i sea

what are your goals, boxer? bodybuilder? general fitness?

woot..our own section.. thanks heaps nathan.

syn, where did you see that article, like to have a read..

We can now have all our own threads and stickies are really good idea..

its in the anabolic diet book, wont let me copy and paste but you could go to the link

http://www.scribd.com/doc/5567918/-Fitness-Anabolic-Diet

page 63, last sub heading of the page


I just read the whole book, lol dont ask.

Make sense most of it, at PT school they said your brain can only use carbs for fuel, but Dr D says its a myth, it uses ketones, but dont u have to be in ketosis for that then?

Don't really have a goal atm, just to be fit i suppose. I love the feeling being fit, healthy and strong gives you, like how you can just do thing so much physical stuff better and easier than most people, and it gives me a fair bit of satisfaction after a hard workout.


Back in school i used to swim competitively and train 5/6+ times a week, so i was swimming 25km+ per week and that kept me fit and was my goal for doing other work outs, but now i've stopped that i've been getting into the general fitness side of things lately, like i don't want to specialise in one particular thing, just want to be fit and be able to do just about anything, wether it be lifting big weights, push ups or running 10km, thats why i really like the boxing thing im doing at the moment, it's not really true boxing, it's more fitness based. We spar a little bit but also do alot of bag work and cardio stuff.


What you into?

bodybuilding, looking to go into a comp in the next year or so

just make sure your eating good mate, and you should be orsm

Best core strength drill ever is use a barbell with 10kg's on each end (and stops) and do roll outs ;D

Great idea. Thanks for our own section Nathan. So far our threads have managed to keep most trolls and spammers out, so it's been going well. Plus hopefully some of us have put some light on some areas that people needed advice with.


Yeah it can have some bad side affects, it is the main ingredient in speed after all. Hence why you can't just buy normal stuff over the counter here. The pseudo stuff is not as bad, but can still cause problems especially in high doses. How much leaner are you trying to get though? You would be best to just stick to your low carb/high carb phase, so you can get a general idea of how well it has worked for you.

Anyone going to the comp down the coast 24th May ? I'm heading down to watch how my mate goes in his first comp.

Attempting to get healthier crew signing in.

Gotten back into running on saturday after a long break and going to hit up Mt Warning again this w/end.

yer going down to watch my mate aswell. that the one at the goldy rsl?

Not sure exactly where, I just told him I would come watch. It is at an RSL tho, so must be the same one.

Look out for me, I will have big muscles. lol

prove it

how the fuck do u make a thread there no button for it

I don't know jack about gym activities. I just try to run or jog every morning and that about sums up my exercise regimen.

umm start reading budday

Yeah that's the NABBA show isn't it? So many on over the next few weeks, hard to keep track. I will be going for sure. Have a couple of mates competing.

1 FREE ticket to the gun show for you my friend....

Arnie is so small when compared to me, lol. I need more abs work around the lower area, I took this after doing chest so I have a pump going up top. Please excuse the shorts they are not my prettiest ones. I would like bigger traps too, oh and biceps as well. I have plateaued with the growth, seems i have to work twice as hard to get somewhere. I wish i had got into this 20 years ago while still at school. Weight is hovering between 83kg - 85kg, my mates at footy have noticed a big difference in my speed when running and well thats because i'm 11kg lighter.

I really don't know, but i will ask him and find out.

jesus dude you've bulked up a bit since last saw you.

On topic in a way though, running in the rain last night was most refreshing

it rained last nite?

TUF, why dont u try the anabolic diet, your pretty much replace all your carbs with good fats, thus controls insulin better and increase test and GH.

It could help you lower your body fat to 11-12%

Im only 3 weeks into it feel fine, my sex drive has been way up, that would be the test i reckon! Plan to stay on this diet for a long time. maybe 6 months.

Thanks mate, it has been almost 2 years tho since we crossed paths. I was cardio for 45mins 5 mornings a week and weights 5 nights a week. Probably went a bit hard on myself for an over 30's guy but i just snapped and wanted to do something about it. I'm happy now.



I will have to research this diet you speak of. Currently i just changed from very low carbs/high protein diet for my fat loss to a higher carb diet but have not noticed much of an increase, i'm not as tired tho thats about all the positives for me. The Creatine was really good for gains at first but seems to have tapered off and i'm looking to stop using it. To be honest my sex drive is not what it used to be and only really noticed it since i been on this diet the last 10 months. I just put it down to my age and accepted it.

I will give the anabolic diet a good go thats for sure. I only want to be a tiny bit bigger then I am and I will be stoked. Actually if I could be the same size as i am now after a pump when i'm not pumped that would be great. Wait and see I guess.

Thanks

I had a quick look on google about the diet. I can handle this, look forward to the carb loading on sundays too.

I will do some more reading but i think i get the gist of what its trying to do. Thanks Synergy for the sugestion.

you want it to be clean carbs dude, the only prob is there are no rules set for what ever so people eat shit on weekends and they still got fat then they proceeded to say this diet is shit and doesnt work but really it was there own fault for no being responsible.

you could have 2 cheat meals max, the rest would need to be clean low gi, slow releasing carbs i.e oats, sweet potato etc

heres the e-book mate. you may find it a bit repetitive but dr d is trying to get the point across.

here are the thread about it on tnation

read the 1st 60 pages when u have time


http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_forum/...79&pageNo=1

it is a long term diet btw and just a suggestion.

Make sure your eating 18x your bodyweight in pounds.

it did here on the goldcoast, mr_bex and I went for jog up and down the espy and it started raining pretty much as soon as we started

i'm starting to think twice about you and mrs bex summoner.. ahah

i'm in a long term relationship with a wonderful woman (not some skanky boost tart) so nothing sus. Easier to exercise/be motivated when you've got a mate to do it with

all good mate, just havin some fun..

It's a pity there aren't enough of these to satisfy the boost virgin population. They have to fight for superiority

WOW that was a long read but well worth it. I understand it more after reading about his diet thanks for the link, I appreciate your effort. I will stick with it as I can easily cut down on my carb intake as similar to when i was on high protein/low carb diet. I just need to include the fats into it as well. I am going to try having my carbs at night instead of morning, this will take a bit for my body to get used to but i'm dedicated to give it a good go.

Hi guys,

Is it normal for me to feel pins and needles in my feet after approx 20 minutes of cardio on the bike and cross trainer? It only occurs from the arches forward to my toes and doesn't travel further up my legs. Goes away approx 5 minutes after I get off the machine.

I'm used to walking a couple of km's a day and don't push my cardio to the point of faltering or muscle failure. I've even loosened the laces on my shoes a little but to no effect.

Have my first appointment with one of the trainers at my gym tomorrow to work out a month's program for me so I'll ask them but wonder if others experience this.

so this is where the thread went


thanks for pming me and letting me know there's a fitness section lol

I have had similar sometimes when using a cross trainer for long cardio sessions, like 45 mins or so. My shoes are a few years old, so I put it down to they aren't as supportive as they used to be. Plus it can be a bit of a strain on the muscles in your feet I suppose. I was going to go to a shop like Athletes Foot and get a new pair and ask them sometime over the next few weeks.


I had the same problem. At first I thought the gym workout thread in OT had been deleted

who is that..and why!!!

you lose balance..goodbye!!

but damn that would get your strength up.


going to be starting my own gym thread, saves having to post in this one all the time.. Easier if we all have our own, won't have to sift back though pages of gunk..

nah that would create more shit imo


except if we had a separate section for gym journals, then it would work

Gym journal like on bb.com?

Thread each would be easy enough for everyone.. day to day thing for everyone.. Or a certain layout?

yeah a thread each but in a separate section in here so it doesnt get all mixed up with the other threads

Mt warning today in 3hours 21min, new pb

will try and crack 3 hours in a month or 2

Didn't we all make a joke about someone trying this once?

Massive chance of back injury when he falls. WTB new spine.

you mean when the ball pops lol



I think we we're saying about someone doing dumbbell press lying on the ball or something

WHOA, having caffeine on a high fat high protein low carb diet, i feel like i can do 50 backflips on the spot, its crazy!

Dr D in his book said caffeine will respond alot more than if your were on a mod carb diet. he was right!

reminds me of this clip
http://www.videosift.com/video/Futurama-Fr...-cups-of-coffee

Whats happening team? Finally found the gym thread again......ahhhhhh. Been killing it lately upping bench weight and reps. After reading some of the gear Damo's on ive managed to jump onto some Carnitine and I think its doing its job. Yeah that swissball shit is crazy..some links for viewing pleasure;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUgckL0pVfc...feature=related (swiss ball squat)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLW-RpX0T38...feature=related (swiss ball gauntlet)

back abs anyone

Did some cardio today then followed up with a weights session. (Dumbell press, single arm row, bicep curl & tricep pulldowns while standing on one leg, seated row, leg press, chin ups and push ups.)


Hit the piss hard on Saturday night for the first time in a few weeks then had to go to work early on Sunday morning. Definitley felt it when I hit the gym today...

What do you guys do if you fall ill? I've had a stomach bug for a week now, and lost a good 3kg


Not sure how much of that is lean muscle mass (im hoping not much)


But what exactly starts breaking down when you dont eat very much for like a week?

3kg in a week is alot, pretty much all of that would be water weight so dont panic.

You keep exercising so your body fights the bug off faster, make sure your cleaning your hands after the gym

have really hot showers to help kill "the bugs"

does anyone know a good way to learn how to squat clean and jerk?

Age: almost 18
Weight: 70.8kg
Height: hmm 5ft 9" , thats a guess. not overly tall.
Bench 85kg 3 sets of 6. max push 95kg ( once ).
DB Bench, 30 kg per arm 3 sets of 8. ( could use work on this )
Leg press 130kg 3 sets of 8 ( could use alot of work on this )

my squat technique needs extensive work.
im looking to be a cop after school , so im wanting to be in peak physical condition.
im incorperating more cardio into my workouts, aswell as another workout per week on legs.

working out 5 times a week with suppliments.

is that up and down ?
i've made it to the top in one hour and 4 minutes.
took my time on the way down though.

PCYC @ suncorp stadium do olympic weightlifting classes. My best bet is to go there and do it.

Whatever you do, learn how to do it right the first time. It's like posture, very hard to correct once you have been doing it a long time. The compound movements are one of the best to work multiple muscle groups and generate power but if you have shit technique you will do yourself a heap of harm. You could even see if someone at your local gym is accredited by the australian weight lifting association to give you some pointers.
