I recall looking into this when it last came up. Came across a "story" written by a guy who consumed what he feared to be a large amount (I think it was like ~400g/day), and when he spoke to his doc about it he was advised it was high but acceptable, for his size (he was like 200lbs built I think). The article then went on to explain how your body handles excess mercury etc which was pretty interesting

I do recall a few years ago of some athlete who ate a lot of tuna and having higher than norm mercury levels. I say it would have to be an isolated case. Well hoping anyways... I eat the best " John west " lol

Not me, I eat shitty Coles brand tuna and it tastes like ass to be honest. Meh, I eat tuna for the brotein, not the taste.

Well looks like I'll stick with my "2 cans of tuna a day routine" then haha :)

The trick is to time your purchase of tuna for specials...JW/Greenseas usually $1 a can at either woolies or Coles.

Or buy 4 pack of JW/Greenseas, which works out 1.50/can.

Yep, saw that come on sale right after I purchased 24 cans of Coles tuna. FML.

Hahahaha bad mistake

I gave the Coles tuna a go the other day, lemon and pepper

It tasted like a lemon meringue, disgusting

Yep, worse even was that I threw the receipt in the bin and couldn't exchange them for the JW ones :(

I made that mistake once, so I jsut stick to springwater now. There's an old saying about not being able to polish a turd..... hahaha

Give the JW or Greenseas lemon and pepper a go, it's much better. Hot chilli is good too but my digestive system didn't agree so no more :(

Will do mate, will keep an eye out and stock up hard when they're on sale again :cheers:

Hey guise - I don't have a build thread but I did a few measurements last night after 3+ months of solid gym work. I don't want to sound like I'm tooting my own horn too much, but I was really excited by the results; and most of my work in the gym has solely been attributed to information I've extracted from the health+wellbeing section on these forums. Much love brah's. :wub:

I started my first day weighing in at 76kg's, 174cm tall, 17.8%bf, thin, pasty, scrawny and generally weak as piss.

I started doing around 4 or 5 exercises of each upper body days, followed by lower body days, then a day off, then repeat.

For upper body:

Chest press 3x8

Shoulder press 3 x 8

Lat pull down

assisted wide grip chin ups

incline bench press

Military press

pull ups or bro curls

suicedes

rope pull for tri's/

For lower body

Squats

Deads

plate leg press

quad extension

hamstring curl

lunges

standing/seated calf raises

I would also try and do some hypertrophy stuff after each workout, mostly 30 seconds on/off on the rowing machine or spin bike. Or I'd do some sprints in the park or on the beach.

So last night, I weighed in at 78.5kg's, 18%bf, and a 7cm increase in chest width, 1cm decrease in belly circumference. 2cm gain in arms and legs.

tl:dr: Massively stoked that SAU fitness can provide excellent info. Cheers!

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
