Nice work Mark, getting pretty strong mate

Cheers mate, I'll be back at 17 next year fighting for a rack in the Hols gym.

How's your training going, my cardio has suffered badly over the last 3 months.

Sort of not looking forward to lots of running again, apparently that's all they do for pt.

its been going well mate, bit leaner these days but strength is still good

Managed to get another few years in Sydney hey :D

The new Gym should hopefully be done next year, the thing is massive so hopefully there will be more then one squat rack for you

that there army lifestyle.

base gym cost you money?

how much working out do you guys do each day, isnt it built into the daily training routine or is that dependent on what core you're in?

Most of the army boys juice these days? I know that used to but did hear of testing coming in?

I would hope they are allowed to as they are the ones that really need to be at the top of the game

No "juicing" where I am.

And juicing doesn't keep you at the top of your game,it might get you some results that you lose just as quick as they came.

Gym is free, food is cheap, life is good.

Not bad.

But they dont call them performance enhancing drugs for nothing. And quite wrong about not keeping the gains after you stop. If you eat and train like you were when you were on them you should keep between 60-80% and most of what you do lose is just water weight anyway. I train with a competitive body builder so see it all the time.

Well, I am on course ATM and my old mate Turtle is on the same course, so as you do we became training partners to incite some friendly competition and controlled rage.

After weights we have decided to throw in some light conditioning to keep the heart rate up, at be beginning of this week we decided to throw in some mouth guards, put on the gloves and proceed to punch each other in and around the head and body.

What a great way to finish a work out, the ring is a indoor basket ball court and it beats sitting on a bike or rower for 20 minutes, and its functional.

Funny thing is I keep thinking of the saying "the older I get, the better I was".

Its like a old comedy, two blokes shaping up, circling each other like sharks and throwing some punches for a while till one of us hits the other, which is then followed by apologises then more punching.

I have found it to be very hard work to punch your mate in the face whilst laughing hysterically.

I highly recommend adding this form of conditioning into your sessions.

Disclaimer: You will bleed, but the fun is worth it.

And yea it's dependent on how strict your unit is on making you do PT in the morning.. Some guys just gym it twice a day as they can get away with it. I personally like mixing it up with pt in the morning and weights in the arvo after work

How have you missed your opportunity if you didn't join at 18?

possible heart condition that requires a defibrillator in my chest.

physically and mentally I am fine, served in the Reserves for a few years and missed my chance for deployment due to being an idiot.

but yeah, if some sort of EMP goes off my pace maker stops and i die.

    • Fuel tank is out. Looks pretty bloody good under (ie above) the fuel tank.  Amazing how good the factory e-coat holds up in the hidden areas.  No where near as much body deadener to get rid of as the front but still not looking forward to it!  Shit of a job.  I'm thinking I might grab a needle scaler and give that a go before I attack it with the angle grinder and wire wheel which is how I did the front 2/3's of the car.  Feels good to be working on the car again but who knows how long it will last!  Hopefully I can get it further forward than where it was prior to this last block of work when I decided to go back 10 steps further down the rabbit hole from where i already was! The problem is, I'm realising how hard it will be to repair and paint the bumpers, which cannot be put back on the car, and have a good paint match. There are also areas where it would be VERY hard to hide the new paint where it transitions from old paint. Like this- There is only one way to do that perfectly and I really dont want to have to do what that means I would have to do... 🤦‍♂️
    • Pretty sure the factory assembly doesn't have any gasket at all, just RTV.
    • I will get a couple cans for sure thanks, I do have 2lt fish oil to spray around the car already.
    • Thought I’d post pics of the packages for those interested. The premium package is #16. Remote start, security with tilt sensor and remote and backup battery, auto fold mirrors and door illumination.    Can post up pics of all the factory options and images from the factory options brochure if people are interested. I have all the dealer books etc for all rv37 models. 
    • After its dried out Penetrol is you friend to treat rust and seal up those seams
