My advantage of being a diabetic is that I can actually figure out how many grams of carbs I'm ingesting. For eg. my body utilises 1 unit of insulin = 7.5g of carbs. When I have 1 full cup of oats with water I use 4 units of insulin to bring my blood glucose levels bang in the middle optimum range. When I ate a large pizza, I had to use 12 units of insulin which = 90g of carbs (basically the bread). Now 4 slices of burgen bread = 4 units (30g carbs) which equates to 1 cup of oats. Who needs to calorie count when I can calculate it dead on based on my body :)

As a laugh, I had a tiny slice of cheese cake and needed 6 units of insulin (45g). Crazy empty calories from that, not to mention the fats lol

As for fats, I loaded up on peanut butter & brazil nuts and minimised cheese, and red meats (was eating it 4 times a day at one stage) since my LDL cholesterol was at 3.8mmol/L and HDL at 2.7 mmol/L.

Leesh, anyone that wants.

Powerlifting men dont do them, unless Max is punishing one, the girls love them, but only Nina from the competing girls does them

Remember most of my clients just train to get strong and fit

A fireman that trains here goes very well on them.

Farkin firemen...some of those guys are seriously fit.

At my dad's old gym (Markos, you may or may not remember Findlays in Hawthorn/Camberwell), that I used to muck around at when I was a kid, there were some properly strong guys there. One was a fireman who did nothing but squat, all day everyday. He was about 6'5 and a judo champion of some sort. In short, you couldn't have paid me to pick a fight with him. Had a fantastic figure!

Kind of miss that gym...it had 30 year old homemade ball dumbells and old school machines with chains. Only two treadmills and no one used them lol

Findlays was THE gym back in the day. Most aspired to go train there.

My fireman, lets call him David, squats 180, benches 140 and deadlifts 220, around 96kg, very fit. Technique on the lifts is gym quality, bum up on bench etc

He has nearly completed DEATH WISH II

Thrusters - 20kg x 15

Cannonballs - 32kg x 15

UDL- 64kg x 15

C&P - 16kg x 15

Swings - 24kg x 15

2 circuits non stop, thats 150 reps

I encourage everyone to do one. The most common excuse is "I'm going to wait till I get stronger"

Heres a clue, no ones going to stop getting stronger to wait for you lol. History has shown me the guys that get in earliest progress much quicker. Thats how Liam, my 15yo now, deadlifted 200kg at 14 as well as squatting 170kg, at 82kg.

Conor is the same, started at 14, did a novice comp very early, now at 17 and 88kg, squats 240, benches 125 and deadlifts 245

Its not a spectator sport, no one got stronger watching

Since doing a Novice comp in 2011, this is how Conors progress has gone

3/12 - Vic States - [email protected] class

6/12 - Nationals - [email protected] class

9/12 - Worlds - [email protected] class

3/13 - Vic States - 570kg@90kg class

6/13 - Nationals - 605kg@90kg class

He squatted 130kg at his first comp, and 2 years later squatted 240kg, by the time he was 17

    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
    • I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.
