What's the video of? can't see at work :(

I reckon more volume is just a good way of expending more energy and breaking down muscle a little bit more, without requiring more effort*

*by effort I mean the more scientific definition, which I can't seem to put into words :/

Research indicates that volume training leads to sarcoplasmic hypertrophy.

I felt like I could have done more but I had no grip on the bar. I tried with and without gloves; on the 5th rep the bar fell out of my hands so I stopped.

I tried for a second rep but couldn't lock it out.

There's no scientific reason for it, I don't know enough about that lol. I've just always felt that volume training works well for maintaining a lean, athletic looking body and good mental / physical endurance (slow twitch fibers etc.). Seems to be less prone to injury due to less weight (no slip in technique, particularly training without a coach) and it also gives you a bit of a cardio workout at the same time, particularly with the compounds.

We use low rep / 1RM training at the end of the sets to introduce new weight when we feel we are ready to step up. To me this has always been about training to have more left in the tank no matter what you've been doing beforehand / how crap you feel. Again, no scientific basis, but I love training this way.

I have introduced it to a few people and the result is usually a decent amount of muscle and fat loss, even with an average diet. If you look up German Volume Training, some of the principles are similar, albeit with slightly less sets.

It's not the most efficient way to build strength, but I find it works fairly well on that part, too, as long as you're not looking to be a power lifter,

the bold section is somewhat true however the rep range that you are working to is off for maintaining as you are still working to the magic HYPERTROPHY side of muscle growth (sub 12reps) not to mention doesnt include enough cardio based HR so not exactly getting a 100% from the workout designed.

super setting and low weight higher reps is idealy where you would like to be for this instance in the perfect world

Leesh noticed this comment from Bulk Nutrients today during their lunchtime Q & A

When it comes to "bulking up with muscle" in regards to a female - ask any of our top female professionals on this very Facebook page how extremely DIFFICULT this is to do for a woman. It will not happen over night and it sure won't be the cause of a protein powder. Sure, carb and fat bulk can happen rapidly, as well as a heap of water build up, but in no way will muscle suddenly just appear on a female without some serious serious planning and dedication.

That is from Bulk in regards to a women asking about a powder that wont make her bulk up much, but I thought it was appropriate to some of the things you have said.

This is 100% true. Female lack certain hormones and thus (without roids) can not build muscle. Well thats not entirely true but the maximum is around 1 - 3kg of muscle and as stated years in the making.

    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
    • A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.
