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.

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
