Fair enough. What works for me is BBing hypertrophy combined with an upper body an lower body strength day:

Monday - Leg Strength + Core (deads and squats)
Tuesday - Chest (hyper.)
Wednesday - Shoulders and arms (predominantly lateral and posterior delts)
Thursday - Leg Hypertrophy
Friday - Back
Saturday - Upper Body Strength

BUT, this is just what works for me right now :yes:
AND, I change this layout every 4-6 weeks depending on other factors, next could be more strength dominant

Morning brahs.

I'm going to start my first foray in to fitness, initial aim is 5-6km jogging through hiking tracks 4 nights a week followed by some at home lifting/crunches/squats etc. I've worked an office job for the last 7 years so I figure this will be a good aim for first couple of weeks.

Is there some pre/protien/mix of supplements I should be looking at to help maximize workout?

If you're not already a runner 5-6ks daily might be a stretch but your body will tell you.

Get good shoes, and I mean trail shoes likle Salomons or something with Gortex lining, not Nike's they will get shredded easily.

As for Supps, basic WPI/WPC and some creatine will likely cover off all your needs as long as you're eating a relatively decent diet.

You can assess how well you recover before deciding if you need them as you'll mainly want them for recovery given your aim is fitness and not big strength gains.

Oh and as a fellow desk jockey, you're going to want to stretch a fair bit, it will help with everything. Sitters like us tend to have poor glute/hammy/hip flexor movement.

How's your DL'ing going Birds? You had some solid momentum at one point.

Average mate, I hit a bad bout of tonsilitis / yeast infection and lost 20kg off the bar from taking a couple weeks off. It's taking significantly longer to get the strength back :(

Back on the rise again, though. I think last session I pulled 100 x 10, 140 x 8, 180 x 1, 170 x 3.

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • 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 . 
    • 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?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
