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.

Awesome compliment! How has it been going for you anyway? Feel free to PM :)

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.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
