Markos: I mean more so where should you be feeling the most drive/pressure when getting back up, At the moment I feel more mid foot to ball than I do in the heel.

Also for anyone who has switched between flat and incline press, what differences did you notice?

Incline was harder, lol. That, and I seem to suck BIG time on incline with a barbell, but do quite well with dumbbells :wacko:

Did you notice much of a difference in chest development?

It appeared as though my pecs developed much more just below my collar bone, so we'll go with yes - even though this topic has caused a shitstorm in the past already lol

Fair enough.

That's what I'm sort of looking for, the lower part of my titties seems developed enough and I was looking for a little more overall shape if that makes any sense and is even achievable.

hmmm, uni starts again this week, gym time will be cut down from 3-4 days a week to 2-3.

not sure if I should change my routine to accommodate less time or just keep doing what i am doing.

Day 1:

Squat

Bench

Rows

Day 2:

Squat

Military

Deadlift

all 5 x 5, with strength gains in mind.

Opinions?

Question, what would be a sensible daily goal for sugar consumption? I've been aiming for no more than 30g a day but I always seem to be way over by the end of the day. IIFYM has given me quotas for carbs, protein and fat only. I don't eat things full of sugar. Looking at my diet today for example; a banana with 12g of sugar and a yoghurt with 17g of sugar is what I've consumed sugar wise so far. I know the yoghurt isn't great but it has 16g of protein which is the main reason I'm consuming it.

Thanks.

I think generally you can disregard sugar content of fruits (unless ridiculously excessive) since they're "healthy" etc and fructose has a lower GI than what we generally consider "sugar"

Annoyingly, I too seem to blow out my "ideal" sugar intake even though I'm going out of my way to avoid sugars...seems the skim milk in my coffee ruins everything haha. Personally I don't care how much sugar I'm apparently consuming in a day since it's all "unavoidable" as part of my normal intake - especially now that I'm REALLY going out of my way to ditch foods with sugar added.

I think as long as you're not ADDING sugar to your intake in any way, and little things like milk in coffee and fruit/veg can probably be overlooked.

Cool, thanks for your help Troy :)

I've been getting my protein up to 130g a day... considering I don't consume any meat I'm pretty happy with that! Just want to make sure I'm doing everything else right too.

haha not bad considering no meat :P

I've got a dietary question as well - I know this is nit picking over macros and I honestly don't care about this point, it's just more of a curiosity thing, but "protein" from random foods like bread, heated milk in coffee, and various other sources like rice and veggies - can your body actually use these proteins in the same way it uses those from more typical sources like meat? Just seems a bit silly to me counting them someone's daily protein intake, especially when they're usually such trivial values.

The main difference betweeen animal and plant protein is the amount of amino acid. The amino acids in animal protein is most similar to our proteins therefore able to be absorbed and used by the bodily more rapidly. Plant proteins have less amino acids.

Basically you need to consume 20 to 25% more plant based protein to reap the benefits that animal protein provides.

If you don't count trivial sugars also, but at the end of the day it adds up to 200g sugar, did you not eat it?

felt this needed to be shared.

also dunno about Markos's beginner workout, not sure why.

Squat 3 x 10

Bench 3 x 8

Row 3 x 8

Military 3 x 8

SLDL 3 x 8

BB Curl (happy troy?) 3 x 8

I am assuming you just hit the next set as soon as you feel right to lift the weight the required reps?

How come SLDL instead of regular deads? any particular reason?

    • +1. Good thing is people wont tailgate you for a while
    • If you have a RB25DET NEO AWD motor, you will need this: https://www.hioctanedirect.com/ASR-RB26-RWD-Street-Comp-6.5L-Sump-Suit-R32/33/34-and-VL It is made for the AWD motor, but makes it fit a RWD setup and gives you a new pickup. Just one thing, the pickup sits quite forward, compared to a conventional RB25DET RWD motor. This may or may not have contributed to my previous AWD -> RWD shitting the bed at the track.
    • My car is also flex tuned. It's worth mentioning it (the LS1 ECU) has a 1D table for E85 addition and just uses the ethanol stoich part as the second point of reference. It also as a 3D timing map for Ethanol adjustment. You would think this isn't enough but it works pretty damn well. That said, I wouldn't want it in turbo application. It's like lifting non-natty, or taking meth. It gets you unrealistic results that break down more things going forward. If people used it to make the same amount of power they do on 98 then it'd be one thing. But people use it, crank it up to eleventy million PSI, it doesn't knock - but it pushes the point of failure to another, more expensive thing to break. Every time I see someone make 280kw on 98 and 350kw on E85 on the same equipment I just cry a bit and really wish they would just stay on 98 in that exact scenario. It's bad for you. 
    • This is kind of what I was thinking but the temp sender wire and the two pressure switch wires run through the starter subharnes and I eliminated the two pressure switch wires completely.  @GTSBoy I have a can gauge with unusually bright warnings should the oil pressure fall so the factory light isn't needed. I need to dig out my wiring diagram and see if I can sort this out.
    • It's a valid point. And it is doable with the Nistune. But I'm not inclined to flex it the way Nistune does - certainly not on a Neo ECU. They're already pernickety enough to tune just one one fuel. And of course, I'm not that interested in putting in a Link or similar, on a daily. With the stock ECU, stock looking turbo, etc etc, I still stand a chance of surviving a run-in with the plod. Last time it went over the pits (which was for the transplant, for because of a run-in with the plod), the Nistuned ECU did not even raise an eyebrow. They want to see a stock ECU running the engine, and they are happy to see it do so without the check engine light** on. Never mind that the Nistune is necessary to make the stock ECU work in a different chassis without ABS, TCS, etc. **And they actually provoke the CEL to come on by disconnecting the AFM, to prove that the globe hasn't been pulled!
