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 >.<

    • I did a bit of googling, the color MCM used was Galaxy Grey from House of Kolor. This is actually a colour I picked out about ~10+ years ago (or more). This one is a stock BMW colour, I guess over the years I figured it was smart to get an OEM colour that was pretty common for all of those sensible reasons one can think of..
    • I absolutely love having clean wheels and also totally love cleaning them. Its not as important to me to have a clean car exterior as it is to have clean wheels. So I bought a kit. I generally use different products for my wheels than anything else, so I thought I'd buy a proper kit and bucket to keep it all in. I got this one from Waxit. I also got the CQuartz wheel and plastic ceramic along with a bunch more application micro fibre pads as CQuartz never provide enough.  The kit was good, but as usual the big, long spongey thing didn't fit between my spokes, so I needed to use a detailing brush and a larger brush that I already owned (been doing this forever, the spokes on these wheels are frustrating.) I did a full clean with the wheel cleaner, it has an iron killing product in it, so I found that I could just use the cleaner and nothing else on the wheels. The tyre cleaner and handled brush were awesome. Made cleaning the tyres so easy. Once everything was clean, I decontaminated with isopropyl and applied the ceramic. Two coats. I bought 2 bottles as I have a lot of wheels to do, half of one bottle did two coats on these. The X5 has 20's so I reckon probably 3/4 on that. Then, for possibly the best part, the wheel cleaning kit comes with a tyre black applicator. But, this is possibly the greatest sponge of all time - its a great size, quite stiff and HAS A COVER! When you finish applying the black, you just put the cover back on! This is revolutionary, I normally have to try and find safe places to put my tyre black applicators as they are covered in silicone and tyre crap. Or, you use something which just falls apart. This applicator is the bee's knee's. Get one. It's worth it. The tyre black is also like a cream, its very thick but goes on really thin, its very easy to use with the applicator. Ayway, after a big clean, decontam, ceramic coat and tyre black the wheels went back on and they look awesome.   Thought I'd share. 
    • Haha. Good work. I feel some of your pain because I spent a bunch of time under my car over the period too. Probably nowhere near as much as you did. My happiness is similarly improved by obtaining a desired result though. Those side skirts are.....hecking. Very unfriendly for street and hoist. Sounds to me like you've made a cart that needs to be driven up only planks/blocks at a 2 post hoist, rather than trying to get it up onto a 4 poster. It's very pretty, by the way. Somewhat reminiscent of Marty's squid ink on SuperGramps - at least in the photos.
    • Absolute Legend 🍻 After fighting with the scanned ones for the last 10 years this is a God send 
    • ATTAKD 356mm Brake Kit for R34 GTT or R33 GTST. Same brake kit as per here from JJ: https://justjap.com/products/attkd-brake-kit-nissan-skyline-r34-99-02?currency=AUD Can confirm these will bolt directly to a R33 GTST with 12mm bolts OR to a R34 GTT (which is what I had) with the supplied bolts and the collets for the 14mm bolt holes in the R34, which are included. Also included is a set of rotors and hats, as well as 2x brake pad sets. 1) DBA XP (street, hills) 2) Forza FR6 (track) These are radial mounted and bolt directly to R33/R34. You will need extended brake lines to avoid them being full stretch on lock - this is common for all BBK's with the bolt point being in the center. In my case I welded another stud about 25mm lower than the OEM one and retained stock lines and fittings. You'll want a BM57 BMC to get the most out of these. I speak from experience. $1800 (neg for SAU people), located SE Suburbs Melbourne.
