My advantage of being a diabetic is that I can actually figure out how many grams of carbs I'm ingesting. For eg. my body utilises 1 unit of insulin = 7.5g of carbs. When I have 1 full cup of oats with water I use 4 units of insulin to bring my blood glucose levels bang in the middle optimum range. When I ate a large pizza, I had to use 12 units of insulin which = 90g of carbs (basically the bread). Now 4 slices of burgen bread = 4 units (30g carbs) which equates to 1 cup of oats. Who needs to calorie count when I can calculate it dead on based on my body :)

As a laugh, I had a tiny slice of cheese cake and needed 6 units of insulin (45g). Crazy empty calories from that, not to mention the fats lol

As for fats, I loaded up on peanut butter & brazil nuts and minimised cheese, and red meats (was eating it 4 times a day at one stage) since my LDL cholesterol was at 3.8mmol/L and HDL at 2.7 mmol/L.

Leesh, anyone that wants.

Powerlifting men dont do them, unless Max is punishing one, the girls love them, but only Nina from the competing girls does them

Remember most of my clients just train to get strong and fit

A fireman that trains here goes very well on them.

Farkin firemen...some of those guys are seriously fit.

At my dad's old gym (Markos, you may or may not remember Findlays in Hawthorn/Camberwell), that I used to muck around at when I was a kid, there were some properly strong guys there. One was a fireman who did nothing but squat, all day everyday. He was about 6'5 and a judo champion of some sort. In short, you couldn't have paid me to pick a fight with him. Had a fantastic figure!

Kind of miss that gym...it had 30 year old homemade ball dumbells and old school machines with chains. Only two treadmills and no one used them lol

Findlays was THE gym back in the day. Most aspired to go train there.

My fireman, lets call him David, squats 180, benches 140 and deadlifts 220, around 96kg, very fit. Technique on the lifts is gym quality, bum up on bench etc

He has nearly completed DEATH WISH II

Thrusters - 20kg x 15

Cannonballs - 32kg x 15

UDL- 64kg x 15

C&P - 16kg x 15

Swings - 24kg x 15

2 circuits non stop, thats 150 reps

I encourage everyone to do one. The most common excuse is "I'm going to wait till I get stronger"

Heres a clue, no ones going to stop getting stronger to wait for you lol. History has shown me the guys that get in earliest progress much quicker. Thats how Liam, my 15yo now, deadlifted 200kg at 14 as well as squatting 170kg, at 82kg.

Conor is the same, started at 14, did a novice comp very early, now at 17 and 88kg, squats 240, benches 125 and deadlifts 245

Its not a spectator sport, no one got stronger watching

Since doing a Novice comp in 2011, this is how Conors progress has gone

3/12 - Vic States - [email protected] class

6/12 - Nationals - [email protected] class

9/12 - Worlds - [email protected] class

3/13 - Vic States - 570kg@90kg class

6/13 - Nationals - 605kg@90kg class

He squatted 130kg at his first comp, and 2 years later squatted 240kg, by the time he was 17

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
