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?

Edited by GHOSTrun

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.

spot on.

Jack might be strong, but he looks like shit. IMO.

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.

Dave Tate - Elite powerlifter, carrying some fat...

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+)

Another example, Lee priest fat (off season), and in season (cut) comparison

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
