haha no pressure. I actually have a friend who just did his first cycle, has a week left and put on about 8kgs. We think he will drop bit of that weight cause he said he put most of it on in a week or two.. was interested in how much Vspec managed to keep.

I cant really risk roids due to having a heart condition called ARVD especially if all I was hoping to gain and manage to keep is like 4-5kg, which is a good gain i realise but the risk to the reward not really there.

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

Too many downsides to the roids that I could afford haha!

Doing it natural will be far more satisfying in the long term imo

On another note, I did the seated behind the neck press for the first time today. I liked it, managed to push out 5 sets of 8 (only made 7 on the last set) on what I think was 60kg. I think I'll alternate between it and dumbell shoulder press from now on!

Military = standing press, whether behind neck or not, to my knowledge. It's also traditionally done with a barbell. If you're doing it standing, make sure your knees are slightly bent to preserve your back and put one foot forward.

I never do it behind the neck, I have been told by a few trainer it's actually bad for you

Yeah...f**k that. They say the same about lat pulldown. It might be riskier for injury, but I have been doing both exercises behind neck for many years with no adverse results. You do need to have a good technique and build up flexibility to pull off a decent range of motion (i.e. touching neck), though.

I like behind neck because it isolates the delts and you can't really "cheat" by involving your chest.

Good advise Birds, I'll keep that in mind.

What are you guys doing in terms of barbell military press? I'm finishing up on 55kg barbell.

(mind you I'm Asian, 6 ft, 86kg, can't get any stronger.. been plateauing for ages)

Military behind neck and touching it, 40kg x 10 on the first three sets, 50kg x 10 on the last three. 79kg 6'3

What sort of body fat do you estimate Johnny?

I am not too sure to be honest, never really looked into that. I am bigger than all my asian mates, and on a good day can bench 110kg with some spotting.

I find that I can't get any stronger, and if I start eating a tad less I shrink. I'm a tad flabby, like not defined.

Probably 20% body fat?

Oh, so Birds is a guy, cheers Mitch

Sorry about that Birds, odd username

All good brother, had the nickname since I was young and my avatar doesn't help :)

That being said, I know a girl who is about 6'5 and her boyfriend is nearly 7' lol.

I think if you doing any form of resistance training you're going to get gains from it in the long term. But tailoring that program to suit your goal is what will yield the improvements you are most keen to see.

That has been one of the smartest posts i've seen on here.

Crossfit works, cardio works, powerlifting works, weightlifting works, bodybuilding works...it all works. Just depends what YOU need from it.

Does frequent masturbation work?

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
