$65 a week wtf?

Is crossfit not something you can do by yourself at a $15 a week gym?

well i work sales in a gym actually so i got free membership and the facilities are very well equipped

it's more so the knowledge i want to pick up but bear in mind it's more than just crossfit, it's also the muay thai etc i'm interested in

i've done martial arts and been to several fight gyms before and prices per week for unlimited classes would equate to almost or about the same price for just martial arts

so combined 65 per week for a variety of styles and classes isn't so bad and olympic lifting (barbell classes) is what i want to pick up to higher level and i can't do that alone from watching youtube videos

How many gyms are equipped for Olympic weightlifting and coaching for $15?

It is something that you could teach yourself eventually.

You once posted a video of your benchpress and had a lot of not so optimal things pointed out...if you'd paid a bit more to have a coach, people on this forum wouldn't of had to coach you.

I asked if he was paying $65 a week to do crossfit and he already answered my question thanks

And no, no one here has ever coached me with my bench press, nor has anyone in real life. In fact I've never received training or coaching from anyone, amateur or professional, for any exercise I do. All that was said in regard to my video was Markos' doubting that the bar was reaching my chest due to the obscured view.

Unlike your analysis I actually used items of proportion not static amounts based on an unknown bodyweight lol

Of proportion? Cut out a meal and lower fats? What proportion are those measurements you gave?

Mine were grams per body weight. So it doesn't matter what body weight the person is, the ratios are still the same but the end total will be different.

Practice what you're trying to preach here.

Oh my mistake, didn't realise it was the 'obscured view'

You told him to operate at a 500 calorie deficit lol

  • 2 weeks later...

Gastro can EAD, over the last 4 days I have survived on about 5 peices of toast and a box of ORS.

I dare say if you are pushed for weight loss gastro might meet your weight loss needs, you don't even need to leave the security of your bath room.

Did I mention that gastro can EAD.

At the very least, your insulin sensitivity might've benefited a little lol

And agree with Birds. It's quite similar even when you're not unwell; only the psychological 'hunger' remains. Just annoying that when it's easy to fast because you're sick, it's bad for recovery....because you're sick :(

My body hasn't stopped flushing out for 5 days now, put something in, wait 20 minutes and out it comes.

The only keeping me sane and hydrated is the hydration salts that I'm chugging through.

As for eating, nothing spends enough time in the gut to be of any real benefit.

I am averaging 1 roll of TP for my bung hole every day.

Will throw myself on the scale this arvo to review the damage.

Ended up dropping 4ish kg, will see what its done to my strength during next weeks program.

Will take a few weeks to get strength back mate.

I ended up having a heap of time off due to various reasons and the main one is i kept getting sick on and off for about 6 weeks. Started back this week and very impressed with how strong i am considering. But sore... Wow never have i got this sore from training. I dont want a break like this ever again i can barely move haha

    • Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!
    • And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.
    • I have an R32 Fenix rad. It is good.
    • All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents
