yeah I'm still a bit torn between Simplest Strength and BBB as Simplest Strength calls for 3x10 sets of ab and lower back work twice a week, and many respected coaches say that situps and back extensions are bad for your back (most of the fancier stuff like ab wheel rollouts I don't have access to and not strong enough for hanging leg raises).

do situps bending at the hip holding the core straight, sliding hands up to the knees, holding and back down. not crunches,

you will feel it in your lower abdominals more.

Do side bends, or torso twists with a bar.

condition is called Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricle Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy or ARVD/ARVC for short.

It is a heard condition that effects the right centricle, bascially the ventricle increases in size until a point where the heart just stops. Commonly found in athletes that die suddenly for no apparent reason.

What they believe is that high levels of exercise especially stuff where your heart rate spikes and lowers and spikes some more (HIIT training is another no no) stresses and effects the heart differently to people with the condition compared to people without it.

Could also plank, normal and side. 100% contraction, compared to top 1/3 for a situp/crunch and no negative impact to the back.

V-sits on a bench are good, as are leg raises with legs overhanging the end of the bench.

Links?

I'm eager to hear the opposing view point from genuinely knowledgeable people, not keyboard warriors.

I take the mouse thing with a grain of salt. A friend of mine, in Melbourne, works in a lab that uses mice for cancer research, the positive effects of that research have translated to humans so saying a test was done on a mouse as a reason for dismissing it is pretty stupid, a lot of testing is done on animals before it goes to human trials.

it's more the fact that it's a correlative rather than causative study- the comments I found were in discussion of the Guardian article of pretty much the exact same thing.

I used to get wound up by these things, but there's so many health benefits attributed directly to high protein diets that I find this sort of stuff to be quite alarmist.

I think the important thing to look at with these sorts of studies is the metadata - i.e. were some of the mice obese, sedentary or active? What sort of diet were they fed specifically?

It's no secret that many of the world's oldest living cultures have a carb heavy protein light diet - check out Alan Aragon's dissection of Paleo here - he goes into this phenomena in some detail http://www.nsca.com/uploadedFiles/NSCA/Inactive_Content/Program_Books/PTC_2013_Program_Book/Aragon.pdf

Age old saying right, "Everything in moderation"?

Atkins is great way to shed bodyfat but I personally wouldn't use it year round. I don't know about you guys but when I'm on a low carb diet I eat heaps of veg, particularly greens, so it's not like the diet is completely skewed towards protein it still needs to be rounded.

I am of course am a health/nutrition noob.

In the end if you want to gain muscle your protein intake needs to support that. Get big and die trying seems accurate

    • 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.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
