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

especially as I've seen programs that get very specific, 77% 83% or whatever

What the hell kind of programs would tell you to work at 77% or 83% of your 1RM.. this is a great example of powerlifting/bodybuilding bro-science at it's finest. Your body isn't going to adapt to an exact percentage. You might as well work off of 80% because that extra 3% either way won't make a noticeable difference in strength or size gains.

For me, crafting the body into something most desirable for the opposite sex, is where it's at ;)

hahaha I guess I'm different due to being married... but for me it's about being allowed to keep my man card... I'm a graphic designer which apparently means I have to weigh 60kg, wear thick rimmed glasses, girls jeans and be into bicycles... fck that, after spending all day discussing the differences between 2 almost identical fonts and drinking macchiatos I like to go to the gym and do badass shit... I'm no PL but I like to lift heavy... nothing better than chucking serious weight on an Oly bar, sitting it on the ground then lifting it above your head

I was doing dips yesterday with a couple of the 24kg kettlebells hanging off a belt looking like a couple of giant black balls swinging between my legs... I felt pretty baws for a few minutes lol

its funny when I meet someone for the first time they pretty much always assume I'm a tradie.... until I show them my girly hands lol

On lean gains he reckons for an intermediate lifter

1.6 x bw - squat

1.2 x bw - bench

2 x bw - deadlift

This is a good starting point, a minimum if your serious

just gotta sort out my squats :S... stupid weak legs

i like to read the Scivation Books stuff. Currently working on their Tri Phase routine (slightly modified but I will more then likely go back to the original).

They have books on just about everything that is training.

I like to read this site called

www.itsnotrocketscience.com

Listen to your body, train what works best for you

This lol. Too many people looking for the easiest/fastest way to gain the most amount of muscle in as little time as possible, which kind of works contrary to what is actually required at the gym - a f**kload of effort to get what you want.

its not so much looking for the fastest way to achieve results, well not for me anyway. I learnt years ago there is no fast way.

I read this stuff because I find it remotely interesting. I also dont think that I am perfect so I like to see and hear other people's opinion on a range of subjects. There are always better ways of doing things, its just a matter of hearing them out and deciding if you agree or not.

My 2cents.

Without artificial assistance you mean Mitch? Seem to see a whole bunch of huge teenage blokes in the gyms these days, partly they're starting at an age where their T is at a peak, but mostly a whole lot of them would be on the gear.

Interesting article in the SMH not long ago; not really 'news' , but interesting nonetheless - the 'steroid vacation' to Thailand: http://www.smh.com.a...0526-1zblt.html

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?

      I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk

      Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
