Sounds good Birds. Hope it all goes well for you mate. An old PT mate of mine stuffed a tendon in his wrist (forget the exact injury but basically sheared off the bone I believe) but it was depressing the number of exercises that ruled out. He found ways to use wraps or particular machines to work around it as much as possible until it healed up completely

With legs being such a big muscle group too I think it should help burn the calories up

I've always had decent upper legs, they would be my best body part. Have never had to do too much to them to maintain volume and they respond well for me. Whereas back , shoulders etc I seem to need to work continually to maintain any size. I'm going to focus on the calves a lot more and hope for some sort of development there. apparently for some people it doesn't seem to matter what you do they just wont respond.

I'd near say thats me, starting with match sticks certainly doesn't help though.

on the contrary, don't have to work back, shoulders, chest as much for results.

Dat feel when you see people you haven't seen for like 6 months and straight away told me I look buff/bigger and what the hell have I been doing the last 6 months, Gym!

Twas' some good extra motivation :D

finally got round to watching Bigger, Stronger, Faster the doco, not sure what the point of it was, didnt seem to have much of a conclusion either for or against steroids.

made out that all supplements are crap and a waste of money but steroids may not be as harmful as we are lead to believe.

might have missed something but yeah, thats what i took from it.

this is what good documentaries are supposed to do... present both sides of the argument and let you make an informed decision... this is what journalism was like before people lost the ability to think for themselves and only respond to sensationalism

tell me what to think so I don't have to use my brain! aaaargh

I'm surprised he could bring it up to his mouth...guy looks like he'd need someone to feed him.

Damn legs are killing me after that legs workout, but it feels great! Shows me how neglected some groups are and that isolation movements do have their place in the gym.

because they're not

Good to hear from a less Angry Birds...

Nutrition question.

If I'm looking at say Yoghurt (though question applies to anything) am I better off with the tub that has less saturated fats or less sugar per hundred grams given roughly equal protein and normal fat amounts.

Just using Yoghurt as the example but I'm trying to make better choices with my foods, especially snacks, and get caught wondering if I should be aiming for less sugars or less fats in general.

It seems you either get one or the other.

I realise it's going to be dietary specific, so I'm just talking as a general guideline.

go grab a tub of natural Greek yoghurt... it's pretty bitter so I sweeten mine with honey

don't buy diet yoghurt... they just take out the fat and replace it with sugar

fat is good... sugar is bad... mmmkay

Edited by NickR33

I was on the right track then as I've been choosing the lower sugar options.

I get the Jalna yoghurt, set in pot and far less additives.

It's fine without honey, but I do throw in some almonds.

Sounds like a good leg session

Yeah, same, his biceps are too big to bend arm at elbow

What types of post workout meals do you guys have?

Universal Torrent straight after evening workout, is higher in carbs than protein

go home to have steak and some prawns maybe, plus steamed veggies and maybe a small portion of pasta depending on what carbs I had earlier in the day.

Sounds like a good leg session

Bloody oath. Overdid the calves methinks...can't stand flat footed. Really looking forward to squatting 3-4 times a week though!

Tried an empty bench bar in the same session and it didn't present any pain...I could be back to upper body sooner than I thought :)

Playing it safe though. Do we think it's worth doing movements like bench with an empty bar for rehab? Or just wait until completely healed and get back into the weights?

No idea mate and personally I wouldn't want to offer my broscience and screw you up even more... What's the physio say?

3-4 a week for squats = sounds pretty full on! You'll be getting doms for at least a day or two after each heavy squat session yeah?

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
