with the amount of cardio your doing if your not getting enough protein your going to be catabolic all the time... meaning all those resistance exercises are a waste because your not building any muscle... make sure your getting enough protein from whole foods and supps

your doing too many different exercises (as Birds has stated) simplify and look at making consistent progress in weight and reps

your doing a huge amount in the gym on a weekly basis... too much... I would ditch the cardio machines... they're a waste of time

ditch those scales, they're garbage

you do too much direct ab work and not enough posterior chain work... crunches don't give you abs, they just shorten your hip flexors and give you back pain

the basis of an athletic physique is a strong butt and back

girls typically can't handle as much upper body frequency or intensity as guys but they can handle as much if not more lower body volume

if I were you I'd squat twice a week at least... a heavy day, low reps and a light day, high reps... mixed in with the lunges and a few other lower body movements your already doing... a challenging high rep squat/lower body workout will burn more calories than any abcoreblaster class

if you want to circuit train, kettlebells, medicine balls, sprints and jumps are as good as it gets

I'd only deadlift once every week or even two weeks... it should be hard and heavy enough that your pretty much fried afterwards

you don't need to run on your off day... foam rolling, stretching and mobility work is better

just my 2c... train like an athlete, get stronger, faster and have more stamina... and as a bonus you might end up looking like one... seen some of the Olympic track and field girls!

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

Lol i'm sorry but I can't watch a Kai Greene vid after the whole grapefruit thing. The guy is an odd fella.

Wendlers 5/3/1 program looks alright, pretty common sense based, and it's something I might look at doing down the track. No way am I going from starting strength to that though lol... Same lifts for low reps would drive me insane of boredom.

There's quite a few different variations of the workouts.

I like to be in the gym as little as possible though so I enjoy it. ~3hrs a week and still gain.

Just got back from the gym, squatted 150 x 5 on my 5th set...been a while since the last time I pushed that weight but feels like I've got more in me.

strong Dezz!... nothing like the feeling of pushing heavy weight... I sleep better, have a better appetite and the effects it has on your libido is also nice hehe

they are simple carbs and if you look on the label it will tell you how much of those carbs are sugar

Cool thanks, knew about reading sugar amounts, was just wondering if the sugar carbs compared to the rest of the carbs was perhaps different. For example if sugar carbs are simple and the rest are complex.

Simple or complex what does it matter.

It matters because simple carbs are best to restore glycogen levels which I'm working on to prevent insomnia. This is why I'm wondering which kind of carbs are in protein shakes so that I know if I need to eat additional simple carbs to fulfill my requirements.

Weigh the whole chicken before you eat it, then put the remnants back on the scales and subtract from the original weight.

lol too late, already demolished half the chicken (thigh, wing, breast. Meat, fat and skin), along with 4 slices of tasty cheese.

My insides churn.

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
