Ants, I know what you're saying bruv. My point was more that old mate said he can't wait until his metabolism slows down so he can gain weight...but it will be he wrong kind of weight. He can put on muscle instead and look a hundred times better and not be a 50kg rake.

Similarly to Dan, when I left school I was 62kg at 188cm, which is probably about as skinny as ZRBE is at his height. Now at 80kg, no one calls me skinny anymore and I didn't put on any fat to get there :)

ZRBE, compound movements are exercises that work more than one muscle/joint at the same time. The big three powerlifting movements, squats/deadlifts/bench are compounds. As are rows and pull-ups etc. But those big three will put on more muscle mass and build strength quicker than any other exercise particularly for a beginner. Do those properly and you will have no problem gaining weight or eating more.

say what?!

Sweet as. Cheers for that man. :)

Well after a game of oztag tonight where I wasn't even good for a half I have decided I need to do more to look after my cardiovascular fitness.

Any cardio work in the gym before or after weight training will not happen. Not even worth mentioning.

My options are:

1. Crossfit

2. MMA at a decent gym

3. Cardio in the morning before work

Option 1 & 2 would basically mean no more actual gym work due to time constraints. 3 means getting up earlier and not being lazy. But I have no idea what type of cardio to do, jogging does not appeal to me nor does bike riding, I would have to do HIIT training but dont know where to start.

Thoughts and opinions?

None.

Weights you can do for 3x8 or 3x10.

Done explosively.

60 secs between sets.

Focus on compound movements.

Plenty of cardio.

If you're not puffed the weight is too light or you're not moving fast enough.

Alternatively, do two exercises at one time and switch back and forth set for set. 60secs rest after 1 set of each movement.

Or various alternatives of the above.

MMA would be a step above compound weights I'd say. Sparring is full body recruitment, huge tax on the respiratory systems.

I didn't do MMA but I did do some freestyle martial arts back in the day, nowhere near as hard a work as grappling though, and I agree it's a different type of fitness.

yea the MMA was hard, especially when I was fighting.

I am thinking about just running in the morning, least i can get the dog out with me. Pitty the baseball field locks all of its gates, cant get in and just let her off the lead and me do some sprints

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
