You didn't suspect anything when you saw his nose for the first time?

I was immediately like WHOA WHAT A PHAG, nice coke nose...

although given his antics, don't be surprised if it's publicity stunt

So I am back after a long hiatus. Here is me with 125lbs weighted dips, 2*45lbs plates and 1*35lbs plate in my backpack. I did three dips in total. This was taken a few weeks ago and I am now dipping heavier. Only taking multi-vitamins and aspirin (for soreness). Diet consists of veggies and meat only, no carbs aside from carbonated drinks :) Heavy drinking in the weekends :( BTW what happened to the Wasteland?

They're bad carbs? I live off bread, pasta and potatoes lol.

So I am black after a long hiatus.

FYP brah.

Did not expect that...maybe your avatar subconsciously swayed me into thinking you were white.

For people that store fat easily, those are bad carbs

hey guys

have any of u ever tried German Volume Training (or 10 x 10 training)?

this is a slightly varied version but u get the idea..

http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/sports_body_training_performance/german_volume_training

or this which is apparently a more advanced version

http://www.charlespoliquin.com/ArticlesMultimedia/Articles/Article/261/A_Look_Back_and_Ahead_at_German_Volume_Training.aspx

if so, how did u guys find it? get good results?

i have done it once before a while ago and i enjoyed it.. and me and a mate are gona try it again to see if we can get some good results..

wtf...in the first link the author talks about GVT for a few paragraphs, then seems to use it as an excuse to introduce his own workout?

I believe in a lot of the theory behidn GVT. Whilst I haven't tried GVT specifically or adopted it as a program, I have on occasion completed 10 sets of the same weight before (when I've had friends work in with me and I'm waiting for them to finish their sets, or to kill time). It's amazing how by the 7th/8th set you can just keep on going without feeling fatigue like you did around the 5th/6th. Also agree with that author that it's hell on your joints over time and probably overtraining unless you're backed up by some intravenous assistance.

I was doing some reading on the Australian Institute of Sport website last night. I was always under the impression that protein was the most important thing for building muscle, but apparently not so.

Straight from the AIS:

To gain muscle mass effectively, a positive energy balance of at least 2000-4000 kilojoules per day is required. This calls for a general increase in dietary intake. However, carbohydrate is the first nutrient to focus on, since muscle must be fuelled to do the training to stimulate muscles to grow. It is also important for athletes trying to gain muscle mass to meet their increased protein needs, but huge protein intakes are not required. In most cases, a high-energy diet that provides 1.2-2g of protein per kilogram of body mass will ensure that protein needs are met. These protein intakes are easily met by consuming a varied diet that meets your energy needs. Consuming protein above this level does not have an anabolic effect. Excess protein will be oxidised as an energy source and may contribute to gains in body fat. Very high protein diets displace other important nutrients from the diet and can be a source of saturated fat. Although it is important to achieve energy needs, a high-energy diet should not be seen as an excuse for gluttony. Excess consumption of high-fat foods can lead to excessive energy intake, and a greater risk of gaining fat mass rather than muscle.

Maybe not so relevant for some guys that just think about lifting weights and put on 2kg, but its definitely given me some 'food' ( :P ) for thought.

Jay Cutler's daily intakes are around 1kg of carbs, 300g of protein...and he weighs around 130+kg lean....

Won't work for everyone though..If I ate anywhere near that amount of carbs I'd be even fatter than I already am.

<cut>

i have done it once before a while ago and i enjoyed it.. and me and a mate are gona try it again to see if we can get some good results..

I heard from the coach that it was originally developed for the off-season for lifters go move between weight classes. Its designed to gain muscle :)

Its 10*10 sets, the killer is the 60 second break between sets.

I've tried it a few times, I haven't done it for any extended period of time but it did seem to improve strength...

I was reading on T Nation an article about deadlifts... it suggested trying to do 20reps at 60% of your 1rm in 10 minutes (in sets of whatever you can handle etc)

doesn't sound too hard but I tried it last night... warmed up on 60kg, did a couple of sets at 80kg, then went to 100kg to do 20 in 10min (I've never tried a 1rm so I just guessed at the weight)... did sets of 5, 5, 3, 3, 2, 2

....... and was thoroughly farked by the end of it... had trouble with all my lifts for the rest of the session except for lifts where I was lying on my back (which I don't do much of as I prefer to stand to do most exercises)

just goes to show how important your core is to 90% of stuff you do in the gym

    • 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"
