I had an interesting discussion about cheat meals recently.

Many people see them as an out for people who simply cannot strictly diet.

This isn't true, in fact, cheat meals serve a key purpose (or a dual purpose):

1: They trick your body into thinking that it is getting ample nutrients/calories, therefore, your body is less likely to go into starvation mode and do its absolute best to hold onto fat stores.

2: They keep you sane/more likely to stick to your diet and can be motivating. I especially look forward to my cheat meals whilst cutting.

Cheat meals are the safer option when compared to 'cheat days', you risk binging too hard on a cheat day lol. But if you can keep it within reason and it works, why not?

good news... I was undecided on going to dinner tonight as I know it will be a massive eat fest... and a few beers will get consumed no doubt

Budapest in Elsternwick... great Hungarian food but massive portions and when its in front of me I just keep eating lol... so I'm trying to eat very light today in preparation

been making good progress lately, slowly cutting back for summer... I've tried last minute cuts before and its always been a failure... I don't function very well when I haven't had enough to eat, I get grumpy and have crap workouts so still trying to find the best balance

lol at Jay Cutler... he really is a freak... I read that in the first year he took up BB'ing he put on about 20kg of muscle! (can't remember exact number but it was ridiculous)

If you can carry you shopping your not buying enough food. If you cannot carry your shopping your not lifting enough. And go.

Ye it has good effect on metabolism and serves to give the body a bit of a kick.

Plus one huge gorge/cheat meal isn't really going to alter the weeks diet much at all.

I'll ask the dude @ work if i can chuck up some of his pics - strict as 40yo with diet etc. He gives himself 1hr per week to "go nuts" and eat anything and everything (like 1 large pizza, 3 icecream cones and maybe 2-3 cans of coke) except when prepping for a comp. Says it hasnt affected him at all and is a good 'break'.

I got a SKINS top and it does a good job of keeping the chill out when running cold winter nights...without restricting breathing. Beats ye olde topless running and hypothermia.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
