I did say that the waist was a typo. Im just under a 32 in pants size so 31.7 inches would be correct.

Hmmmm. I must have recorded it wrong because I just did a real poor measurement (with a camera computer cable and my tape at work) and got over 300mm.... Will remeasure soon and update the list.

got to the bottom of the issue, measurements should all be in inches. Settings on my JEFIT Pro app were for cms and I was entering inches. Makes sense when I pull my head out of my arse and actually look at something :domokun:

we all know the measurement of our wangs starts at the gap between your a-hole and ball sack. amiright?

It does? All this time I've been measuring from the base :/

And pushing the ruler hard against my pelvis :(

whilst drinking my awful Casein shake, I figured I'd update my log.

Calorie intake today (not including dinner) was around 2219, with dinner I am thinking around the 2500 calorie mark as I had a big bowl of paster with pork mince.... That had about 167g of protein in it, 100g of fat and 164g of carbs (no wonder ive got a grot gut)...

Workout tonight was Arms:

Preacher Curl:

20kg x 10 reps

30kg x 10 reps

30kg x 10 reps

30kg x 8 reps

25kg x 10 reps

25kg x 10 reps

30kg x 10 reps

30kg x 6 reps

Thats all for arms. On a side note, I went and brought some chicken, rice and brocalli for lunch this week. I figue it should be close to 300 calorie meal with 30g of protein. I only cooked enough for tomorrow, but tomorrow night I will weigh it all to get a more accurate reading.

Cheers,

Birds must be on one of those programs they advertise on porn sites;)

I'm having trouble bulking.... so I just did arms tonight... you should start every session with one or two of the big main lifts! smash yourself on that then move onto some smaller/iso stuff

I laugh at the guys who spend the same amount of time doing curl variations that it takes me to do cleans, overhead press, pull ups, dips, bent over rows etc... and they never seem to get any bigger...

Looks like a good solid program.

you are bound to make great gains on this

this. dude what are you eating to only get 2219... i think i might use your diet for my cut :whistling:

A whole day devoted to arms, come on brah :/

Should be doing that shit at the end of your respective push/pull session, and struggling at it because you already screwed your arms doing exercises that used them. You got more preachers than all the churches in Texas, more curls than MJ at age 10...

idea behind it is volume training. We also go 5 days a week which is why we split it up so much. We have the luxury of being able to hit every body part once a day.

biceps were in a hell of a lot of pain after this workout yesterday, especially the supersets.

if this is the best way to train I dont know, I dont pretend to be an expert, I just make sure that at the end of the workout I am hurting.

Although I 100% agree with what's been said you guys should really stop telling him what to do, I'm pretty sure he got the jist of the benefits of compounds a long time ago. If he wants to devote a day to arms then let him do it, not optimal though!

Chicken, brown rice, veg and olive oil is a healthy and easy way to get calories in so do that. You can also freeze them if you are time constrained like myself (although I recommend cooking the chicken as you need it, tastes horrible after its been frozen)

We're just trying to save him time and effort. He does in 5 days what he could do in 2, to achieve the same results. Better yet, he can repeat those 2 days later in the week and end up with better results.

Volume training is good but you're leaving a whole week between working that muscle again...so not only are you running it into the ground during your workout (there is such a thing as breaking muscle down too much), you have an excessive recovery period IMO. I just don't see the point to being so concerned with food intake (re: bulking) if you're going to ignore the usual recommendations for gaining size at the gym.

tl;dr: what Nick said.

Jut a friendly word of advice, any "volume" training you do for back and chest exercises is working the hell out of your bi's and tri's. Simply put, having an arms day without optimal rest means you're often in a catabolic state. Eating more will aid this, that's why we're saying you NEED to eat more.

Lol at volume training.

Volume training (which is actually German volume training) is not what you are doing there.

What you are doing is creating your own theory from different things you and your mates have read somewhere.

It's ok. Most people do this.

But please, do yourself a favour and don't waste too much time and energy.

1. Hurting at the end of your session does not always equal good workout.

2. Soreness next day is not a good measure of a good workout.

3. Training 5 days a week does not mean its better than training 3 days a week.

Didnt get to the gym last night, had a late meeting and oztag. Last weeks workout looked like this:

Shoulders:

Shoulder Press:

20kg x 10 reps

30kg x 10 reps

30 kg x 10 reps

Dumbbell Arnold Press: Really noticed my shoulder start to burn on this so I had to be real careful.

10kg x 10 reps

10kg x 10 reps

10kg x 8 reps

Dumbbell Lateral Raise:

7kg x 10 reps

7kg x 10 reps

8kg x 8 reps

Cable Front Raise:

10kg x 10 reps

10kg x 10 reps

10kg x 10 reps

Cable Rotator Cuff:

10kg x 10 reps

10kg x 10 reps

10 kg x 10 reps

Bent Over Delt Raise:

5kg x 10 reps

5kg x 10 reps

7.5kg x 8 reps

Had I made it last night, would have been the same workout only with 4 sets instead of 3.

You've got more raises than a bank exec, more cables than a suspension bridge etc. Simplify dude! You're not a bodybuilder (yet) trying to craft every head on every muscle. What's the point of icing/decorating a cake if the thing is no bigger than a pancake?

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
