That's a good thread. Biggest agreement is keeping the routine 'basic and simple'. Srsly I have so many people saying do this, do that, should be adding these exercises etc. Honestly if I listened to everyone I'd be doing 100 different exercises a week.

The best part of that thread is in someone's signature, a quote taken from Alan Aragon:

“The fitness & nutrition world is a breeding ground for obsessive-compulsive behaviour. The irony is that many things people worry about simply have no impact on results either way, and therefore aren’t worth an ounce of concern.”

Exactly find what you want and stick to it, dont have to listen to every person thats there.

Also what weight bars are at your gyms? Are they just the 20kg weight or do they cheap out for the 15kg types?

Thank you for proving my point there, Count Calorie...

:P

Don't have much choice lol (while the weather is warm at least)...I'll either over eat and be unhappy, or drastically under eat which is even worse for my health.

Does anyone bother with pre work out boosters? Such as bsn no xplode, MP assulat, Jack3d ect.

I would advise against it. I takem them still and I dont even get the effect from them anymore, it's become a bad habit. I've actually given them to the missus so I can take a break, serious lol.

You might count calories, but you're terrible at counting years...

bahahaha yeah that'll keep happening for a couple more weeks I think....at least I haven't written 2012 when I'm dating things yet.

Yer can be addictve, ive heard of cases of that with jack3d. I may use one a week or two weeks. Thinking of getting C4 to try just todo so. I looked at this Volative but its Us only atm.

Pretty certain they are all 20kg. Haven't used a 15kg one yet!

good questions

Just want to keep in shape that's about all.

Maybe put a bit more muscle on.

You will become more picky as you go ;) You cannot simply 'keep in shape' into Mordor >.> Sense this makes none but you get my point.

I've drunk alcohol on 4 occasions this year, last one was 22nd of October. lol

I have being drunk twice last year. 21/9 for and 31/12. Used to have 4 coupons to use up a year.

Knowing after a gym sesh in 35 degrees that the only way you can get home is on a motorbike:

But once you're on after 20 minutes of procrastinating and the wind is blowing through your jacket at 100km/h:

lol Charlie, I ride a pushbike to the gym...I can't even go fast enough to get the cool breeze...not to mention it's a full-downhill bike, so takes a buttload of effort to get anywhere on :(

Ouch. Ride back wearing shorts only? Eh downhill I do not envy you at all. Even a road pushy with suspension is a bitch!

Hard part about the bike is getting your pants and jacket on over sweaty skin. Gets stuck and you have to fight while exhausted >.<

    • A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.
    • FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.
    • One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.
    • Welp, you've got a long list of experiences right there. I'd say you're on the right path.
    • That's correct, suits my requirements a bit better. Sure there are also numpties there, however it's generally a different vibe and more my kind of vibe.
