but your not doing it any good by coming across arrogant and dismissive of everyone who doesn't subscribe to the same ideals

I apologies to all, I am working on my e-tone. So used to just being direct with what I think it does come across in an unpolite manner.

Both of those guys are standing next 16yo girls...I didn't comment on size because I have no metrics or real comparisons. Why don't you compare their arm and chest sizes to some bodybuilders, think you'll find it's not that special. Physiques like that are a dime a dozen in America. To me it seems like you are more impressed by the vascularity, waxed chest and tan....

Both girls were over 18 when the photo was taken some years ago now. He was ~100kg, no more than 5 ft 10. Sorry I didn't ask him for his chest/arm measurements.

His physique is far more impressive than yours.

Your problem is that you're so caught up in your own training methods that you literally can't accept that there's more than one way to train.

It's obvious to everyone else in here that he has a great physique, but the PTC clan couldnt bring themselves to admit that someone who uses isolation training has achieved great results

Dezz, what drugs are you smoking? I never made any comparrison about my physique to his. I never said he did not have a great physique.

I said his diet must be very clean to get that lean, never made mention of size until you brought it up. Read what I am actually writing not what you think I am writing.

My guess is diuretics or his diet must be pretty farkin clean to get bodyfat down that low. But alas the internet Dezz could post anything and without a shred of proof it isn't worth jack..

PTC is a gym / franchise of gyms. I wouldn't say that PTC as such believe isolation training is useless, where is that stated?

The only person who can really speak on behalf of PTC is the owner, Markos.

Ghosty is not the owner.

Ghosty - let it go.

If you got this involved in every discussion you'd have a stroke.

Birds is Birds.

just let it go.

you don't have to agree with him or what he does/says.

If he trains for a look then who cares.

If you train to be strong then who cares.

You coming in to here to have this discussion is like a skyline fanboi going over to rex net to discuss why RBs are better than EJs.

It will change nothing and will just be a waste of keystrokes.

People who want to train for strength will seek the powers of google and find the likes of Starr or Rippetoe etc.

People who want to train for bodybuilding will do the same and find appropriate material.

People who want to go to the gym to look lean and AFL player like will do whatever it is that they need to do to look that way.

LET IT GO...

Lifting on Monday night?

I'm going to test my lifts for the CAPO deadlift comp.

Should be there at about 7-7:30

This is Jack, 20yo and less than 18 months TOTAL training time.

170kg bench press

245kg squat

250kg deadlift

When he started training he wieghed 110kg, he now weighs 150kg. body BUILDING.

His progress and training is documented in his training log - http://prorawpowerlifting.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=training&action=display&thread=20

He's built more muscle in the space of 18months than this whole forum put together, wasn't from doing cable flys....

I just find it really interesting that so many people on here have no interest in getting stronger along the road to improving their physique, it's like saying you're going to clean up the oil mess from leaking gaskets in your car but not going to change them while you're at it.

Most of you think I only lift to get strong, couldn't be further from the truth. I want to get bigger and have an awesome physique. To do this it requires lots of eating, sleeping, and time spent lifting weights. What do you think stimulates more growth, 20kg dumbbell curls or squatting 300 pounds for reps?

Keep in mind your definition of "awesome physique" is very different to everyone else. Personally, while your mate Jack is a f**king monster and has done well - I don't ever want to look like that. There isn't much definition, and to be honest he looks like he's just a giant.

No but I can tell from the training logs. Muscle lifts weight, not much weight being lifted on here, sorry.

ahh, but an overgrown lump of meat doesn't attract the ladies. Herein is where our problem lies.

And if jack decides to cut down one day? Gets down to single digit bodyfat? That'll leave him anywhere from 110-120kg at less than 10% bodyfat, pretty farken huge.

You guys need to realise how you look is largely defined by what you eat.

Decided to lean down for shits and giggles, look at all the muscle revealed underneath the fat:

(his pecs look funny because they've been torn a number of times, it's what can happen when you bench 700lbs+)

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Butters · Posted

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Degzy · Posted

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
