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?!

G'day boys and gals, As title suggest, I weigh about 66kg and have since year 11 when I was 16yrs old. Now 22 and still weigh the same. Lifestyle and my own lack of real dedication is a major hindran

I was 65kg when I left school, and it took a solid year of training and eating like a horse to gain weight, now I can hold it as my metabolism has slowed. It will happen and you can make it happen f

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.

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

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
