It's not necessarily cutting out...I don't agree with cutting anything out, or "diets" so to speak. It's just increasing intake of certain foods :)

Balanced is definitely a good thing.

mate, you should try crossfit.com

I'm hooked.

some of the stuff is fcking insane though. Love it!!

If you can carry you shopping your not buying enough food. If you cannot carry your shopping your not lifting enough. And go.

lol... if you want to add muscle get lots of protein and BCAAs... carbs don't grow muscle proteins do... carbs feed the muscle with energy... you don't need to carb load... the only time you should be eating simple carbs is before during and after an intense workout... otherwise you should be eating complex carbs in whole foods (veggies, salad etc)

Hanaldo mate salad is carbs... Milk and nuts aren't carbs so to speak... nuts are fat, but good fat so eat lots of them... Milk is high in protein so also good for bulking... but it all depends on your body type

have a protein shake before bed is good as it keeps your metabolism running while your asleep... no need to have a high carb shake tho... even just a glass of milk is good, chuck some milo in it if you want

you want to add quality bulk... not a bunch of fat... you might be able to get away with eating heaps of simple carbs (starchy food like pasta, potatoes etc) if your an ectomorph (hard gainer) or your working out very intensely and frequently

I am indeed an ectomorph. I once weighed 63-64kg at the same height (6'3").

I agree that beginners should build up a solid base before they turn towards advanced techniques designed to break through a plateau.

I had plateaued on the scales...I wanted to be heavier because I always felt like a lightweight, so I took the shortcut of bulking instead of trying to build lean muscle and slowly gaining weight that way. I gained muscle from doing it, but I also copped some fat due to the extra food and the cessation of my cardio. It goes hand in hand with that style of bulking.

In retrospect it wasn't the best idea, particularly when my pants became a bit tight (this is worrying). But now that I've cut down the food and am back onto cardio, I've trimmed most (if not all) of the extra fat off. The results are pretty good and I don't regret it. People have told me that I look bigger than before the bulk (hard to trust gym junkies, sometimes they just talk shit), and yet I've got most (if not all) of my old tone back now. Life is good!

how heavy are you now? i is jealous... I haven't been 64kg since high school... even at my fittest in my early 20's I was 70kg... and I'm 5'10" in shoes lol

i feel guilty when I eat a potato... its hard not drinking as well... i love beer too much :cheers:

my old man just did another PT seminar... which sucks because he comes back with all new weird and painful shit to make me do

Yeah all my mates in Defence are into it in a big way, they tell me its the more gruelling/punishing thing they've done and are much stronger because of it. But not neccesarily bigger - more core/base than anything else.

These guys do stuff like illegal boat boarding parties etc etc so they live in the gym anyway but say it's better.

Once i get some base fitness going i'll be getting into it too i reckon :)

84/85 at the moment. I got to 88/89 when I was bulking up, starting at about 80. Loved being a heavier kunt, but I did not like the jeans being tight or the slight roll of fat on my stomach! My friend is 70kg at about your height and he is a very fast runner...I'm jealous of his speed...makes me want to lose more weight to get quicker running times, but I love the gym / muscle too much. On the flip side, I now love running too much to want to get bigger at the gym. Gotta strike a balance between it :)

What do you weigh at the moment?

Oh, nice! This section should get some decent attention straight off the bat!

I'm considering buying some near-new K2 inline skates (roller blades, yo) from the dude sitting next to me here at work. Barely ever used them, and I used to LOVE blading. I can certainly remember how good of a workout it is, that's for sure!

In other news, I'm sitting around 87.5/88kg at the moment...Thought I'd drop now that I'm playing footy again, but managing to maintain around that weight. Carrying a little bit of fat, but nothing I can't lose in a month or so when I decide to clean up the eating..

approx 87kg... could do to lose 5kg of fat though... you love running!? I don't mind sprinting but running is boring as hell

yeah when I was 70kg I was super quick... played pretty serious basketball as a a point guard... our team went on a trip to San Fran to play a tournament and I was the only guy on our team quick enough to guard the black guys... the cliche of african americans being 'explosive and athletic' is 100% true

we do a crossfit kinda workout on sat mornings (weights, sprints, kettlebells, medicine balls etc etc)... its much harder than a straight up weight training session... TBH I kinda hate it but do it anyway

Dezz who you play for?

Dare say he means they board illegal boats entering our waters in order to detain the people on them..

You always understand me :wub:

But ye, thats what i mean. Intercepting illegal fishing boats, drug runners, "refugees" etc.

Gotta be in pretty good condition for that kinda shit, gets pretty full on im told.

That's pretty solid for your height!

Yer I love it. The endorphins going through your head when you get back from a full pelt run are better than any drugs lol. Always trying to beat my last time, so I guess I don't find it boring because I'm always concentrating on breathing and trying to squeeze out every last bit of energy to get a better time.

No idea on the model sorry, I'll chuck up pics tomorrow when he brings them in to show me/I buy them if they fit.

Oh I geddit now! lol. Cousin used to do that in the Navy, reckons it was a blast! Though yes it does get full on from what he was telling me, gotta be ready to jump on the boat with your gear and assert yourself for an extended period of time.

yeah that's the key, having a measure so you can always push to get faster, make a game out of it

I'm not built for jogging... sprinting yes... long distance... ahhh no... maybe if I lost about 10kg!

yeah fairly solid... I never fit into shirts unless they're custom made, my neck is a full size bigger than the rest of me so I can never get the button done up lol... and I have relatively short arms... my bro in law who trains with me calls me T Rex... he reckons that's why I can lift more cos I don't have to move it as far lol

nice Dezz, haven't heard of them but that doesn't mean much... heaps of respect for footy players and the fitness/toughness you need

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
