  3. lol fk waxing your cruise liner by hand again
  4. Maybe top gear can do a test where they get a few different four wheel drives to run over motorbikes and measure their 0-100...my money is still on the SRT Cherokee.
  5. With their prior behavior and bashing the Prius who was merely in the middle of the road too, I think it's safer to assume that the RR, who unlike the Prius, actually connected with one of their bikes (through fault of the idiot who slammed brakes on in front of him IMO)...would have been getting threatened by them. I doubt they'd have just been sitting there staring in shock or waving their index fingers like a parent, given what they were shown capable of earlier. The whole pack were looking back at him in the vid; it wasn't some flash mob pose designed to freak people out, or that was their designated meeting point...shit was going down. I'm with Hamish, no one is without guilt, including the RR driver. Everyone acted pretty stupidly, but it's hard to say you wouldn't do what the RR did yourself and the bikers started a hell of a lot of it. There's a reason they pulled all their bonus DVD deleted scenes footage down. And on the non-legal, common sense / self preservation side of it...the bikers who got run over brought knives to a gun fight. The only way the RR was capable of running them down is if they were parked in front of it, blocking it on the shitty assumption that it will never choose to run them down. This was the mentality of the brake checker and any bike sitting in the path of the RR. Like an arrogant pedestrian stepping out in front of a car, who thinks just because the law is on their side and no one wants to knowingly hit someone with a car, they will be fine...dumb assumption to rely on in a situation where your mates pressure a 2 tonne vehicle into taking the path of least resistance and you happen to be standing in that path. As you can see, there's a bitch in his way, that he needs to move.

  8. Yep that's true. And before anyone jumps in (because I always have to disclaimer anything I say in here), I'm not saying that doing 1RM at the end of your volume training is the best way to increase your strength. The traditional method is to do your heavy singles after a warm up and then follow up with your volume training .
  9. Due to muscles tiring* No I didn't say anything about it being a testament to true strength. All I said was, if you can do a 1RM after your volume training, you can do it at any time on and given day, even if you feel sick, when you haven't had the volume training to tire you out first. Of course I believe your 1RM will be higher before volume training. Rather than contradicting myself, I was actually pointing out the contradiction that you thought I had made: people say that volume is completely unaffected by doing 1RM prior to it, but that 1RM is affected by volume prior to it. I argue that you can't have one and not the other.
  10. Same, my +35rwkw midrange was at the same boost as 98. All in the timing freedom.
  11. 1000 injectors will be plenty; they should be capable of 500rwkw+ in a 6 cylinder application.
  12. Just keep a couple of empty jerry cans and a siphon with you, so you can drain the tank of ethanol at the servo if you have to. Or better yet, plan the trip better. But they can tweak your 98 map to accept a bit of ethanol; should be fine anyway.
  13. I'll field this one. That's a good question rev. We do it for three reasons, that some may not agree with, but we believe in:1. Walking the talk at any time on any day. If we can lift our max at the end of our volume training, we can do it on any given time of any given day after a quick warm up, if you want the bragging rights. Leesh proved this by doing 45kg the other day after her warm up, because she wanted to know if she could still lift at that weight - she did it with ease because her volume training, despite lower weights, supports it. You can train to comfortably lift a given weight without ever having lifted it before - 1RM calculators are based on this. It's not always the most efficient way to get there, but it can't be said that it doesn't work. 2. Mental reward and preparedness for the lift. We "earn" our 1RMs by slogging through our volume first. To us, a 1RM is merely a few kg more on the bar for only a single repetition, rather than a huge step up from a warm up. Mentally, this makes the 1RM seem inconsequential and easy. If you haven't trained this way before, it can be difficult to grasp what this does for your fighting spirit at the end of your sets. We finish on the 1RM, because we don't step back in weight unless we miss a rep, and the next time we hit the weights for volume, they suddenly feel a hell of a lot lighter in comparison. 3. Our training is focused on volume and similar to GVT principles with regard to creating hypertrophy. Outright strength and 1RM are not our priority; we are there to damage muscle and burn a shitload of calories with our volume. Our 1RM serves as a benchmark and a plateau breaker when/if we need it to increase our volume weights. I also disagree that you can do the exact same volume after attempting a 1RM straight up as you could if you left the 1RM til the end. If you can, then it likely wasn't your true 1RM, or your volume weights aren't anywhere near your 1RM weight. Muscles get tired! To me, it's a logical fallacy to suggest that a 1RM at the end of volume training isn't your true 1RM, if you're going to maintain that volume training after a 1RM is your true potential for volume too. Case in point: Leesh has made some great strength and physical gains training this way, as have I...and we continue to do so. People can knock it, but can they really say that it doesn't work for our goals if we are achieving them?
  14. $500 for the tune My engine already had the supporting mods; I had planned for ethanol eventually a long time ago. Supporting mods = basically just a big enough fuel system. 555s and a 040 will do you safely up to 300rwkw. Also, fk flex fuel. Just get tuned on United which is consistently E85 afaik. There's one in Clayton and one in Scoresby you can fill up at. Car runs beautifully; I don't even have a wide band.
  15. Still don't understand this Friday night cruise stuff? Did I miss out on a memo or is this guy imagining meet ups? Would also say the same stuff face to face, but hey, the people I hang out with have a sense of humour lol You make it sound like we assaulted your mother.
  16. It seems to me the easier option straight up if you already have the supporting mods. Then if it's still not what you want, upgrade turbo and you're already on E85
  17. She is her own harshest critic, but she does notice some of the improvements physically and strength wise; she gets excited when she pushes out an extra chin up; things like this are always great for me as her offshore, 3000km away trainer. On the chin up note, I think she went from 2 to 10 in the space of a month! But as we all agreed after seeing her pics, she really has nothing of substance to complain about. A very sexy lady indeed!
  18. Actually, Dan, that's exactly what I told her when she first complained about the program not working or her supposedly looking worse. I said if the short term sacrifice is too hard for you, then go back to your cardio heavy, 6 day a week routine...I won't hate you for it as long as you are doing what makes you happy. The problem is, when Leesh first came to me she said she wanted less body fat and more noticeable abs. Now the way I see it there are 4 ways to achieve a lower body fat than what she had, given she is a vegetarian and was already eating fairly healthily. 1. You can starve yourself on a diet of only protein, with a severe calorie deficit that leaves you looking anorexic. 2. You can start training for marathons, running super long distances and losing both fat and muscle. You will look shredded and you will also look like a strong gust will make life difficult for you. 3. You can train heavy with HIIT, which will burn more calories than the cardio she was doing and build/retain muscle. 4. Birds will give you a program to build functional and body shaping muscle that burns the calories even when you're not gyming; that act as catalysts to dietary changes, where even cutting out one regular food item can make a difference to body fat. Obviously I set Leesh up on the fourth path, informing her that she may gain some fat initially when we up her food intake to feed her progress and development of muscle. 6 months later, she had gained very little, if any fat, in spite of me docking her total exercise from 12 hours a week to 6; strength training is catabolic people!; I posted pictorial evidence of this. She was also twice as strong on nearly every exercise. Now last I saw Leesh there are noticeable changes to her physique, particularly her legs which have some really nice quad shape to them now. She has definitely put on some muscle, which is a great thing, as it means more calories are going to get burned up both in the gym and in a resting state...so when she decides to hop onto a cutting diet...she will have less body fat than she's ever had before. Simples! We are nowhere near finished yet, before I give her permission to start cutting. I want a fair bit more muscle on her before we look to restricting the diet in favour of losing body fat. For now I want the calories helping her in the gym and she is doing great on that front. From memory I wanted a 60kg bench, a 100kg squat and a 120-130kg deadlift out of her before I allow her first cut. We don't train for outright strength; volume is more important to us, but benchmarks are a good measure of anything.
  19. Get E85
  20. Try Rajab mate master

  22. Feel for that guy and I do believe the Range Rover driver was in the wrong when he ran over all the bikes. Bit silly of them to say "let's not get the story confused", though, when they are guilty of doing that too...the first biker brake checked the Range Rover which was a dumb thing to do. I've had a bike do that to me before; slammed his brakes on in front of me and looked pissed off when my car hit his rear wheel...what the fk did he expect to happen!
  23. Friday night?
  24. Honestly, I expected better from a Rajab customer. The calibre of those seeking the wisdom and spiritual nirvana of the one...the master...is usually of a much higher standard!
  25. At first I was all But then I was all
