Been eating 3 tins a day for years with no ill effects. Half dozen eggs each morning too

Edit: We talking about the little 95g ones?

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 thought this started on the US based fitness forums, as over there most of their tuna is of the larger Albacore variety, whereas most of ours here is the smaller Skipjack, and therefore further down the food chain.

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

Haven't tried... Sounds interesting

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.

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!

There's no reason it shouldn't, some of us are pretty decent looking

And there are some pretty clued up trainers around here too!

[Floyd Westwood]

Yeah the aim is to be a bit bigger for my wedding in november.

I look shithouse in a tux at the moment.

Tailor made!

key word...

[Floyd Westwood]

Looking at moving to a push day, then leg day, then pull day. With a day off in between each one. And abs too.

[Trozzle]

f**k abs lol. If you insist, do them after legs or something

[Dani Boi]

Even if you're skinny fat, you can still look good in a tux
