Sounds good Birds. Hope it all goes well for you mate. An old PT mate of mine stuffed a tendon in his wrist (forget the exact injury but basically sheared off the bone I believe) but it was depressing the number of exercises that ruled out. He found ways to use wraps or particular machines to work around it as much as possible until it healed up completely

With legs being such a big muscle group too I think it should help burn the calories up

I've always had decent upper legs, they would be my best body part. Have never had to do too much to them to maintain volume and they respond well for me. Whereas back , shoulders etc I seem to need to work continually to maintain any size. I'm going to focus on the calves a lot more and hope for some sort of development there. apparently for some people it doesn't seem to matter what you do they just wont respond.

I'd near say thats me, starting with match sticks certainly doesn't help though.

on the contrary, don't have to work back, shoulders, chest as much for results.

finally got round to watching Bigger, Stronger, Faster the doco, not sure what the point of it was, didnt seem to have much of a conclusion either for or against steroids.

made out that all supplements are crap and a waste of money but steroids may not be as harmful as we are lead to believe.

might have missed something but yeah, thats what i took from it.

this is what good documentaries are supposed to do... present both sides of the argument and let you make an informed decision... this is what journalism was like before people lost the ability to think for themselves and only respond to sensationalism

tell me what to think so I don't have to use my brain! aaaargh

I'm surprised he could bring it up to his mouth...guy looks like he'd need someone to feed him.

Damn legs are killing me after that legs workout, but it feels great! Shows me how neglected some groups are and that isolation movements do have their place in the gym.

Good to hear from a less Angry Birds...

Nutrition question.

If I'm looking at say Yoghurt (though question applies to anything) am I better off with the tub that has less saturated fats or less sugar per hundred grams given roughly equal protein and normal fat amounts.

Just using Yoghurt as the example but I'm trying to make better choices with my foods, especially snacks, and get caught wondering if I should be aiming for less sugars or less fats in general.

It seems you either get one or the other.

I realise it's going to be dietary specific, so I'm just talking as a general guideline.

go grab a tub of natural Greek yoghurt... it's pretty bitter so I sweeten mine with honey

don't buy diet yoghurt... they just take out the fat and replace it with sugar

fat is good... sugar is bad... mmmkay

I was on the right track then as I've been choosing the lower sugar options.

I get the Jalna yoghurt, set in pot and far less additives.

It's fine without honey, but I do throw in some almonds.

Yeah, same, his biceps are too big to bend arm at elbow

What types of post workout meals do you guys have?

Universal Torrent straight after evening workout, is higher in carbs than protein

go home to have steak and some prawns maybe, plus steamed veggies and maybe a small portion of pasta depending on what carbs I had earlier in the day.

Bloody oath. Overdid the calves methinks...can't stand flat footed. Really looking forward to squatting 3-4 times a week though!

Tried an empty bench bar in the same session and it didn't present any pain...I could be back to upper body sooner than I thought :)

Playing it safe though. Do we think it's worth doing movements like bench with an empty bar for rehab? Or just wait until completely healed and get back into the weights?

No idea mate and personally I wouldn't want to offer my broscience and screw you up even more... What's the physio say?

3-4 a week for squats = sounds pretty full on! You'll be getting doms for at least a day or two after each heavy squat session yeah?

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
