I do. Looks like the kinda girl Troy would try to impress.

Wut dafuq is diz suposd to mean kunt? haha actually :P

FYP.

Kunt.

pics?

This. Now I'm curious, even if it was just a pisstake at my expense hahaha

of course not, you believe 1200kcal is fine...

eat nothing and the body will expect nothing forever. Makes it a pretty dismal life.

lol at this

1200kcal is a proscribe diet intake with is giving by dieticans/nutrionist. Giving that half of you in here are net junkies anyway you dont really have a place to say or comment when we know nothing about this girl apart from weight. We dont know what her diet or intake of food is actually like so how can you comment?

all i stated was its a macro count that works but this is given with specific routines and again we have no idea what she is doing in the training side of things either...

if she wants to stick to the 1200kcal then she should change how she trains

Since the mass banning of pre workouts (real ones) I've stopped them all together. Rest are pumped with their fancy derivatives of vitamins and caffeine lol.

lol yeah pretty much this.

However BN's "Cognitone" with some beta alanine chucked in does a pretty damn good job for me personally. The cognitone itself is fairly low on physical stimulants, seems to be aimed more towards mental focus with a little bit of caffeine (200mg I think). With the BA in the mix I reckon it's a good balance.

I accidently had my training protein shake with lunch at work yesterday (with beta alanine) instead of my usual protein shake. I must have grabbed the wrong one out of the pantry. I was all tingly and energetic lol.

because there is only one gym in Mildura that does any kind of powerlifting training, and after looking into their training routines and outcomes, I wasn't convinced.

One of the Crossfit gyms in town is apparently getting into powerlifting as well, so I'm going to check it out when my membership is up. Trust me, I don't like having to wait 30 minutes to use the only power cage every time I'm there!

Powerlifting gyms are extremely rare. That one in Mildura is a PA affiliate gym, I dont know of any really strong guys training there, going by results on the PA website.

Looks like there will be a PTC opening in Eltham shortly. The owner has an extensive background in powerlifting and strongman, plus was a previous gym owner.

Still too far bozo lol

Yeah I dunno what they do - I think they are into Starting Strength and Stronglifts type stuff as far as I can tell.

Thanks for looking into it Markos - the guy who is running this other Crossfit place is Vince Simonetta, apparently he was a pretty strong lifter back in the day. My ears pricked up when I heard he was going to be getting into PL as well. Your beginner program is going well for me BTW - my gym bros however are unable to cope with so much squatting and DL, so I'm training alone now!

Maybe one day I'll make it to PTC and you can have a laugh at my horrible benchpress form :)

If we all ate what the recommended daily intake is, we would all be undereating. Seeing as we are in a Gym related thread.

What makes your worth in here any more than the rest of us? again, its an open forum.

Its doesn't matter what her diet is, 1200Cal is still 1200Cal.

1200Cal has nothing to do with a macro count? no mention of macro count in your posts about it at all.

and lastly, changing her workout to a less intense one just to eat less food is counter productive.

what does RDI have to do with a 1200cal diet? not a damn thing...

how does changing her workout become less counter productive? again we have no idea what she is like or doing, however the term "CARDIO" which gets thrown around in here is completely opposite to a workout targeting "FAT LOSS"

go do some research and learn to diferentiate between the two and come back to me because they are not the same thing in any sense hence why i said change the workout.

I thought you must of been talking about some sort of mainstream one size fits all diet when you said 1200kcal is a proscribe diet... Not sure what you meant by that then.

I didn't mention the word cardio.

justifying a low calorie diet doesn't change the fact it's a low calorie diet.

Vince Simonetta is one of Australias greatest ever powerlifters, a legend in the sport, deadlifted 345kg@90kg

no not mainstream at all for everyone but it def works and is extremely good but aslong as the right guidance is there....its given to alot of people specially in sydney by several seriously qualified dietry experts that PT train aswell

yes but a low calorie diet doesnt mean its low in carbs or protein. Specially being carbs are the main energy source for the body. Its likely that is the reson she flaked due to incorrectly managing the intake at 1200cals

i certainly wouldnt suggest 1200cals to someone that is active all day

What methods have you guys successfully used to increase reps for a given weight.

Using bench as an example, I'm out of plates and have no room for more on the 7ft bar anyway (lots of small plates). There's 116kg all up inc the bar (8kg standard 7ft bar).

I can buy more plates I know, but in the meantime I'm not seeing improvement in rep count at this weight.

I'm doing a 3x8 routine which looks like this at the moment.

First set lighter 93 (8) 116( never more than 7, I often get half way up on the 8th rep attemp but can't make it without a spotter and I train alone) then on the final set I'll get 4-5 reps tops. I've added 4th and 5th sets before, but I'll get say 4 reps on the next set then 2 or 3 on the last. I've also tried increasing the rest from 2 to 3mins etc.

I'm eating more protein, doing no leg work at the moment so am plenty fresh (normally I'd have done squats before bench) but just not seeing the 8th rep appear in that second set or any more than 5 in the last.

As I've mentioned before, normally I'd add weight earlier and over time, if you drop back to the original weight you struggled on you find you can do the reps now.

But without room on the bar or more plates around, what other techniques can I try?

Craze wasn't banned .. There was a lawsuit in the states saying craze contained something banned so Ds pulled the stuff off the shelves. Since than the lawsuit has been dropped but craze are conducting there own tests ( that was an email I received from Ds labs after I sent them a query )

Yeah because all the supp stores in Australia are still stocking them right this minute aren't they?

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
