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

Bulk Nutrients WPI

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?

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
