I'm not a diet expert.

There are many that are that you can find on the net.

But if you want my opinion in it's simplest form.

animals and vegetables = 90%

wheat/grain related stuff = 10%

beef, lamb, chicken, fish, pork (if you are an infidel), turk3y, roo, emu etc etc

vegetables of all colours.. the more colours the better.

the way you described the pizza and wrap make them sound much better than how I pictured them initally.

If you are happy with your diet, then fine.

But if you are hitting a platue, it will most likely be diet or rest related.

I would say my diet may be a touch carb heavy some times but is otherwise not bad, I think sleep is a big part, but honestly how can you make yourself sleep better.

I've started going to bed earlier but my real issue is waking up repeatedly be it from temp or being uncomfortable.

Just reading about that, cheers for the suggestion.

Anyone here have experience with it? Supp for more naturally occurring?

A quick read shows foods only contain low amounts.

Its unfair to call it a diet, its just crap he shoves in his mouth

Tolga is a young Markos lol

He too will one day learn the term "wasting your time"

But for now, he needs to experience this

Amusing thread

I was waiting for you to pop in, I just thought you'd have more to add lol

I'll admit I do not follow a strict eating regime, I just try and be mindful of fats and sugars, don't eat too much or too little. As I said earlier, I'm not out to set the weight lifting world on fire. I'm not sure I need to be too hardcore to get what I'm after, but perhaps my goals are much further down the ladder than others.

I'd of thought the preference would be that someone puts it all out there, takes the advice on board and looks to do it better, rather than having another person doing it wrong, or worse, telling others that what they do is right/better when it's not.

Give me some credit :D

ok serious response.

you have hit a platue where you can bench 87kg for 3 sets of 8, but when you do 88kg, you get 2 sets of 8 and 2 set of 7 right?

this is your platue?

do 88kg for 2 sets.

then wait 3 minutes and do the last set.

problem solved.

your platue isn't really a platue of strength, it's more about recovery in between sets.

just rest more man.... you're at home anyway, not like someones going to come up and ask if you've finished curling in the squat rack.

other choices.

reduce the weight to 80kg and do 10-12 reps

increase the weight to 90 and do 5 reps

increase it to 100 and do 1 or 2 reps.

then after a few weeks go back to 88kg and do 3 x 8 with your designated rest times (which you seem to find important)

The designated rest times are only "important" because I like to not be in the gym foreve. 60-70mins is already enough, I'd be happier with 50-60 which I'd say is do-able with that different routine as there's less time wasted moving plates.

I can work around the bench "plateau" so to speak, but it'll all go out the window next week when I give this different routine a whirl, even if it turns out not to be for me, still better than lifting zero.

Curling in the squat rack, god damn lol that comes up in every pet peeves at the gym thread ever.

Seems there's more issues with the routine that just my recovery times, so I'll mix it up and try some new things, I'm old enough now that if I go a bit backwards in numbers for a bit that's fine with me.

I train at home too mate.

Here is what I have.

1 x shitty "ol Rusty" power cage.

1 x budget olympic barbell

1 x shitty adjustble bench (this is really shitty and will be replaced with a simple flat bench soon)

Lots x weight plates of varying sizes.

all sits outside under the patio.

All get used and abused nightly.

If there is an exercise that I can do on there, it's not worth doing.

No dumbbells, no cables, no bros.

That routine that Brids pasted is one that Markos put together as a "beginners program" some years back.

nothing magical about it. MATE where is this?? hehe.

What approach are people taking to deloading in terms of frequency.

I always get sucked into thinking one more session then I'll take a break but it never happens.

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
