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 have been going to the gym for about 8 months and trying to build muscle however I am short and stocky and i want to get more definition. Basically I wanna drop fat and build muscle which I am having trouble doing. I am seriously thinking about giving this a go to drop the body fat than go back to the gym

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.

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
