Thanks birds

So I'll just keep doing what I been doing the past couple of weeks. Chicken breast and broccoli for lunch, Fruits as snacks and oats etc for breakfast.

Dinner what ever I feel like but make sure it's healthy with brown rice, brown pasta or mashed sweet potato.

And instead of running can I just keep pumping phat weight sessions because my ankle is farked from jumping off a cliff so can't run far

Don't be scared of fat though, eat a decent amount of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats (avocado for example).

If your ankle is screwed, try rowing. Rowing has to be one of the absolute best forms of full body cardio around, and it's super easy to manipulate your stroke rate etc. for a harder or easier session.

Yes. And drink a shit ton of water, nothing but water.

You can try rowing, as Tom suggested, or boxing (my personal recommendation) as a substitute for running. Boxing will have you sweating and even though you hop around a lot on your feet, it doesn't as such put a lot of pressure on your leg joints like running does. Even shadow boxing is very good cardio.

Thanks for all the info!

Birds whats this protein you are currently taking?

I havent been taking any since I started this workout plan but now its gotten more serious I am in the market for some.

From what I have read I need to find one with no carbs

Price has gone up recently and is explained on their page why, but even still in my opinion (and that of many others) the quality and taste of BN protein is well above most competitors.

So far I've personally tasted vanilla, chocolate, and banana flavours and they all taste exactly as you'd expect (nothing f**king retarded and gagworthy). Karl however (Star33) had choc-mint and didn't like the taste...but honestly I wouldn't expect an obscure flavour like that to taste great anyway :P

Just the other day I received my 5kg vanilla and 2kg powdered oats and am as always very happy with my purchase from these guys.

As Troy said, BN WPI. Committed to a 5kg bag, no regrets.

Next time your on the rower nick.. See how fast you can do a 500m sprint.. Now that's a flogging :D

Best time we have here on our record board is 1:26

Obviously varies from machine to machine and resistance settings

After a back session yesterday, I jumped on the rower to finish off. I was stuffed after 4 minutes! Well 3 really but pushed to 4!!! Definitely going to do this more often but I'll change it up and do rows after back, cycle after legs and running at other times. It will be my first real go at any cardio in 9 months of training...

Just smashed a good 2km on the rowing machine.

Then pumped some boxing and then back on the machine for another 800m

But for the 800 I did 100m slow and then 100m as fast as I could etc.

Seriously hard work that machine!

I think my average was 2.10 for 500m

GTR_JOEY: sounds painful and unpleasant! a lot of my friends were rowers in high school and watching them race each other, then collapse and throw up in the spew bucket was enough for me lol

I do see many people using the wrong technique on the rowing machines... pulling with the arms before your finished straightening the legs... like the oly lifts, the arms should be kept straight to maximise your leg power, then only use your arms right at the end to finish the pull... its a leg and lower back exercise!

legs > back > arms... then arms > back > legs

good vid, its a bit too technical for non-rowers but has some helpful tips of you skip through

Yea they're an excellent fitness tool,

We sometimes throw short sprints in our circuits and it sends the heart rate straight through tue roof..

Damn I feel it in my glutes and hamies though.. :D

hehe I don't think you realise who Markos is... Yet :D

lol, thanks. We've shifted our focus mainly to competition and away from general fitness training, so I wont get too involved in the general stuff, but if anyone is interested in competitive powerlifting, i'll gladly help.

Were currently prepairing to send a team of 17 to Slovakia in 5 weeks for the Worlds, hopefully Auatralia can win its first ever Team Medal from a WC

I have decided I'm actually going to start being a bit more serious with going to the gym. Not flaking on a session because I don't feel like it and stuff.

What do you guys reckon is a good number of times to work each muscle group per week, 1 or 2 times? Currently been going with one/ none because I'm lazy...

And Do people still use creatine mono hydrate pre and post sessions these days?

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
