Good evening all,

I was bored last night and during my channel surfing I come across tapout xt on the infomercial channel. It seems to be a cardio/ resistance type workout and was just curious if anyone has tried it. I also found some info on the rushfit workout as well so I thought I would mention it. I am a bit hesitant with everyone watching me at the gym while I die attempting some of there cardio workouts and thought maybe it would help enough to start out on. ( especially when I can get both cheap as ) Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks All

I understand that rev. When I first started going to the gym my heart rate was 160 at about 6.5 km/ph on the runner. In the time at the gym I can now run 2 kms in under ten minutes as a warm up before I hit the weights. I have also stopped eating pretty much simple carbs as my diet pretty much consists of oats in the morning with a protein shake than chicken and brown rice for smoko lunch and pre gym snack ( sometimes with semi dried tomatoes and feta ) than after workout I will have a protein shake and than dinner which usually consists of sweet potato chicken/steak/kangaroo and lots of veges . Only on leg day will I have some potato after a workout as I usually am very wobbly afterwoulds with tea. I usually have one coffee in the morning with one sugar and occasionally a can of Pepsi max during the day.

Ok that sounds like it's healthy and all good changes for the long term. You body composition will gradually change to reflect what you are now doing.

In terms of matching your requirements , it's about how much. So how much rice and how much chicken vs your requirements.

Plenty of people do similar to yourself and find changes are small and slow. If you are eating relatively large portions or too small it stalls progress.

Have you done a basic portion vs marco check?

How lean do you want to be and when are you wanting that to happen by?

Building muscle AND dropping significant fat is a challenge:

a) Because it's suibjective

b) Because the rates and potential are genetic (also see above)

c) Because packing on lots of muscle at the same time as dropping body fat is much harder than doing just one of them. Requires more commitment.

Rush Fit and Tapout infomercials feature the usual people who built muscle in the gym then did it for cardio. The lean bit they got from the kitchen.

I have had a look at iifym and derived a sort of basis. I have a bowl of oats for breakie than breakup half a chicken to be divided into 3 meals and same as for a packet of brown rice ( I think 250mg divided into 3 ). I use the microwaveable packs as they just so convienent and than for tea I usually try have a good size of protein ( 250-350 gram steak or chicken etc) I am currently sitting 78 kilos and am 170 cm tall. I usually go to the gym 3-4 times a week. Ultimately I would like to grow some size but lower my body fat

To be honest rev I don't really have an answer. All I know is when I look in the mirror I'm not happy . All I do know is I want to get abs I can see ( I have about an inch of fat hiding over my lower abs and about half an inch of fat over my middle ones as well as increase my puny arms and generally increase muscle all over. I know I have made gains in the 8 months I have been doing this as I have built up to 3 sets of 80 kilos at 6 reps each. When I first started I couldn't do that at 60kg

You need to 'quantify' those goals. Numbers. Size measurements . You can go with waist measurement for example. Be realistic.

Seeing abs is one thing , however , if you have never seen them before your expectations are based on unknown. This leads to dissapointment.

Takes time to get lean, takes time to get fat. Be realistic but, commit to things that can be measured. The subjective puts you in danger of image issues even when you have achieved alot.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
