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?

    • 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"
