$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

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

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
