My workout over the past few days in this holiday period using all the free time i can

Sunday:

4km Bike Ride in arvo

3.5km walk around the suburbs

3km run on the treadmill at the gym,

added on to that 9km bike to the gym and back

Monday:

3-4km Bike Ride Arvo

4km walk around the suburbs

3km run on the treadmill at the gym,

added on to that 9km bike to the gym and back

Today:

25km bike ride to the inner city Melbourne, taking the train back

3.5 walk around the burbs

planning to gym later biking it and back

I dropped 30kg with the following not fast mind you took over 18 months

5 times a week min 30 min exercise bike road about 12km in that time worked up to setting 6 out of 10

bike said this was 300 calories (to give you a idea) and was covered in sweat afterwards

was doing a "Russian power lifting" exercise 3 times a week squat bench power clean

only fast food was like fasta pasta and subway

switched to coke zero 10kg's in just this I think

the last 10kg's I had to switchthings up as I plateaued dropped the weights

morning tea and lunch to 1 small can of tuna (that was all) breakfast was 4 weetbix

dinner was anything fairly normal

I could have lost it faster by dropping the 1 large pizza on my cheat day

but the point is doing something you can maintain for a long time

think about how long it took you to be a fat dude

me at 102kg me at 82kg

I got down to 72kg like kissed 72kg but couldn't maintain it and do weights

so I'm back around 82 and thinking I need to add some cardio again

72kg photo of me in Japan eating some stuff as proof

and yes tuna taste like cardboard if you eat it enough washed it down with way to much coke zero

Solid effort was solid, great work. Done sensibly with changes that can be maintained.

This is exactly what larger people need to do, make lifestyle changes they can stick too.

Still ate your pizza, still had some coke etc.

Awesome results mate. Always good to see someone succeed using the basics where so many others fail.

So is that 1 hour of weights and 1 1/2 hours of socializing :P

nah we were basically rotating straight onto our next set (3 of us) so probably 1.5-2min break generally.. sore as right now but you're right would of liked it a little bit more intense - probably next time (one of the blokes kept talking hehe)

Needs moar deads and squats

They got many racks?

yeah heap of stuff there, i'll have to count the racks next time so many new and interesting machines mainly just enjoying the change of scenery - something different. They had speed channel up on the wall (projector) with rally and racing :D

genesis expires mid feb I think then I'll probably join up spartans.. like half the price.. only took like 10 minutes to get home too, like 20 to get there in peak hour. Join us birdman!

managed to give myself an insane headache yesterday from doing my squats - the symptoms appear to be that of an exertion headache, I guess I didn't realise just how much hotter it was in the gym. Had to cut my routine short, so hopefully no dramas with SLDL and bench today!

cbf extra 5 mins man and I might have a job in Knoxfield soon lol

All I need is a squat rack, a pull-up bar, a bench and some weights.

fair enough, yeah it would probably be a little bit far from your place I was thinking.

What job brah? nice and close to home if you get it.

Yeah 40c till Friday

Makes it a bit harder at the gym :wacko:

Just want to go to the beach and relax instead

started working out when I got engaged in May 2010 as I didn't wanna be a fat dude in my wedding photo's 1 year later got down to 85kg's for the big day

Japan was April 2012 so its been a long road ( bit more than 18 months I thought lol)

most of my workouts are/were done between 10pm and 1am as its easy to find the time

them as really most of the time I was sitting round watching tv or playing ps3 now that I've got a little fella I've kept doing it then so I'm not stealing time from him or the wife

117.5kg single for an equal personal best, after 6 reps of 100kg on the previous set. Was a much easier feeling lift than I used to do it, too. 120 next session. Waiting for the bench plateau monster to kick in!

Might need to start a bench progress thread ala the deadlift/squat/pull-up threads.

120kg bench! New pb! 1.5x body weight! Hooray!

Huge milestone for me, as I could never get past 117.5kg during my pre-injury days. This was done after 100kg x 7, which is, incidentally, another pb (most reps I've done of 100kg).

Now here's the kicker: my last bench session, prior to this, had me benching only 60kg for max reps...just two sets (28, 22 reps). Then I come back tonight and break the 1RM pb. So question is, was the change up in weights/reps responsible for the new pb or was the break/rest from heavy weights beneficial...or both?

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • 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)
