My workout over the past few days in this holiday period using all the free time i can

Sunday:

4km Bike Ride in arvo

3.5km walk around the suburbs

3km run on the treadmill at the gym,

added on to that 9km bike to the gym and back

Monday:

3-4km Bike Ride Arvo

4km walk around the suburbs

3km run on the treadmill at the gym,

added on to that 9km bike to the gym and back

Today:

25km bike ride to the inner city Melbourne, taking the train back

3.5 walk around the burbs

planning to gym later biking it and back

I dropped 30kg with the following not fast mind you took over 18 months

5 times a week min 30 min exercise bike road about 12km in that time worked up to setting 6 out of 10

bike said this was 300 calories (to give you a idea) and was covered in sweat afterwards

was doing a "Russian power lifting" exercise 3 times a week squat bench power clean

only fast food was like fasta pasta and subway

switched to coke zero 10kg's in just this I think

the last 10kg's I had to switchthings up as I plateaued dropped the weights

morning tea and lunch to 1 small can of tuna (that was all) breakfast was 4 weetbix

dinner was anything fairly normal

I could have lost it faster by dropping the 1 large pizza on my cheat day

but the point is doing something you can maintain for a long time

think about how long it took you to be a fat dude

me at 102kg me at 82kg

I got down to 72kg like kissed 72kg but couldn't maintain it and do weights

so I'm back around 82 and thinking I need to add some cardio again

72kg photo of me in Japan eating some stuff as proof

and yes tuna taste like cardboard if you eat it enough washed it down with way to much coke zero

Solid effort was solid, great work. Done sensibly with changes that can be maintained.

This is exactly what larger people need to do, make lifestyle changes they can stick too.

Still ate your pizza, still had some coke etc.

Awesome results mate. Always good to see someone succeed using the basics where so many others fail.

So is that 1 hour of weights and 1 1/2 hours of socializing :P

nah we were basically rotating straight onto our next set (3 of us) so probably 1.5-2min break generally.. sore as right now but you're right would of liked it a little bit more intense - probably next time (one of the blokes kept talking hehe)

Needs moar deads and squats

They got many racks?

yeah heap of stuff there, i'll have to count the racks next time so many new and interesting machines mainly just enjoying the change of scenery - something different. They had speed channel up on the wall (projector) with rally and racing :D

genesis expires mid feb I think then I'll probably join up spartans.. like half the price.. only took like 10 minutes to get home too, like 20 to get there in peak hour. Join us birdman!

managed to give myself an insane headache yesterday from doing my squats - the symptoms appear to be that of an exertion headache, I guess I didn't realise just how much hotter it was in the gym. Had to cut my routine short, so hopefully no dramas with SLDL and bench today!

cbf extra 5 mins man and I might have a job in Knoxfield soon lol

All I need is a squat rack, a pull-up bar, a bench and some weights.

fair enough, yeah it would probably be a little bit far from your place I was thinking.

What job brah? nice and close to home if you get it.

Yeah 40c till Friday

Makes it a bit harder at the gym :wacko:

Just want to go to the beach and relax instead

started working out when I got engaged in May 2010 as I didn't wanna be a fat dude in my wedding photo's 1 year later got down to 85kg's for the big day

Japan was April 2012 so its been a long road ( bit more than 18 months I thought lol)

most of my workouts are/were done between 10pm and 1am as its easy to find the time

them as really most of the time I was sitting round watching tv or playing ps3 now that I've got a little fella I've kept doing it then so I'm not stealing time from him or the wife

117.5kg single for an equal personal best, after 6 reps of 100kg on the previous set. Was a much easier feeling lift than I used to do it, too. 120 next session. Waiting for the bench plateau monster to kick in!

Might need to start a bench progress thread ala the deadlift/squat/pull-up threads.

120kg bench! New pb! 1.5x body weight! Hooray!

Huge milestone for me, as I could never get past 117.5kg during my pre-injury days. This was done after 100kg x 7, which is, incidentally, another pb (most reps I've done of 100kg).

Now here's the kicker: my last bench session, prior to this, had me benching only 60kg for max reps...just two sets (28, 22 reps). Then I come back tonight and break the 1RM pb. So question is, was the change up in weights/reps responsible for the new pb or was the break/rest from heavy weights beneficial...or both?

    • 2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together  Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.
    • Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.
    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
