If you can carry you shopping your not buying enough food. If you cannot carry your shopping your not lifting enough. And go.

Get the contact details and call up and speak to Dan or Paul.

Tell them you want to be shown how to squat, bench and deadlift with correct form.

they are open all week and Saturday's I think.

Make a time to visit and get taught all 3.

probably cost you $20 for the session.

Most important thing you'll get out of it are cues. Things to remember when doing the movement.

Eg squat:

sit back

knees out

chest up

Deads:

shoulders back

Back arched

push the floor away.

Also if you are doing something odd that you don't feel, they will see it and tell you so you know to fix it.

You can watch all the vids you want but a simple coaching session will be 100 times more beneficial.

Leesh. Just visit ptc Perth. Once.

it'll be worth it.

Deadlift will be slightly different for everyone. Different length arms, legs etc etc....

YouTube - mark rippetoe deadlift

He teaches it well.

I always figured you for a fan of Rippetoe!

This gave me a crucial pointer. I was breaking at the knees first rather than bending from the waist to lower down the thighs then breaking the knee.

This might help my clearance issue, I'll try it tomorrow.

Fell asleep way early last night (8:15pm or so, early as all hell by my standards) resulting in waking up at 4:30 this morning knowing I wouldn't be going back to sleep....today was the first time in many many months I've actually got up at such a stupid hour and stayed up, let alone done something productive with this time by going to the gym. Morning sessions THIS EARLY make for pretty some half arse lifts lol...though at least I'm up to 44kg working sets on DB press now :)

I don't know how people exercise in the mornings. I find I've got far less strength and given I don't have much anyway it essentially means I'm wasting my time.

That and It takes forever to warm up.

Props for getting in and getting it done.

I trained at out under the patio at 5am for about 3 years.

Winter was always much much harder... temp wise and lighting.

The last thing I wanted to do was hold on to that freezing cold bar.

As the years went by, each winter just got harder and harder and the knees and back took longer and longer to warm up.

It was good though.. by the time I got to work I'd already been up for 3 hours and done my lifting... Could just sit around and eat all day.

Train evenings now.

I prefer to train in the mornings. When I've been dedicated to going to the gym, it's been at 5-6am (the primary reason I changed to Jetts from Fitness First). Partially has to do with having a dad who's ex-military... also has to do with me liking regularity in my regime. Work can finish anywhere from 5-midnight so makes it tougher to stick to a schedule.

With that said, one of the guys that used to work with us had this supplement that was also an energy lifter. He wouldn't drink coffee at work in the mornings because this stuff had him going.

Anyone know what I'm talking about? Have been feeling my energy levels steadily depleting over the last 12 months and could do with a boost to get me back into my routine. If it helps, the stuff he was using was in a white bottle, with black label and red writing.... as generic as that is..

Any help would be appreciated!

Yeah, what Tolga said. What you're looking for should only be used on the odd occasion you're run down from lack of sleep or just a busy day. Long term energy problem are either going to be chronic fatigue/consistent sleep loss, or just a shitty diet. Any other possible causes will definitely not be fixed by an energy drink as they're either illness related or hormonal.

Just eat more.

      Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.

      My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )

      Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?

      Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!

      Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
