i went into a chemist or health store asking for these products and they look at me as if im trying to cook some gear lol.

Lol bananas,

so far ive found horny goat weed should substitute for Yohimbe cos it basically just boosts testosterone and energy. Ephedrine not sure as yet, but this is all legal as they can be found in Nutrex Lipo 6 which is on sale on shelves. I just dont want to cough up $70 per month for the stuff.

Just a standard ECY stack really, not a lot wrong with it.

Not really 'cooked' as such, plenty of information on the net for amounts to use etc.

use the assisted dip machine.

You mean the tri-PD's? I have my shoulders locked and use abs to support me :)

I make sure i use nothing more than isolated tri's for those.

I'll give the dips a crack next week as i upped all the chest/tri & shoulder weights this week and am rather tender today.

Two more sessions @ this rate and i'll have a crack @ 5 unassisted dips on Monday :P

No I mean the dips.

you're prolly using your chest too much and your lower pecs are not strong enough.

If you can almost push down a whole commercial tricep pushdown weight stack then dips should be easy enough.

Been looking for Ephedrine for a while as well as Yohimbe, illegal & super hard to get a hold off

Caffeine is simple.. Most supp stores stock it.. ASN for example.. or you can order of BB.com ... I ordered 4x 100pill (200mg) bottles About $8aus each.. Great stuff to stack against your pre wo supps.. :P

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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?
