Oh you repeat the exercises again later in the week...no that's alright...I thought you were leaving a week's gap between working that muscle group. And yeah, if it works for you, keep doing it I say.

Good thing Wednesday was the rest day you've assigned Birds, coz I was a motherf**king wreck today. Since what would have been ~6pm AEST Sunday arvo I've had around about 11 hours sleep. Until I got home and crashed out this evening for a few hours. Not cool.

Gonna call in sick tomorrow so I can actually catch up on this lack of sleep, will definitely hit the gym over lunch tomorrow though, keen to get back into it SO f**kING BAD WAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Oh yeah for sure, easing into it. Making sure to stretch and shit first too.

This is balls having to drop my weights. f**k going on holidays again lol. Last time I went on holidays I could incline leg press 200kg before I left, ate nothing but shit while I was gone, and could press 260kg when I returned. Guess where I went...

Hahaha well you can probably attribute that to you gaining extra weight and your legs growing used to supporting your larger frame. Don't forget that on the incline leg press, you're not really pushing any body weight...

Stretching good idea! I do it pre-workout myself...but they are more joint movements than stretches, just to make sure nothing is sitting incorrectly.

haha, nah man. Didn't put on any weight either ;)

2 week snowboarding trip, 10 days on slopes.

Well well well, look who shows up in THIS section!

So far after having done almost a week's worth of Birds' plan, I'm starting to feel a lot better. I know it's early to make any calls, but I'm at least feeling the endorphins again that's for sure! hahaha. Will see if I look any different mid next week/next weekend, will at least indicate whether my diet is back on track again.

Way too early to call :)

You'll need a solid 2-3 months of it before you see physical results, i.e. muscle mass.

If you're hitting the cardio and dieting to cut down, well yeah, you can see those physical differences in days/weeks.

That said...your strength gains will start quicker than that and the muscle pain will at least show you what areas of the body you have been targeting.

Well I just shot myself in the foot...

Went snowboarding yesterday (was gonna be a 2 day thing, today as well) and ended up almost breaking my neck. Launched over a rise wrong, spearing myself into the ground face-first at probably around a 45deg angle. Head dug into the snow (made a hole about 50cm long and 30cm deep) until coming to a stop, at which point my body rolled over my head - pressing my face down towards my chest. Thankfully it's only gone and pulled all the muscles across my back, so I'll likely be fine in a day or 2....but f**k me...it hurt like you wouldn't believe (unless you've broken your neck/back before :P)

Now to catch up on all the sleep I didn't get last night coz it was impossible to be comfortable.

  • 2 weeks later...

Update: back is feeling much better now, only a little bit stiff when I do certain exercises or when I wake up in the morning.

Picture update, just ate so leave the "abs" alone (don't think these are worth migrating back to the wasteland...) NOf**kINGHOMO, you clicked this thread, I think it is YOU who may be in the questionable position ;)

LOL I would get Kerttu to take them, but I reckon she'd just laugh at me...which is fair enough :P though the tan isn't as bad as the photos make it look :(

So what if I pose like a 16yr old girl, huh? I DO IT GOOOOOD SISTER *clicks fingers* mmhmm!

hahaha, but yeah I go to Club Lime in Tuggers. Might be Belco CISAC as well soon, if I get a prospective job with HP

Update: so I weighed 74kg before my europe trip. 72kg when I got back, with visible fat gain. Now I weigh 71kg after getting back into it hard with a better diet and more food intake than before.... Wtf? Why am I not gaining weight? Lol

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
