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?

    • 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"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
