id get an adjustable bench so you can do incline and or decline.

dips are a good idea as well. would also be interested to see their pulley system as it could be worth a look at.

quality and price i dont know about.

I would be inclined not to listen to what the side of a protein container says about serving sizes...

of course they are goin to say "take 3 scoops" 3 times a day. They are trying to sell the crap.

figure out how much protein u need a day, usually 1 gram for every pound of body weight (kg x2.2) then use the protein to fill in the gaps between meals, thats why its a "supplement"

Theres no use having a 100 grams of protein in one hit, it needs to spread out through the day

Good point. As with any information you have to consider the source!

I've found 2 scoops of Torrent is enough for me, not the 3 prescribed, especially as I often take Vitargo during the session, so that'd be way too many carbs when taken together.

god damned OS trips... just got back from Thailand for a friends wedding... 10 days spent drinking and eating nonstop and I feel like garbage... fat garbage... just a note, flopping around in a pool/ocean cannot possibly burn off 8 litres of booze and enough Pad Thai to feed every starving child in Africa...

f**k you Ectos...;)

grass is always greener hey... hate having to eat like a medieval orphan but at the same time like it when people stop what they're doing to watch you lift

goal for this year is to have both... look and feel lean while lifting enough iron to affect the earths gravitational pull... after 6 weeks of good work I've fallen off the tracks... weaksauce... time to put down the beer and open a can of harden the f**k up

because your body digests x amount of protein per hour regardless of how much you give it.

So you prefer to load a ton of protein in one meal, and piss out 80% of it instead?? It's not hard to space your protein out over the course of the day.

Why wouldn't you take a slow release protein source before bed? Your catabolic period overnight must be quite significant closedeyes.gif

...I see no logic here

Yea i have no idea what his argument is

anyone here tried doing slow reps? get the set to last near 70seconds. I have been giving it a go and cannot lift near the same amount of weight.

example is for bench 3seconds down, at at the bottom and 1 second up.

recommend giving it a go for a change.

I find slow reps or negatives are both good if you've got a minor injury or are feeling flat and can't push a heavier weight; you can still get an awesome workout while also changing it up a bit and keep the body guessing.

On the protein argument I've also read that those of us who take a lot of additional protein need to make sure we are getting plenty of calcium intake (i.e. through milk, or other sources, in other words check your protein supplement to make sure there is calcium in there as well). This is because the body uses calcium for protein synthesis. You don't want a calcium deficiency.

I never said I loaded up on protein... no shit it isn't hard to space it out over the day, I just said you didn't have to. You don't piss out protein...

Why wouldn't I take "slow release" protein before bed? I dunno maybe the fact that by the time I goto fkn bed I've already hit my protein macros for the day so there's a shitload that will be released over the night.

Dude I suggest you do some research before posting...

"When a high dietary protein intake is consumed, there is an increase in urea excretion, which suggests that amino acid oxidation is increased.."

It depends on the types of protein you're consuming, unless you've been consuming a lot of slow-release proteins throughout the day, your overnight release won't last nearly as long as consuming something like casein before bed (4-6 hours release).

In response to slow reps, I always lower the weight slowly, and explode on the way up. Muscle fibres tear on the eccentric phase (shortening phase), so for example lowering the weight during a bicep curl is more important than raising it.

While on this topic, has anyone here gotten a friend to push down (encourage the negative phase of the lift) on a bar, etc. while you try to resist? It's like super negatives lol, crazy hypertrophy results

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
