Nice work Mark, getting pretty strong mate

Cheers mate, I'll be back at 17 next year fighting for a rack in the Hols gym.

How's your training going, my cardio has suffered badly over the last 3 months.

Sort of not looking forward to lots of running again, apparently that's all they do for pt.

its been going well mate, bit leaner these days but strength is still good

Managed to get another few years in Sydney hey :D

The new Gym should hopefully be done next year, the thing is massive so hopefully there will be more then one squat rack for you

that there army lifestyle.

base gym cost you money?

how much working out do you guys do each day, isnt it built into the daily training routine or is that dependent on what core you're in?

Most of the army boys juice these days? I know that used to but did hear of testing coming in?

I would hope they are allowed to as they are the ones that really need to be at the top of the game

No "juicing" where I am.

And juicing doesn't keep you at the top of your game,it might get you some results that you lose just as quick as they came.

Gym is free, food is cheap, life is good.

Not bad.

But they dont call them performance enhancing drugs for nothing. And quite wrong about not keeping the gains after you stop. If you eat and train like you were when you were on them you should keep between 60-80% and most of what you do lose is just water weight anyway. I train with a competitive body builder so see it all the time.

Well, I am on course ATM and my old mate Turtle is on the same course, so as you do we became training partners to incite some friendly competition and controlled rage.

After weights we have decided to throw in some light conditioning to keep the heart rate up, at be beginning of this week we decided to throw in some mouth guards, put on the gloves and proceed to punch each other in and around the head and body.

What a great way to finish a work out, the ring is a indoor basket ball court and it beats sitting on a bike or rower for 20 minutes, and its functional.

Funny thing is I keep thinking of the saying "the older I get, the better I was".

Its like a old comedy, two blokes shaping up, circling each other like sharks and throwing some punches for a while till one of us hits the other, which is then followed by apologises then more punching.

I have found it to be very hard work to punch your mate in the face whilst laughing hysterically.

I highly recommend adding this form of conditioning into your sessions.

Disclaimer: You will bleed, but the fun is worth it.

And yea it's dependent on how strict your unit is on making you do PT in the morning.. Some guys just gym it twice a day as they can get away with it. I personally like mixing it up with pt in the morning and weights in the arvo after work

How have you missed your opportunity if you didn't join at 18?

possible heart condition that requires a defibrillator in my chest.

physically and mentally I am fine, served in the Reserves for a few years and missed my chance for deployment due to being an idiot.

but yeah, if some sort of EMP goes off my pace maker stops and i die.

    • They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
