hahaha, nice!

Nice Birds! I suck at Bench. So I tend to do it at home where no-one can laugh at me, 'matrix style'. Mainly volume, 5-sets (of 5x full reps, 5xhalf-up, 5xhalf-down, 5x full reps), with a short 20sec break after the 20 reps..... Stupid gogoGadget arms. At the gym I use the free weight machines for chest stuff. Its all Panatta equipment, very very expensive stuff. Italian, designed by an Ferrari engineer. http://www.panattasp...com/en/home.asp at Southbound http://www.southboun...m.au/about.html Works for me so thats ok. Owner recently spent a couple hundred thou on new equipment. Pretty awesome gym, everyone who goes (bar me, lol) is massive! Marc, I use Scivation Extend (lemon flavour) during workout, and generally add a small amount to my water during the day afterwards. Full of bcaa's and electrolytes without sugar, pretty much a healthy alternative to Gator/Powerade. I dont recommend much, but I do like this stuff. That and Im enjoying Max's Cookies & Cream protein shake (so nice!!!!) with my Bcaa mix & creatine.

the missus put me onto it, lol. hadnt heard of it until last week makes sense tho.

Yeah I would have gone in today, at 45 degrees, but got the kids to think about. Tomorrow should be cooler for them to hang around while I do my thing.... Its good isnt it Troy, you feel pretty rooted after your cool shower tho.

Cheers Geoff (& Andrew, lol)

Scandy - glamped refers to glamourous camping, which is the best description for tenting in a caravan park (ie toilet & shower facilities). Imo that's not camping, but rather glamping. It's only camping when you've got to dig a hole for 'sitting' on. Now.... Swisse advert on tv with Ponting batting in the nets. What's the song?

Feeling massive today Weird considering I had stuff all energy during yesterday's session (in 40deg heat)

Yes I've got one, as you know Terry. It's a very good read....helpful

U just jelly

ha! my g/f 14yr daughter doesnt stop taking selfies. Crazy girl! whereas I refuse to do photos fullstop.

yeah I want to get to the gym as well. Far too much good food and wine with little exercise. But..... bloody well shagged my left knee joint after it collapsed on me, twice. Hopefully just a cruciate strain or small tear, but cant tell at the moment. Might head in anyway and try some upperbody stuff. Just dont want to stand up much atm.

Oh no. Shocked to hear this.Thoughts go to family & loved ones......... From someone who's been too close to the edge for far too long but has turned it around; if you EVER need to talk to someone Im a good ear, can help, and keep everything private.

Meh. Prefer a redhead with a clean canvas, just quietly Better smash out a decent matrix set at home (bench, bi's & tri's) prior to Xmas family duties in the morning to counteract all the Xmas lunch goat. Yes, goat......

was looking good, before I *had to sell it

Ive got a S1 C34 cargo net Id be happy to sell? Is that what you mean?

just put in Royal Purple last weekend myself. Never going to a mechanic for a service with 'supply-my-own' oil again Id rather do the basics here at home, ie oil, filters, sparkies, brake pads, and leave the timing & dyno tune to the experts

thx Aaron!! appreciated. must get a quote.....

who would you go to (down south) for rust repairs to doors under mirrors?

Splitfire coilpack died on me. Eventually require 1x replacement, to suit RB25 series 2 (turbo). If you've got one to sell PM me in the new year ? Cheers

Creatine - Ive had since start of the year Ammino mix - will last a year (10g per shake makes 200 shakes!), and for the bulk size thats pretty cheap in all honesty Protein powder - IMO you're crazy NOT to take that shit post-workout, plus the cookies & cream is like a party in my mouth but you're all not on the vip list (sorry!) Multi V's - Ive always taken them the rest isnt needed granted; snake oils* thought Id try the toco-8 and zma tho as a once-off. you all jelly at my knees of fury & not needing to squat - that must be it. =p as for cost, ebay is your friend

No; never!! - my 2kg AA mix will last a year, and cost something like $96 all up I dont see the issue - protein, bcaa, creatine, vitamins......

yeah I know bulk buy of the AA's is actually cheap in all honesty, 2+kg was $~90 and it'll last aaaagggggeeees. Mixed in one big tub. protein and creatine is as it should be. the tabs? well, ..... taking them "just because I can" - the iron, zma and toco8 is because I reckon my testosterone levels are low due to a number of reasons. - multi V's 'cause I think its better to take one then not - Nitromine, well Im a sucker snake oils!!! * the glycerol is meant to help get the protein/aminos into the muscles? ... "taking glycerol in supplemental form quickly improves hydration and the absorption of other supplements that are taken with it."

Protein, creatine & BCAA's are what its all about Using Max's supersize protein 5kg 3-flavour pack (cookies & cream is SO awesome!!), with milk Some sort of ebay creatine powder And my 2kg amino acid mix from Mr.Supps, consisting of: - 100g D-aspartic acid - 250g beta alanine - 250g L-tyrosine - 250g creatine - 250g L-carnitine - 250g L-glutamine - 250g L-leucine - 250g glycerol Plus take multi vitamins, iron tabs, ZMA tabs, and a little bit of Toco-8 powder in my post-shake with a tablespoon of the AA mix Found Double-T Sports Nitromine (360 tabs - pretty much amino acid tablets) for $9 a bottle from Supplements Direct (usually $90! wtf??) so I grabbed a few bottles of that with the Toco-8 snake oils. meh. Ive got no problem taking plenty of amino acids, more is > than none

doubled up with a track (Age of Love) on #6 & 7 - doh!!
