I recall looking into this when it last came up. Came across a "story" written by a guy who consumed what he feared to be a large amount (I think it was like ~400g/day), and when he spoke to his doc about it he was advised it was high but acceptable, for his size (he was like 200lbs built I think). The article then went on to explain how your body handles excess mercury etc which was pretty interesting

I do recall a few years ago of some athlete who ate a lot of tuna and having higher than norm mercury levels. I say it would have to be an isolated case. Well hoping anyways... I eat the best " John west " lol

Not me, I eat shitty Coles brand tuna and it tastes like ass to be honest. Meh, I eat tuna for the brotein, not the taste.

Well looks like I'll stick with my "2 cans of tuna a day routine" then haha :)

The trick is to time your purchase of tuna for specials...JW/Greenseas usually $1 a can at either woolies or Coles.

Or buy 4 pack of JW/Greenseas, which works out 1.50/can.

Yep, saw that come on sale right after I purchased 24 cans of Coles tuna. FML.

Hahahaha bad mistake

I gave the Coles tuna a go the other day, lemon and pepper

It tasted like a lemon meringue, disgusting

Yep, worse even was that I threw the receipt in the bin and couldn't exchange them for the JW ones :(

I made that mistake once, so I jsut stick to springwater now. There's an old saying about not being able to polish a turd..... hahaha

Give the JW or Greenseas lemon and pepper a go, it's much better. Hot chilli is good too but my digestive system didn't agree so no more :(

Will do mate, will keep an eye out and stock up hard when they're on sale again :cheers:

Hey guise - I don't have a build thread but I did a few measurements last night after 3+ months of solid gym work. I don't want to sound like I'm tooting my own horn too much, but I was really excited by the results; and most of my work in the gym has solely been attributed to information I've extracted from the health+wellbeing section on these forums. Much love brah's. :wub:

I started my first day weighing in at 76kg's, 174cm tall, 17.8%bf, thin, pasty, scrawny and generally weak as piss.

I started doing around 4 or 5 exercises of each upper body days, followed by lower body days, then a day off, then repeat.

For upper body:

Chest press 3x8

Shoulder press 3 x 8

Lat pull down

assisted wide grip chin ups

incline bench press

Military press

pull ups or bro curls

suicedes

rope pull for tri's/

For lower body

Squats

Deads

plate leg press

quad extension

hamstring curl

lunges

standing/seated calf raises

I would also try and do some hypertrophy stuff after each workout, mostly 30 seconds on/off on the rowing machine or spin bike. Or I'd do some sprints in the park or on the beach.

So last night, I weighed in at 78.5kg's, 18%bf, and a 7cm increase in chest width, 1cm decrease in belly circumference. 2cm gain in arms and legs.

tl:dr: Massively stoked that SAU fitness can provide excellent info. Cheers!

    • The second part yes, the first part about easy VE calculation is something I've seen a few people talk about online.
    • You 100% could do that, would save money on a gym membership lol. But yeah, getting a cordless orbital sander will feel priceless coming from doing it manually.  Good luck with it mate
    • I initially was going to do the whole car with a block then realised, it would be a bigger monster of the job 😂 I guess that's all part of the learning process. I appreciate all that advice, I think I got a good idea on how to tackle this whole job.
    • I admire your efforts with the scuff pad.  As a mere mortal, I use this for the baulk of my sanding work- https://sydneytools.com.au/product/milwaukee-m18bos125-0-18v-li-ion-cordless-125mm-5-random-orbital-sander-skin-only Yes you can easily create a low spot while sanding. There are 2 types of filler, 1 part of 2 part. The 2 part filler will get used for large corrections and the 1 part filler will get used for pin holes and areas that only need slight filling.  Depending on how zealous you are with the sander (very easy to do with a power tool) or if you are chasing rust etc, yes those low spots will need to get filled or you will end up with a very obvious defects in the paint.  Using the guide coat and large sanding block, high and low areas will be revealed (watch youtube videos for a good visual on this). Its up to you if you think its worth the effort to make the car completely flat before you spray it (you make it flat by filling the low areas).  At the end of the day, it comes down to time. The end result comes from the level of prep put in to the car. If you want a perfect result, you have to put in the time during the prep stage or else it will be impossible to achieve a perfect result during the spraying process.
