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.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      By uchoa · Posted

      Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?

      Hello! I had a mid life crisis on a budget and coincided with the R34s being legal in the USA. And now I am here, with it having old car problems and me slowly hoarding parts to start building it to what I envision. Essentially I made a mistake, that lead me to join this forum filled with legends.
