Ants, I know what you're saying bruv. My point was more that old mate said he can't wait until his metabolism slows down so he can gain weight...but it will be he wrong kind of weight. He can put on muscle instead and look a hundred times better and not be a 50kg rake.

Similarly to Dan, when I left school I was 62kg at 188cm, which is probably about as skinny as ZRBE is at his height. Now at 80kg, no one calls me skinny anymore and I didn't put on any fat to get there :)

ZRBE, compound movements are exercises that work more than one muscle/joint at the same time. The big three powerlifting movements, squats/deadlifts/bench are compounds. As are rows and pull-ups etc. But those big three will put on more muscle mass and build strength quicker than any other exercise particularly for a beginner. Do those properly and you will have no problem gaining weight or eating more.

say what?!

G'day boys and gals, As title suggest, I weigh about 66kg and have since year 11 when I was 16yrs old. Now 22 and still weigh the same. Lifestyle and my own lack of real dedication is a major hindran

I was 65kg when I left school, and it took a solid year of training and eating like a horse to gain weight, now I can hold it as my metabolism has slowed. It will happen and you can make it happen f

Well after a game of oztag tonight where I wasn't even good for a half I have decided I need to do more to look after my cardiovascular fitness.

Any cardio work in the gym before or after weight training will not happen. Not even worth mentioning.

My options are:

1. Crossfit

2. MMA at a decent gym

3. Cardio in the morning before work

Option 1 & 2 would basically mean no more actual gym work due to time constraints. 3 means getting up earlier and not being lazy. But I have no idea what type of cardio to do, jogging does not appeal to me nor does bike riding, I would have to do HIIT training but dont know where to start.

Thoughts and opinions?

None.

Weights you can do for 3x8 or 3x10.

Done explosively.

60 secs between sets.

Focus on compound movements.

Plenty of cardio.

If you're not puffed the weight is too light or you're not moving fast enough.

Alternatively, do two exercises at one time and switch back and forth set for set. 60secs rest after 1 set of each movement.

Or various alternatives of the above.

MMA would be a step above compound weights I'd say. Sparring is full body recruitment, huge tax on the respiratory systems.

I didn't do MMA but I did do some freestyle martial arts back in the day, nowhere near as hard a work as grappling though, and I agree it's a different type of fitness.

I am thinking about just running in the morning, least i can get the dog out with me. Pitty the baseball field locks all of its gates, cant get in and just let her off the lead and me do some sprints

      Has anyone put in brand new full carpet? (not floor mats)

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆

      Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
