Mitch, this is not the place for the debate, I'll leave it with saying I'm 51 years old, and the effects of alcohol compared to the effects of AAS are 100% worse, in what I have seen in my time.

Alcohol destroys societies. I would be absolutely gutted if my kids drank, gutted. Actually that goes for my entire powerlifting team, not one drinker amongst the swollen crew.

I think we should leave this alone, I am outnumbered 1,000 to 1 on here.

i agree it isn't the place for the debate. But I will agree with the point I think you are actually making, the abuse of alcohol is just as bad as the abuse of steroids. Key word for me is abuse.

I would love to do one or two cycles of steroids just to see, but the potential risk on my health (which I would hazard a guess) is probably higher then most other peoples.

To keep this thread upbeat

Not only do we have a fridge and microwave, we also have a BBQ. In the better weather its steaks all round.

Its fair to say eating plays a big role at PTC

Across the road we have a supermarket, BBQ chicken shop, bakery,fish and chips and a noodle bar, directly across the road, a 2 minute stroll.

Two minutes up the road is KFC and Mickey D's

If someone arrives to the gym late, they generally bring a big bag of burgers

Another favourite is chocolate milk, always have litres of it in my fridge

The supplement bar only has RTD protein shakes and protein bars

1,000 to 2!

Don't know anyone who has died because of someone else's steroid use. Alcohol and driving...

Alcohol ruins families. It is only legal for three reasons: tax, longstanding societal traditions/rights/laws, and death/destruction being so slow and steady that it can't be blamed directly - which is what makes it so deadly.

One of my favourite films, Warrior, has a very realistic sub plot revolving around alcoholism being responsible for an entire estranged family. Seen it happen time and time again in real life.

Smoking and gambling are the same. The latter tears families apart and is so unregulated it's not funny.

Do I think they should all be legal? Yes, people should have the choice and freedom IMO. But I also think PEDs should be legal and somewhat regulated, like alcohol is. Hard to judge what substance would be more harmful if both were given equal widespread use, but alcohol is definitely more harmful.

My $3.50

Hah...I always cop shit at restaurants for ordering a chocolate milkshake with lunch/dinner. Waitress inevitably laughs; friends ask if I'm 8 years old before ordering their beers*...

Just part of the lifestyle, I guess.

*then complain they aren't getting anywhere with gym or can't lose their gut

If you're repeatedly geting stuck at say 6 to 7 reps on your final set of 3x8s, whats the best way to get past it?

Brief pause and do the missing reps?

normal break then extra set?

Just add more weight to that set next time?

Or add weight to the previous sets?

Or maybe longer break before final set?

Increase weight and do a 4th set for as many reps as you can. Or do a 4th set of the same weight for as many as you can do. There's no exact equation for it, just do MORE of something heavy. Come back next time and magically discover your 7-8th rep on the 3rd set!

I spent some time with the US powerlifters that just competed in Tassie.

Eric Lilliebridge had chocolate milk with him 24/7

Brandon Lilly drank 4 litres of it during breakfast, every day he was here

Kirill Sarychev had 40 litres of milk sent to his room when he arrived, I have no idea how he stored it, maybe he just drank it all, he has benched 315kg raw after all

These boys redefined big eaters, it was an eye opener to my crew

Train heavier 3-5 reps. You will eventually be able to do more reps on that 7 rep weight and you get stronger faster. You can rest your ass off between sets. Lifting very heavy i would wait for my heart rate to return to rest sometimes. You dont have to do that though

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
