No Crust Racing

You forgot the 4wd skid pan space and the bin to pour money into before the finish.

Believe me I know all about the shit you get if you are too vain, another reason I toned it down so much, that and growing up. Sif post pics of unhappy GF in thread with you lot. Attend DECAs etc, she comes to pretty much most of them when I go and will be in heaps of photos, though she won't be at this one sorry guys. Birds I wondered that one before, but resolved myself to fact that the product would have specifics about mixing if it was detrimental to its effectiveness.

I tried that and many other things... Dunno how I fagged it up, but anyway.

WTF, what dark wizardry is required to embed youtube clips these days?

This will be epic. Example? http://www.youtube.com/embed/HPh90yNX-mY

Won't be hard, I heard he only has one hand and the other is a pirate hook.

God I love the trash talk. Was a smart move selling the R Leon, ended up with me having a house, an OK daily and a track car instead and a full license and all my limbs + the ability to walk = good times. I have plans to get another but I just can't afford a 34 right now so that will have to wait and the S13 can get molested instead.

Pfft shows what you know, sold it to save my license. Had 1 point left. Most def bringing helmet, and after 350rwkw GT-R flying finish I must remain seated for a short period...

I've owned one of each and GT-R pwns GTS-T so EAD and PS I'm calling shotgun in the 1GAYTY at some stage.

I'm sure I make it sound very one sided. She doesn't like big muscly guys or the attitude that many of them have so I'm guessing she's reacting that way because she thinks that's where I'm headed back to.

No back pain from concentration curls that I have found, back got tender a bit when building the weight on squats and SLDL and beginning to go ass to grass in the squats also + doing bent over barbell rows but I felt that was to be expected somewhat and it's not a compounding discomfort if you get me, it's gone before the next session.

This is Ash we're talking about, I'm not sure I'd have a choice 0_0

How is that going to help though, sure it means both sides are doing the same amount but it still means the left side is weaker and the right side is not being pushed as much. I might just have to start using my left arm for more things so it's getting used throughout the day more. I'll add the planking for now, I'm not sure my back would enjoy reverse crunches at the moment with squats, deadlifts, and barbell rows putting some strain through it, it's pretty weak. Cheers for the ideas.

Good to see a few GT-Rs on the roster, I'm gonna have to sleeze a ride or two and get my fix. I'm sure Ash won't mind the male company...

Was talking about this with a long time female friend who had this to say. "You can get a tad obsessed with things" Which is her nice way of saying Kate is right I think lol But anyway, See last line of my last post

LOL I think that's what she thinks goes on in here Nick, though she has met a few SAUers at DECA and that was all good, she gets along with the likes of Leon and Campbell just fine (even when tanked)so she's no nose up bitch. She's been by my side for 5 years and I'm not exactly the worlds finest specimen in many respects. It's a positive thing yes and she likes that I respect myself and won't let myself go but at the same time she's seen how self involved I was back in the day and I'm still fairly eco-centric, I like the idea that this is my life and ultimately I should be happy and will do what I want (within reason of course, things like monogamy or stupid financial decisions are not an issue). She is far more selfless than I am and while she looks after herself, would never be called vain or self absorbed by me or any of her friends. She dislikes that attitude so some of it will be reacting to seeing what she perceives as that behaviour from me. Anyway, enough of that days of our lives bs.

Not much to explain really, she thought taking topless photos to post online to a bunch of guys I don't know to talk about my gut was weird/obsessive as none of you are experts(her words but true none the less) and she has already told me that she thinks it's an inner abdominal strength/posture issue so in her mind that should be enough (more on that below) She was very uncomfortable with the idea, I would assume partly because she thinks I'm focusing on it too much. I explained that, like my car, when I'm not 100% sure about something I post online and get a range of opinions, think about it, apply what I think might work, report back for the good of the forum etc. I don't take the first opinion thrown at me a gospel, including hers. I'm not fat or out of shape but the fact that I'm putting in more time and effort lately (session is now up to 60mins instead of the 40 it used to be) to strengthen my legs/back fix my shoulder rounding etc and have started taking a supplement again, for recovery, makes her think I'm going to go back to how I used to be before we got together when I was exercising 5 times a week, eating more strictly and doing things like wearing really tight shirts and making sure I had a quick exercise session to get a nice pump on before heading out for a night on the town. I was THAT guy and she didn't really dig it. I am not that guy anymore for a number of reasons, largely because secondary muscle group injuries and overtraining etc put a stop to it, but I think she takes my increased interest and focus as signs I am going to be or want to be that guy again. As I said, wasn't worth the hassle so I didn't bother posting the pics. In the end happy wife happy life was more important and I pick my battles so to speak as does she so when she really flares up about something I know it matters to her as she lets a lot of other things slide. She is the type of person who will do all the cooking and cleaning while I prep the car if a track day is coming up, including making the lunches for the day, packing the eski and chairs etc. That said, my question about curls still stands.

Looks like I'm at least in for Passenger duties and a few beverages afterwards. See you chumps there.

No pics, GF was not impressed when I took them and went to put them up last night, showed her Birds gut pic and Joe's before/afters but didn't matter and wasn't worth the hassle. Will add some planking and try to keep posture good, after reviewing the pics myself I do not think fat is the issue, it's an abdominal wall/posture thing from being an office slacker. Also, I've noticed on concentration curls that my right arm is going along ok completing 3x8 reps at a given weight but my left is starting to fag out around the 5-6rep mark on the third set. I realise we generally have a stronger side but how do people go about minimising this and evening up the strength of both sides? Extra set on the left? More weight less reps on the left to force it to jump up a notch in strength which would then see it able to drop down to the weight of the right side but complete the reps?

Had a look at my "angle" last night, I don't think that's a huge part of it but when I take pics I'll try and take one showing the two points in question and you can see angle for your selves. Don't worry Birds, I didn't think you meant pull up with the neck, I've done ab work for ages and learned long ago not to pull in that way, good for others reading who might not know that though.

As per my other thread, due to SFA leg work I am actually very top heavy which is part of the reason I do crunches and not full sit ups (that and protecting my back) I literally roll backwards lol, like a turtle. Off home now, catch tomorrow.

Nick I thought that adding weight and doing lower reps would make the muscle bigger, I don't to exacerbate the protruding look issue. Was under the impression that for abs reps were OK as tone is more the goal (in my case). Also interesting vid. You will all see what I mean when I post some pics, prolly Wednesday Night/Thursday morning, the most likely culprit is I'm just holding too much fat in the mid section due to my dietary choices.

I can forgive that as he used "you're" correctly and that made me happy. Son I am proud.
