Dude if it's just for the one day, I strongly suggest this (incoming broscience):

2 days prior to the day, eat your usual clean lunch, then nothing but water until dinner. For dinner have a protein shake. The next day you will consume nothing with caloric value, which pretty much leaves you with water, BCAA supps (make sure no carbs), thermogenics, black tea/coffee without sugar, and you get the idea. During this day do a heap of really low weight lifting and a bit of cardio - you wanna get rid of fluid while still trying to encourage your muscles to hold onto a bit. Don't forget you're not eating anything at all this day, just non-caloric fluids. After you wake up the next morning and take a piss/whatever, take a pic of how you look in the mirror and post results.

I'm sure there's more effective ways of doing this, but I stumbled upon how effective this can be when I got my tongue pierced and had no choice lol

Thanks for the tip but too late

Comp is tomorrow 9a.m,

I also have my sister in laws birthday tonight at a Yum Cha Restaurant

And then she wants to go out to the nightclubs

Maybe I should do the running man all night and it can be my cardio :woot:

Drink shitloads of water tonight, try not to hit the booze too hard....at least alcohol is a diuretic lol. Drink a heap of water before bed, but nothing when you wake up. Have a hot shower beforehand too maybe. Just gonna have to rely on convincing your body to drop water then dehydrating it.

Haha yeah I was thinking alcy is a diuretic

But nah ill lay off the booze tonight so i can wake up early tomorrow and do a light gym sesh

Cheers brah

who's judging the comp?

Probably ourselves based on 3,2, 1 vote system. Highest vote wins but cant vote for yourself.

All of the gfs will also be there so they could vote if they arent biased lol

So ended up being a draw between me and a mate out of 4 guys

Split winnings

Went to Maccas to celebrate and bill came to over $100 lol

Also decided to try and shed water weight so only sipped on water throughout yesterday

Ended up losing an extra kilo in a day. Not sure if the extra ab definition was there as a result of it tho

Congratulations on the win, even if it was a tied first :P still a good effort....also wtf @ your mate's massive weight drop :S

Would I stack up? lolz, tomorrow morning should be interesting,

Yeah definately a good chance nohomo

Do you guys have any opinions on weight gain per week/month to gain as much lean mass as possible but smallest in fat gain

I've heard anywhere between 0.5kg per week to 0.5 kg per month

I'd say depending on how much you actually have to lose, 500-750g of fat loss per week wouldn't be too detrimental. Your lifting would eat shit I reckon though, but that's just from lack of fuel.

I can't comment on lean muscle gain sorry. Not even broscience like the above lol

If you're gaining 0.5kg a week in lean muscle it's not going to be naturally. That means you would gain 26kg in lean muscle over the course of a year. Even with newbie gains the most you might see is about 5-10kg lean muscle MAX.

Inb4 "one of my mates gained like 22kg last year… he says it was all lean gains"

Yeah definately a good chance nohomo

There's no exact figure for that are you're asking for the impossible. All that matters is the practices you undertake to achieve it. Just stick to a clean diet and make sure your gym sessions are calorie burners. Calories in, calories out.

Protein shakes like BN are useful here because they are a protein source without the fat or carbs. As has been said though, trying to gain muscle without the fat is the hardest way. Not impossible...I've gained any muscle I have that way...just hard.

    • So, I've been a little busy on this car. I replaced the bonnet struts which is always satisfying but very confusing that nobody else on the planet seems to do this. Its just my routine first thing I do on any car I buy. The boot struts for both the tailgate and the separately opening glass window was a bastard. And, I found a fair bit of rust in the strut cavity. I filled it with rust converter and cleaned up as much of the dirt as I could. There was so much dirt. One piece of the trim was barely hanging on and so I've left it off. I'll try to get a replacement. You can see how disgusting and dirty it all was in this thread; I had to remove the little clips that hold the struts on the ball. The ones I took off had no clips and it was impossible to get them on with them in place. Fingers crossed they stay put. So, I turned my attention to the headlights, they were in a bad way and likely would stop rego. I took the headlights out and found the adjusters were all just loose. So, I fixed those and unclipped the lenses to clean them up. Couldn't believe how easy it was to take all this apart compared to the E90.   I also cleaned up the stockies which was awesome, these are super cool with lug nut covers. They're in good nic but the tyres are shot. I was going to use these for rego but in the end got a fresh pair of rubber for the 17's on the front of the car instead. The front bar of this car is from a late(r) model one. I don't think it's quite LCI but who knows. I'll need to find out. Anyway, the bar was missing the fog lights and the wiring and plugs were for the original ones so I got new plugs and some cheap fogs. I wasn't sure if missing original equipment would hamper my blue slip attempts. Had a couple of these little fellas helping out. But not Ben who got stuck behind the pool heater .... How embarressment.  I ordered new speed sensors for all corners because I knew one was out. I just got cheapies and will replace them with Bosch items when I can find Bosch items. Again, this was just for rego. Alas, it seems the blue speed sensors are not the same as the grey ones. Back they went and replacements ordered. In the end, with my new scan tool, it was just rear left that was shot. Replaced it and cleared the codes. All good now. Lastly, my aux (thermo) fan is being a bit odd. Its powering up at strange times and NOT powering up when I think it should (100C). While this can be caused by a few things, the most likely (for me) is the ambient temp sensor. Given mine reads -40.0C regardless of the temp, I figured it would be good to replace it. In the end, the sensor wiring was abysmal with (terrible) attempts made by somebody to fix it.   I fixed this all up but the sensor is only attached using pins into the wires. The plug is not there. Despite trying and trying to connect it securely it wouldn't work so a replacement sensor and plug is on the way. Oh, I also ordered a replacement piece of trim for the part missing here at the bottom. Ordered from Latvia for $70 delivered. I took a bit of a leap of faith because I didn't have the exact part number and, as usual, there were eleventy billion pieces of trim that looked to fit. Nailed it. Well, its not totally perfect but I think its more a 28 y/o car problem than a trim problem. And, as of today ..... I have bought the workshop manuals 2nd hand off a guy in tassie. 1000+ pages of E39 goodness, hopefully it helps me with the fan. I also have a new temp switch on the way incase its the problem. Stoked.
    • I don't even know that you want an M2 Competition as a track car. My rule for a track car is only risk as much as you're willing to completely total out. Clean stock C5 Z06 Corvettes out here are cheap. Buying someone else's already ruined track car is even cheaper. Maybe I'm just not that good a driver but even a Fiesta ST on the Nordschleife felt like as much car as I could realistically handle.
    • I've already gone over the cam. A new one is going in. An old one is coming out! The new one is smaller, with less overlap. It has way more lift, but it will be more mild mannered (hopefully, probably very minorly) I'm also measuring for two more mufflers, with the goal of having four mufflers in my car. But that probably will be done by an exhaust shop in a drive in, measure, buy parts, install parts later kind of deal.
    • Mine is not even a GTR and I've been resisting the urge to make it a power monster for the last 25 years. And as a consequence, I have driven it to work nearly every day across that span of time.
    • Since the motor is out, I suggest pop in a nice dirty LS chop cam. MOAR of this please:
