A little bit out from my first guess :blush: but inline with Birds estimate!!!

Hey would ya look at that :D

Think about it though, it you can drop ~7/8kg and end up with 10% bf (assuming some small muscle loss at the same time), you'll look super lean and retain ~95% of your strength for a good power to weight ratio. Not such a bad statistic to keep track of :)

Let's not forget the table that GTSBOY( I think) posted a few weeks ago, just because a supplements states it has a certain amount of protein doesnt mean squat.. Your lucky if your getting 90% of what it says it has.. I'm switching over to optimum nutrition, 1 cause it actually has most of what it says it does and 2 if tastes awesome

Btw, just like setting a track/drag car up properly, it's all the 1%ers that make the difference in the end..

Lets not forget not even 5% of the products on the market were tested :)

They didn't test BN, so you can't say it's bad/misleading. I know a lot of guys that compete, that tell me BN = way to go (from a price point)... Trust 140kg builders over a dude with a spreadsheet :)

Never said anything about BN.. Just pointing out that there is alot of rubbish out there on the market..

Changed my mind again, I'll be swapping to ISOFLEX.. A Good mate of mine recommended it.. No he's not 140kg.. He's just 137 :)

I'm taking ON protein. Called Hydrobuilder - chocolate flavour. Bit on the expensive side but I've always taken ON products.

As I've mentioned in an earlier post, strong stimulants give you the bad "coming off" effect. Long term useage means your body adapts to it then you need to increase the dosage but at the same time you start to depend on it to the point where you hit a threshold. When I use my Pre, it doesn't have any DMAA so you don't feel jacked up then just crash. Nevetheless, still require on and off periods.

Also the whole post workout insulin spike thing is true and does have good benefits but for your average joe blow then it doesn't matter. You still can yield some decent results. Someone like me who is type 1 Diab, can use any amout of insulin for it's anabolic effect providing that I ingest enough fast acting carbs when your body is most depleted. Insulin helps feed your muscle being a very powerful hormone but at the same time can make you fat.

I wish I never took a pre-workout supp, become too dependant on them now, Anyway I made some protein bars for the first time last night, they seemed set this morning but I'll check them out when I get home - better be good lol.

if you snatched 100kg like that I'd be fckn impressed... I can barely power clean and push press my own bodyweight... and its not pretty lol

I was reading an article that was talking about strength goals for athletes (not powerlifters, weightlifters or strong men etc) so have been trying for these goals

Push

Body weight bench press for 15 reps - tried over the weekend, only got 12 and last rep was a bit suspect :(

Pull

15 pull-ups - easy, can do 20

Squat

Body weight squat for 15 reps - hard work, can do 20 though

Hinge

Double body weight deadlift - did 180kg at 82kg bodyweight

Loaded Carry (Farmer Walk) 40 metres

Body weight per hand - haven't tried this one, will have to find a space but it sounds bloody difficult... would have to work up to it I imagine

Yer but I do have a pretty low BF. I also think I have a good power/weight ratio if you take into account my height. What do you weigh at the moment, Nick? Farmer walk sounds tough...I think my grip would let go on that one before the legs give out. Just carrying the 32.5's back to the racks after a set of incline dumbells is taxing on it's own.

Have stepped up behind neck mlitary press to 50kg x 10 on the 4th/5th/6th sets - another exercise that I neglected to move up in weight (45kg x 10 for the last 4-5 years). Going to shoot for 55kg x 10 soon and the end goal is to work my way up to a full set of 10 x bodyweight. Another 30kg to go, gonna be tough lol.

Sort of related: what is it called when you pick the barbell up off the ground and in one single motion sweep it up to above your head? This is the way I pick up a barbell when I am starting a military press set. I thought it was some variation of the clean/snatch, but on googling these, they all involve a squat movement at some point...I'm literally deadlifting it from the ground to above my head in one.

82-83kg... but carrying a few kilos of fat I could probably do without...l probably somewhere between 15-20%

it doesn't really have a name, I think you just invented it lol... you can do a hang snatch which is kinda what your doing... that's where you start with the bar just below your knees, bent at the waist like your half way through a DL and then you straighten and throw the bar above your head in one motion

next time you pick the bar up off the ground try and clean or snatch it... obviously start with a very light weight until you get the motion down... then you can work in two exercises into the one set... snatch the bar to above your head, lower then press it, lower it back to just below your knees, snatch it above our head again etc

We will call it the Birds clean! Looked up hang snatch and that sounds kind of similar. I actually described what I do inaccurately, before...there are actually two movements to what I do in preparation for military press. I deadlift the barbell off the ground, take a couple steps back...dip the barbell and bend knees a bit in a bit of a spring motion, then upright row / thrust it with my whole body to the top of a military press movement. Might have to video this one lol.

Sounds like a good full body exercise but I do squats on the same day and my military press is done very strictly...don't really want to incorporate other motions into it.

lol @ vid, thought meh 70kg, will be there soon enough...then the 100kg put me in my place lol.

yeah I did the same thing, then he cruised the 100kg up without any struggle... bit of a beast really!

when its cold and I don't feel like training I start with a barbell complex... rule is your not allowed to rest or put the weight down between exercises... usually something like RDL, into bent over rows, into power cleans, into overhead press, into back or front squat... pick a weight that you can do the hardest exercise with (usually OHP) and do 6 or 7 of each... 30-40kg will make you hate life... good for us guys who need to burn off a few more calories;) probably not necessary for you lean bastards lol

Yeah that sounds like a full body workout / HIIT all in one lol.

probably not necessary for you lean bastards lol

Speaking of lean bastards, it's been a while since I've gayed up the thread with a selfie...56k and homo warning!

I've been cutting up a bit lately and this is where I'm at. Trying to get in shape for fitness model comps, for which another 2-3% less fat should do the trick. Oddly enough, I weigh much the same as before the cut (it hasnt been an aggressive cut), leading me to believe that leg muscle gains are countering the fat loss (I hope so anyway).

How'm I doin fellas?

Shave your chest bruv! You have good abdominal genetics it seems, pretty much perfectly lined up splits in the muscle. Bit of a shitty angle for a pic though tbh, you should upload the standard mirror shot standing up to show proper fat % (orlackof).

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • 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.
