It's not necessarily cutting out...I don't agree with cutting anything out, or "diets" so to speak. It's just increasing intake of certain foods :)

Balanced is definitely a good thing.

mate, you should try crossfit.com

I'm hooked.

some of the stuff is fcking insane though. Love it!!

IF YOU'VE GOT A DOOR YOU'VE GOT A GYM !

But seriously, seeing pretty good gains using the Birdman workout !

Just eating steak now and only running 5 days a week, my biceps are gunna be redikulus for da ladies LOL.

You're still doing it? Nice! Stay in there. Meant to ask you how that was going for you :)

I added woodchops to the routine for a good oblique/core exercise...if you can find space throw them in on day 1 :)

lol... if you want to add muscle get lots of protein and BCAAs... carbs don't grow muscle proteins do... carbs feed the muscle with energy... you don't need to carb load... the only time you should be eating simple carbs is before during and after an intense workout... otherwise you should be eating complex carbs in whole foods (veggies, salad etc)

Hanaldo mate salad is carbs... Milk and nuts aren't carbs so to speak... nuts are fat, but good fat so eat lots of them... Milk is high in protein so also good for bulking... but it all depends on your body type

have a protein shake before bed is good as it keeps your metabolism running while your asleep... no need to have a high carb shake tho... even just a glass of milk is good, chuck some milo in it if you want

you want to add quality bulk... not a bunch of fat... you might be able to get away with eating heaps of simple carbs (starchy food like pasta, potatoes etc) if your an ectomorph (hard gainer) or your working out very intensely and frequently

This

I am indeed an ectomorph. I once weighed 63-64kg at the same height (6'3").

I agree that beginners should build up a solid base before they turn towards advanced techniques designed to break through a plateau.

I had plateaued on the scales...I wanted to be heavier because I always felt like a lightweight, so I took the shortcut of bulking instead of trying to build lean muscle and slowly gaining weight that way. I gained muscle from doing it, but I also copped some fat due to the extra food and the cessation of my cardio. It goes hand in hand with that style of bulking.

In retrospect it wasn't the best idea, particularly when my pants became a bit tight (this is worrying). But now that I've cut down the food and am back onto cardio, I've trimmed most (if not all) of the extra fat off. The results are pretty good and I don't regret it. People have told me that I look bigger than before the bulk (hard to trust gym junkies, sometimes they just talk shit), and yet I've got most (if not all) of my old tone back now. Life is good!

how heavy are you now? i is jealous... I haven't been 64kg since high school... even at my fittest in my early 20's I was 70kg... and I'm 5'10" in shoes lol

i feel guilty when I eat a potato... its hard not drinking as well... i love beer too much :cheers:

my old man just did another PT seminar... which sucks because he comes back with all new weird and painful shit to make me do

Yeah all my mates in Defence are into it in a big way, they tell me its the more gruelling/punishing thing they've done and are much stronger because of it. But not neccesarily bigger - more core/base than anything else.

These guys do stuff like illegal boat boarding parties etc etc so they live in the gym anyway but say it's better.

Once i get some base fitness going i'll be getting into it too i reckon :)

84/85 at the moment. I got to 88/89 when I was bulking up, starting at about 80. Loved being a heavier kunt, but I did not like the jeans being tight or the slight roll of fat on my stomach! My friend is 70kg at about your height and he is a very fast runner...I'm jealous of his speed...makes me want to lose more weight to get quicker running times, but I love the gym / muscle too much. On the flip side, I now love running too much to want to get bigger at the gym. Gotta strike a balance between it :)

What do you weigh at the moment?

Oh, nice! This section should get some decent attention straight off the bat!

I'm considering buying some near-new K2 inline skates (roller blades, yo) from the dude sitting next to me here at work. Barely ever used them, and I used to LOVE blading. I can certainly remember how good of a workout it is, that's for sure!

In other news, I'm sitting around 87.5/88kg at the moment...Thought I'd drop now that I'm playing footy again, but managing to maintain around that weight. Carrying a little bit of fat, but nothing I can't lose in a month or so when I decide to clean up the eating..

K2 Moto? I have Extremes...they were pricey but very good. Wheels are HUGE.

approx 87kg... could do to lose 5kg of fat though... you love running!? I don't mind sprinting but running is boring as hell

yeah when I was 70kg I was super quick... played pretty serious basketball as a a point guard... our team went on a trip to San Fran to play a tournament and I was the only guy on our team quick enough to guard the black guys... the cliche of african americans being 'explosive and athletic' is 100% true

we do a crossfit kinda workout on sat mornings (weights, sprints, kettlebells, medicine balls etc etc)... its much harder than a straight up weight training session... TBH I kinda hate it but do it anyway

Dezz who you play for?

Dare say he means they board illegal boats entering our waters in order to detain the people on them..

You always understand me :wub:

But ye, thats what i mean. Intercepting illegal fishing boats, drug runners, "refugees" etc.

Gotta be in pretty good condition for that kinda shit, gets pretty full on im told.

That's pretty solid for your height!

Yer I love it. The endorphins going through your head when you get back from a full pelt run are better than any drugs lol. Always trying to beat my last time, so I guess I don't find it boring because I'm always concentrating on breathing and trying to squeeze out every last bit of energy to get a better time.

No idea on the model sorry, I'll chuck up pics tomorrow when he brings them in to show me/I buy them if they fit.

Oh I geddit now! lol. Cousin used to do that in the Navy, reckons it was a blast! Though yes it does get full on from what he was telling me, gotta be ready to jump on the boat with your gear and assert yourself for an extended period of time.

yeah that's the key, having a measure so you can always push to get faster, make a game out of it

I'm not built for jogging... sprinting yes... long distance... ahhh no... maybe if I lost about 10kg!

yeah fairly solid... I never fit into shirts unless they're custom made, my neck is a full size bigger than the rest of me so I can never get the button done up lol... and I have relatively short arms... my bro in law who trains with me calls me T Rex... he reckons that's why I can lift more cos I don't have to move it as far lol

nice Dezz, haven't heard of them but that doesn't mean much... heaps of respect for footy players and the fitness/toughness you need

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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"
