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

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.

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?

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
