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

Woah, I thought my diet was a pain in the ass to upkeep.

Girls I don't plan on kissing again ;)

Birds, you sir are the initial reason I stepped up my game.

You continue to provide solid motivation to this day. I commend you my fellow man.

alright you lot...

what's your best time at 300m Rower??

Are we using the same rowing machine guys? I swear to god I could smash 300m in under 3 minutes, but I never use the rower so there's a VERY good chance I'm misleading myself.

Markos, it would depend on his level of activity and conditioning obviously (not to mention body type and figures), so how much would you recommend then?

While 210g may be too much for him, it doesn't mean it would apply to all of your lifters.

For example I'm 87kg, lifting 5 times per week. If I consume 210g that's 2.4gr/kg/bw which is a pretty damn solid intake and my body sure wouldn't effectively use more unless I started training twice a day.

hrms.. I consume nearly that much program a day too, but told that's not enough

Cosa - have you tried it or just passing on what you've heard?

I started on 5/3/1in march and love it, after 5 months from no weight training of any serious nature,

Learning squat, military and dead lifts from scratch using ripptoes techniques, and lost 10kg weight, factor in adding muscle mass, that's a fair bit of fat.

BP 1.69

DL 2.46

MP 1.05

SQ 1.97

I'd recommend 5/3/1 to anyone that wants to progress easily. I was stuck at 1.08 on bench before starting also.

Is that a 1rm?

Yes. Tried for 120, but could only get it half way back up...stayed there for 10 seconds before I called the spotter haha. I'm very non-linear on bench - in the same session I could push out 2 x 110 or 7-8 x 100. I just get to a weight where the muscles say "that's enough" and you can't cheat your way into another rep on bench...or conjure more strength from other muscles...

That would of been a long 10seconds!

Have you considered reverse pyramid style training?

That's funny cause I wasn't sure how to write it :P

It's a "nope I haven't considered that type of training", but feel free to suggest, elaborate and enlighten.

hahaha no worries mate it's the truth :)

In preparation for an 11 night pacific islands cruise I've got Tuesday week, I cleaned the shit out of my diet and have cut back a bit. Dropped a little over 2kg now sitting on 75.5kg. I've done a 140kg deadlift for 1 rep just to see if I still had it in me, and it was f**king easy days! Sure I could pump 2x bodyweight no worries, but no point just now. Otherwise I'm still gaining strength while dropping fat, which according to Markos doesn't make sense :P very slow gains though, very slow. Getting pretty cut, so happy at the moment. I'll provide a proper update with pics in my thread next weekend ;)

basically you warm up to 60-80% of your top set,

Have a 3-5min rest, whatever suits,

Then punch out your top set using all your energy, recover.

Reduce weight 10-15%, do two more reps than last set. Rest

Reduce weight 10-15%, do two more reps than last set.

allows you to get your max out whilst in a deficit.

I've done this, overlaying 5/3/1. Works a treat for me.

      Is there a good place to learn how an engine works online?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Do a degree in mechanical engineering specializing in combustion systems and materials. Learn how to actually wrench on things that don't require 70k+ USD buy-in while you're at it. You also want to learn to weld and machine. If you still want to do this then you'll nominally have the knowledge to actually do what you're thinking of doing. Whether you still want to do any of that once you've actually gone through that process is anybody's guess. Personally I cannot imagine anything more frustrating than trying to package a supercharger under the hood of any of these cars when the turbos are already fighting for every last inch.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's a function of the fuel pressure reg, not the pump. The pump can do more, needs to be able to do more. The reg keeps the pressure in the rail constant above whatever the manifold pressure is.

      You need enough post count to have PMs enabled. It will come. They are not the same. The NA box is the skinny little box and the turbo box is the big heavy one, and the yokes are not interchangeable.

      Rebuild Original Nismo Struts (R32 GTR)

      So, you're not talking about rebuilding the dampers, just putting new tops on them? You just need new tops and a spanner.

      Rebuild Original Nismo Struts (R32 GTR)

      By T0m · Posted

      Hi All, Does anyone know how or who (shop) could rebuild my original R32 GTR Nismo struts? These are the OG logo ones that were a factory option back in the day. I've replaced them with aftermarket coilovers which are good, but the OG Nizmo struts tha i bought the car with i feel are amazing, just the rubber tops are worn and would need replacing... Plus it would make it 100 time easier for me to get the GTR fully engineered without adjustable coilovers... I was considering selling the OG suspension, but if i can get them rebuild / refurbished, I would seariously put them back on. Cheers, Tom   p.s. I'm in Sydney by the way and don't mind travelling if need be to get these puppies rebuilt.
