In absence of chalk you can use paper towels from the change rooms...or if your gym has them dotted around the weights areas like mine, that's handy. You can also punch a hole in the wall and use plaster of Paris :)

have tried the hook grip trigger but I'm led to believe prolonged use of that technique can cause permanent loss of feeling in your thumbs...

Hate to break it to you if you are concerned about health and body parts being injured weightlifting is the wrong game ;)

Eating what you have to do to get strong and big and lifting ridiculous weight is far from good on any of your body.

Plus you only need that grip on your final lifts. Its not like you are doing it all day every day

Sick of being fat now, need to cut. Thoughts on how long to go from 25-30% bodyfat down to 15-20ish? Maybe 500 calorie deficit

If you want to stay as strong as possible and maintain as much muscle mass. Count macronutrients, with around a 500calorie deficit, for 3months. .9g protein per lb, .7-.8g fat, rest as carbs.

Maintain whatever weight you get down to for a month, then re-adjust and go again.

If you don't care as much about holding strength and muscle mass, do what birds said as its 'easier' for most.

You are what you eat, if you always eat rubbish, you will be rubbish, simple, but no counting macaroni's, no fad diets, on that point you can and should eat some crap on the odd occasion, life wasn't meant to be boring.

I know its a clique but the paleo (?spelling?) type of lifestyle is simple and effective, and it doesn't cost a lot either.

I'm also confused why people are fascinated by trying to get their BF levels into the unhealthy range for long term, I know there are different body types and stuff but isn't the healthy range around 18-20%BF for active males?

Everyone I know who has tried to keep BF levels below these levels haven't held it long term, or are that worried about what they eat their lifestyles suffer, or their health/stamina/recovery.

If you are stripping for a comp or fight or something to get yourself to or below a certain number, then I can see the point then.

Haha only thing I actually asked was approximately how long would it take to drop the body fat? Because I've never done a 'cut' before. Appreciate the input though.

Just want to get down to about 15-20% as I believe this is a healthy sustainable range

Its hard to say without lots of background info.

What's your body weight and height?

What's your diet like throughout the day?

What training and conditioning do you do?

What body type are you?

How focused are you?

Do you have any injuries or medical issues?

If it was me I would just focus on my training and getting my diet sorted and see where that takes me in say, 2 months, if that is going well then sustain or adjust to suit.

After my hernia I cut out the low rep stuff and switched to 10 x 10 training, no change to anything else but I lost a lot of body fat in that 3 months.

so i'm starting crossfit soon. just a bit bored with the general bodybuilding and powerlifting things i've been doing these past few years, and i'll be focusing on olympic lifting too at this place

opinions? advice?

Be careful... Most of your mates will pay you out.. ;)

Haha really?

I have been doing cross-fit for about a year now. Unfortunately have been down and out for the last 4 weeks due to a severe groin injury, but I loved it.

The best thing about it I found was the wide variety of exercises and the competitiveness of your training group.

I have a couple of mates into weights and I feel pretty confident that I would come out on top for the 'True Grit' comp soon (injury willing).

One problem I did find though, was the Price. Quite high compared to your bog standard Gym membership if you get involved in CROSSFIT gym or involve a P.T.

yeah the price, bloody hell

i'd like to think i'm committed to my fitness so i'm paying $65 a week for unlimited classes

good thing about this place is that they do not only do crossfit but olympic lifting, muay thai, wrestling/BJJ, yoga and conditioning also

see how i go for a couple of months..

I enjoyed the few cross fit sessions that i did. Had to stop on the doctors orders.

Is tough and suited me to the bone because I am stupid competitive but is the exact type of exercise that would apparently kill me sooo yeah.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
