ive increased my food intake by adding another 2 meals a day. Still have not noticed the benefits.

guess im still not eating enough

Use bodyfat increases as a good sign. If you start gaining weight, then you're likely above maintenance which is what you want for breaking plateaus. If you're not gaining weight, you're likely just maintaining or still on a deficit.

beach body? my outlook is no one cares if you have abs if you only weigh 70kg.

body has toned up a bit more, but that could be the change in routine. Went all the way to slopville when I was doing 5x5, but now back to higher reps seems to be coming good again.

Also a marked improvement from my reflux issues. Started drinking those Yakult things each night, can now drink milk again with seemingly no issues. Have pushed it to sitting on the lounge at night with a 2 liter bottle of chocolate milk and just swigging it until bed time. No reflux issues during these times and no issue in the morning. Will try for protein shakes again in the future.

Tried using Zantac or going to a doc for pantoprazole? I've been using it for years, hoping that once I ditch the gut, I should be able to stop taking it.

I seem to have gotten my diet in the sweet spot - losing about .5k a week now.

After working off of power poles and constantly moving all day and wanting to sleep at night I bought a product called pre workout by elemental nutrition I find it works well. Doesn't give me a huge hit like mesomorph but gives me good clean energy for my workout and I can take it in late arvo and still sleep well

C4 and Craze both work aight IMO

Got some White Flood for $10 at GNC (down from 99) cos it's expired sep this year. Might give it a go tonight

Pre workouts decent if you're having one of 'those' days I reckon.

dafaq is 'clean energy'?

on another note, anyone hit the weights on speed or cocaine? I played the best game of soccer on speed one night, so good after the game i was ready for another.

She's been on it for a week now, she is always messaging me about something/wanting reassurance etc so yeah possibly.

Her message 10 minutes ago:

3 months til summer, panicing I havent got my summer body yet...

Thats a challenge for sure.

Takes time to realise that adopting a new way to live is the secret to getting there and staying there. Your friend sounds like they are 'dieting' in the approach to both training and eating. She will fail long term and may even fail short term.

The decision to live differently needs to be embraced. Then changes will be permanent and the body look will be also. Works when the changes are enjoyable and not punishment without reward.

pendlay rows vs conventional bent over rows anyone?

decided to take your advice and skip flat bench the past few days Rev, the right shoulder was feeling better today so did a bit of light bench (cardio day), but it seems to have aggravated it. Since I obviously should give flat bench a miss for a while, what's a good substitute for it? Not having any dramas doing dips or OHP otherwise.

'clean energy' is a term I mainly see being used by supplement selling bros about their new pre workout or "pump enhancer" supplements LOL.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
