110kg bench if your doing it properly after just 2 weeks training is impressive lol

Agreed.

When benching for work sets, if you focus on going 3/4s up ie not fully straightening arms and going basically all the way down using a 1:0:3 tempo and proper form...i cant see how you are lifting so heavy, so quick. It takes a good 6-12mths of conditioning etc for the normal person!

Plus you will see an increase in testosterone from working your leg muscles.

And thats the reason right there for doing legs.

They will actually HELP your arms/chest stuff to get bigger, faster by doing legs.

havent posted in a few days been working nights n tafe in day

but no it is 110kg bench im only talking 2reps on a good f**king day, but it is good form all the way down touching my chest, and all the way up( keeping slight bend in elbow)

the best i belive iv done is 9reps of 90kg bench

i count myself lucky being able to lift what i lift but all i ever did was eat a shit load of eggs and was always fat but strong mabye good genes or ???

after the 2weeks of tranning iv decided to scrap the shitty routine iv got as tafe is now part time so i have a few hours a day may as well try n lose the kg's

trying to go for a small version of a ken shamrock look( ufc)

also remember guys im 97kg's so as far as iv been told you should be able to bench press one rep of your own weight so im not exactly doing well by those standards

cheers for the major imput btw

You want the shamrock look, like many of the UFC fighters you may need a little more than Protein...... :)

Not to say it cant be done, however many more things were legal in US that are not legal in Oz now, heck i even remember when they banned Muscletechs Acetabolyn (sp?) so they had to make 3 different versions to comply.

I agree you should at LEAST be able to bench your own weight, even more impressive is to chest press with the free weights your own weight. More core activation etc.

Just back to my original point, it can be done.... BUT i do think people can have certain limitations bodywise depending on training time, dieticians, time available, Personal trainer and of course CASH to do it all.

Not wanting to open can of worms nor neg you out from training hard. keep at it, go hard and watch your results.

haha yea i know what you mean alot of people seem to be jucing to get past there physical limits, my dad has reached his limits 110kgbench press whether he was 99kg and now 80kg's never could crack 120 tried many many times did all the right stuff but thats where he is limited

but yea shamrock is what i want to look like lets just say im setting my goals high

but even a smaller version of him would also be cool

i have 4hours free for weight on monday, 4hours free tuesday, all day free wednesday, 3hours free thursday 2hours friday, probs non on sunday or saturday as work takes over

as you can see if i have dedication i certainly have the time to make it happen

<cut>

Plateau's like that are most likely how he is training himself. I was stuck around 90kg or so until I found a good program, I now bench upto 117.5, I think I got a 120kg bench once :D. I'm 80kg now.

never going to lift anything past my shoulders as i know it f**ks them up hardcore

have no real need for those three things. unless i was trying to sculpter my body like a body builder other wise im just getting bigger for boxing

<cut>

Your boxing? Then you should be squatting.

What benefit do the bicep curls provide to your boxing?

Military pressing or push pressing for shoulder strength doesn't mess up your shoulders if your using correct form.

UFC look is awesome, even the lighter weight category like Sean Sherk. Hes 5'6" and 70kg, nice muscular but also ripped body and is a machine!

There is talk of him smashing the roids but i dunno...

I'm asian, naturally a stick, I now weigh 87kg, plenty of manboobs, very faint abs, and I'm 183cm ~ 6'0" tall

Bench 90kg, around 8 reps, can do 100kg around 2~4reps (unassisted)

Squat 100kg, around 7 reps,

Leg press 275kg 8 reps

Military Press 50kg 8 reps

Plus I do all the other stuff like curls, pull down, pec dec, ra ra ra ra..

I want to get stronger, but it's not possible. I want to be bigger big I ain't growing.

well with that diet, is that good?

I've only been training for 2.5 years, being asian I have a crappy frame & genetics...

I've started throwing in 15mins of cross trainer after each workout

That diet is pretty shocking.

Not enough protein. toast and peanut butter for breakfast, seriously?

Add more eggs, tuna, chicken, steak.

Oats for carbs would be good too.

isn't the protein shake enough?

it's hard, I'm too busy to smash down more food and also you're forgetting I'm asian... more food more fat lol

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
