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

    • 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.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
