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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
