So obviously there are a quite a few in here that have been training for a while, but I am curious as to whether you guys are training with your heaviest exercise load or did you exercise much more in the past than you do now?

Either way, what did you do or do you do when you are exercising the most?

haha, no, not the heaviest weight lifted.

hmm... most intensive training program?

When it was implemented (in the past or doing it now?) and what it is?

Apologies for the cryptic language.

I like Lamp

Congrats, now maybe you can make like one, stand in the corner and STFU.

Cardio - age 17 to 18, SANFL (football) training

Weights - currently 5days a week, however only 7 weeks into it.

How often did you train for the footy Brendan? I'd imagine you lifted weights as well during that time, yes?

I used to do weights 5 mornings a week and 3 nights kickboxing.

I stopped doing weights and started doing MMA as well as kickboxing When I started coping with that I started weights again 2 nights a week.

The last year due to injures Im only managing to do kickboxing but trying to get back to MMA and weights.

Next goal for me atm is Tuff Mudder, after that the fighting will get a bit more serious

Yeah just from training. I cracked my ribs twice last year as well as a few other little things

I only herd about TM about a month ago. The fighters class where going to do it but there is a show on the 1st April so most of them will be in that. So ive ended up joining in with a couple of girls that train in the intermediate/beginners class and their friends. Not really expecting it to push my limit (with the group im with) but still looking forward to it.

Yeah I did a lot of home weights, then gym sessions 2-3x a week after footy training. Trained 5 nights a week and played 2-3 games a weekend. All with ruined knees that dislocated numerous times daily, bone-on-bone. Got to the stage where I guess I overdid it for too long resulting in numerous surgeries. Hindsight is great, but at the time all I wanted was to reach my goal of 1 1st18 Sanfl game.

I'm guessing you played ruck lol.

LOL, yeah thats it. Ruck, moving to Centre-half forward and full forward during quarters.

Felt I would have been best suited to CHB as a rebounding defender setting up play on the counter attack / forward-press spoiler, but too many coaches are set in their ways...... Enjoyed ruck & chf tho. Nothing better than taking the pack mark outisde 50 & bombing it through ;) closely followed by tapping it out of the ruck down the throat of my onballer who then burst through the congestion & goaled on the run. Fun times, pity it didnt last long

Farkin coaches...yeah I was in a real short team in my social footy league...so at only 6'3 they wanted me to play ruck, which I was shit at anyway, and when I played in centre half forward they had me up against guys who were 7' and 130kg. Kind of hurts when they land on your foot...

Training was much more in cardio in my 20's.

At 30 I did some very heavy training / power lifting in conjunction with plyometrics and sprints (struggled with technique). Though the weights sessions were very short , the weights were stupidly heavy. 235kg on the bar (whatever that weighs) for squats 6 reps. 520kgs on hack squat machine. 520kg donkey calf machine. 740kg leg presses. In terms of training load. The heavy weights load the hell out of your heart in terms of blood pressure when lifting.

Started as an idea of getting into sprinting (100m) for a laugh but, due to life work and family (4 kids) it derailed.

tried getting back into weights a year or so back. Put on lots of muscle and lots of strength and then got sick lost a fair whack of weight and stopped, habit broken.

At almost 40 , Trying to back into it at the moment (3 weeks ago) with a couple of really small workouts a week (2-3 per week) to see if I can get back into the habit.

Interesting thing is that for almost 10 yrs I still looked like I worked out (even though I was doing nothing) based on the weight training I did back in the day and not too much beer and chips in the diet.

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
