Now renting a factory 2 avenues from RacePace...I feel like I should be buying a GTR to take advantage of this. Some awesome other places nearby too; industrial areas ftw

I should consider myself lucky, then, as my gym has about 10 ABC bars and 3-4 IronEdge Economy bars. The IronEdge are newer bars and the bearings seem to be more freespinning, but I still prefer the ABCs. Neither has ever seen a bend, though to be fair, I haven't seen anyone deadlift more than around 250 at my gym. Half of our gym is dedicated to free weights, the other half is Nautilus and crossfit. Not bad for a Genesis! I think it helps that it was an existing gym before Genesis bought it out. But to be fair, our latest gym manager is an ex sprinter / lifter and we've had some good strength training upgrades since. We now have a chalk bowl, which was his response to people leaving blocks of chalk everywhere, instead of just banning chalk or warning the members using it. We also have almost monthly lifting comps.

These have a mysterious habit of disappearing, else the file gets purged on a daily basis. Maybe the commissioner was looking in the regular filing cabinet that houses formal complaints for all members of VicPol, when he said no complaints had ever been made about him. Maybe he should have been looking in the 2-3 filing cabinets dedicated to the cock sucker.

Google says 3.6/5 based on 64 reviews. Meanwhile, Grill'd averages 4/5...I think I know where to send my business. Thanks Hamish

Dan you need to read things more carefully mate. I wasn't saying you should do volume training, I was saying the opposite. Boz - no, catabolic...the state that burns energy after you stop training. If strength training put you into a catatonic state then I probably wouldn't recommend it...although some of Troy's "recreational" routines can offer you this, if you desire. Leesh you and the other guys should get a petition together saying that 7-8 of you will leave if this guy has to. 1 membership means nothing to them, but that's a bad little dent in the regular memberships for them if you're all at stake. They may even realise how much more loyal the dedicated free weights people are than the cardio bunnies who swap gyms on the regular or only sign up when summer comes around. Strong people are usually OCD about lots of things, they have their routines and once they find a gym they're happy with, they will stay there for a long long time...longer than most anyway.

I did the movement for 9 years without issue; was probably the first exercise I ever did at the gym. Very important to start light though and don't go hero on it just because you can lift more - it probably needs flawless technique more than most exercises and your supporting muscles need time to build up too.

It's a game of numbers gentlemen. I drive through there 5 times a week, have done so for 3 years and only defected once, but it does eventually happen!

Fuck you, Troy. You have no idea how much I want to behind neck standing shoulder press right now and you have perfectly capable shoulders. Go press some farkin barbells!

I think he should find another gym!

More volume = more calories burned. It's one of the reasons I eat so many carbs, like a loaf of bread a day, much to Troy's heartache, and yet I'm still relatively low body fat. I push out set after set and that's my calorie burning cardio. I set Leesh up on the same volume style training - She's working out less time in the gym, but eating twice what she used to and hasn't gained any extra weight. So when you remove all that volume training from the equation, you need to account for the extra calories you're not burning. Don't get me wrong, lifting heavier also burns more calories and puts the body into a catabolic state...but the volume makes a difference. So adjust your diet accordingly...you may need to eat a bit healthier to retain a similar body fat. Other than that, all I can think is it's just your imagination that you're getting "bulky".

Hey mate... HeadSpec in Clayton do engine rebuilds and SAU Vic members get 5% off, so that's always an option if you want to sign up for club membership (discounts sometimes outweigh the costs of memberships!).

lol there's another actor who never faces te camera in his movie posters; forget who it is.

And booked in at RacePace on Tuesday for dat dere ethanol tune. Brb with awesome power or a popped engine.

You can't kill Will Smith: fact. He's a farkin cockroach. The only time he ever dies in a movie is by his own choice. But I'll accept second place.

Dan I never said anything about dropping the weight as the sets and reps go up to train for hypertrophy. Hypertrophy still requires heavy weight...you can't be pressing 50kg for 10 sets of 50 reps and expect to look huge. Look at how much the IFBB dudes are lifting...the major difference is that they spend 4-5 hours (probably more) in the gym every day, training high volume and isolating every single muscle in their body...they are certainly strong, but they're not training with outrighy strength in mind. Plus they eat absolutely f**kloads of food. The reason that would make you look smaller is because you are doing volume training which burns a lot of calories, and you are doing a light weight which the muscle does not need to be big to lift. Now if we keep that in mind, and you instead want to be strong and small...you would look towards the opposite of volume training and isolation movements. This means the major compounds, low set, low reps, heavy weight, maintenance diet...you will be as strong as you can and as small as you can be because you are limiting growth (and strength to a degree) with diet and training in a rep range that supports strength more than muscle size. Remember, the gym gives your muscles a reason to grow, food gives it the building blocks to do it. You can change variables at either end fairly easily to affect the outcome. I already told you earlier exactly how to achieve what you want, i.e. maximum strength minimum size.

My sleep has markedly improved since reducing the number of hours I sleep...used to sleep 8-9, but now accept 6-7 as the norm and I'm much better for it. Still tired as fk first thing in the morning, but during the day I feel more awake.

Krispy Kreme doughnuts taste awesome; f**k off back to your respective Starbucks / Coffee Club locations, hipsters.

Ergo, Dan, if you want strength with as little muscle size as possible, I would eat a healthy diet at maintenance or cutting level, stick to training in the ranges that target strength, and learn to deal with the fact that you will either be slogging away damn hard to make small gains over long periods of time, or eating some more food and gaining some size to break through strength plateaus easier. Personally, I would just eat...if Kate doesn't like your newfound size, it's not impossible to scale back and lose muscle. I've lost a lot of upper body size over the 4-5 months I haven't done upper body training. I've retained 85-90% of my strength, but the size has sunk (I train in hypertrophy set/rep ranges, but limit growth with food = low body fat despite a not so fantastic, carb heavy diet).

Three rules: 1. Muscles will only grow in size with more food. Now here's where it gets tricky: it can be, all other variables held constant, easier for fat people (who are probably consuming more protein and calories on the whole) to gain muscle size than skinnies, who are usually at or below maintenance and don't know the meaning of the phrase "lots of food". So body fat, to a degree, can make a difference simply because of your eating habits. 2. Putting on size with strength is, to a degree, inevitable. You can't be squatting 220kg and not have a decent set of quads to back it up. You can't be benching 150kg and not have some mean triceps. So get used to the idea that, if you want to be this strong: There is only so much a muscle can change about it's structure before it needs more size to keep up with the increasing workload. There are only so many calories your muscles can thrive off before they need more energy to push through a strength plateau. Strength gains are possible without, but difficult when maintaining the same protein and food intake (again, depends on your current diet, as per rule 1). 3. Training in certain set and rep ranges can have an impact on size and strength; hypertrophy versus strength training. There is plenty of consensus that high set, high rep workouts (along with eating lots of food) are the size builders and low set, low rep workouts are focused on strength. If you're aiming for the strength with as little size as possible, you want a powerlifting routine. Why? Look at some of the competing lifters Markos posts...now some of them a quite big, as per the second rule...but it is in these guys' interests to turn up to a competition as strong as possible, whilst staying within their designated weight class. They don't want a lot of hypertrophy, because the extra size will have them competing unnecessarily against stronger guys in the next weight class.

PayPal only...dispute/Nigeria resolution centre ftw If anyone else wants to have a shot at taking the reigns, I would be happy to donate mine + Niger-san's extradition money.

If vehicle is changing hands it needs a RWC?

Skip the RB20 and go straight for an RB25, if you're going to go to the trouble of putting an RB in. They don't cost much more and parts are easier to find. A free flowing exhaust and boost controller alone will give you the 200rwkw. With an RB20, you would be looking at a turbo upgrade + ECU + injectors to do the same safely.

Dudes I've refunded your donations for supplement research, as endless promises from testing companies saying they will get back to me with information about how to send them a sample, are getting tedious. Sorry lads, I tried Nee-san do you wanna pm me your bank details and I'll send you some monies? Cheers
