Supra_Nish

I'm still carrying on! I now have a 5 pack! The top 4 squares and the bottom two are forming, at the moment just oneish but the right shape. I've found going heavy helps. Do situps with a 20kg plate or the heaviest ball available, around 20 reps, about 5 sets. It hurts! In terms of trimming and muscle, I'm not sure how you'd do both at the same time. I'm about 5'6, when i was bulking up I hit 79kg, that was with shakes and good quality meat all day long. Past few months I cut out all the shakes, and the diet in general is alot more "normal". I'm now weighing in at a far more trim 69-71kg. I wanted to see how much strength/muscle i would lose. Overall, no loss in strength, though recovery takes a VERY long time now. Overall size, I'd say a little smaller, but alot more defined so in most cases people think i look bigger.

Sorry to hear this mate. I'm just down the road in Uxbridge, if you need a hand with anything like picking up the window etc let me know.

yeah i know, I still own my place up there, but should change it as I haven't been up for a while. I'll PM you details.

U sure can! Except i'm in west london at the moment. Going from past trips, I think postage works out cheaper then the supe petrol cost.

Yes another pair! Drivers side is in good clear condition, passenger has the usual yellowing. No cracks scratches or other problems. In Mr T (not the fool pitying type) boxes if you like that sort of thing. £50, any takers? Postage is about £12 i think.

Sorry to see this Irfan mate. This car is very clean, the engine work has resulted in a very tight motor. Just blipping the throttle on idle you can feel the difference against most other cars, as he says it feels like a brand new engine. I would get it on a dyno mate as people will want to know what its pushing, I would estimate over 400bhp at the fly with ease in comparison to mine.

LOL, Go Chuck!

'Fraid not, hooked on the psp at the moment. U considered selling the games individually on ebay? At a tenner each or so you'll make most of the cash your looking for.

Nice pic! Your not a flower arranger or something are you?? (sorry i already have an xbox)

A very valid point. A quick look into possible mods then off for a test drive I think.

I just feel like a change, the supe is awesome, but I like to try new things. 911 Turbos are out of range, buying another property in the next month or two so budget is a max of 25k for now. Lambo - One day, unfortunately not this year though.

Haven't been making the meets, changed jobs, on the other side of london so usually too late to get back in time mate. The supe really will mess us all up, your right in that performance wise theres not much out there. Options considered so far: Lotus Exige S2 BMW Z4 (?) TVR - Tuscan S, T350 BMW M3 Porsche something or another I really got no idea! For one reason or another they all keep getting discounted, closest yet is the exige. Immense fun. Theres something about the Z3M which intrigues me though

So is mine, and thats the only thing worrying me. No doubt its a quick car, but will it feel sluggish with no turbos shoving it along? I know its going to be a real b!tch when I get taken by a supe, knowing my luck it will be mine!

its all relative, compared to a 28k exige its cheap! I do think its good value though, alot of car for the money from what i can see.

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/images/60595-1.jpg Controversial looks, but good power, impressive list of extras - oh and very cheap to buy now. Does anyone have any experience of them? I'm really keen on a test drive and a proper look at one but they're so rare, none near where I live for sale.

I agree. Could you explain your reasoning for this Nic? Its bloody annoying, quite a few of the products you put up are interesting but I find it a real ball ache to PM for each one, even a ball park figure would be good. I mean are we talking £50 or £500 for these?

Think hes trying to build up? In which case almost everything in site! Cottage cheese is a good way to add a bit more protein to your diet, stick it in your sandwiches (all 8), on your jacket potatoes and anything else you can stomach.

As mentioned, some soreness is a good thing, else your not going at it with enough intensity really. (This is weight training obviously). It becomes harder and harder the more you train, I am now pleasantly surprised if it happens to me. But there are ways, alter routines drastically. I vary from 3-4 times a week right down to 2, sessions vary from 40mins to 90. I find a good shock to the system every now and then really wakes it up or it settles into a routine, i.e. 40min workouts with minimal rest breaks between sets, literally lift everything in site for 40mins flat out.

Funniest statement I've read in a while.

I'm usually flying across between hillingdon and harrow turn offs. Silver, no spoiler K891 V**, not sure I was on it tuesday night though.

For me, I like going to the gym. I love weight training, for some sick reason I really like that feeling the next day of muscles aching as you move. It also lets me eat anything I like, as often as I like, when starting off I used to be on shakes and all sorts, calorie intake daily of over 4000, even then i could control body fat. So without the shakes etc I have a large playing field. As I've quit smoking, I thought I'd see what I could do cardio and fitness wise, in my mind a good guage of that would be muscle definition and a 6 pack.

yeah seen the balancing stuff. It does work. I've started doing dumbell presses etc with my back on a ball, takes alot of concentration and works core muscles hard. Considering martial arts or similar if i can find the time. I have a 4 pack, though the middle two arent quite square lol, bottom two are MIA. Well, i'm exaggerating, they are there, just not as defined as I'd like. Not sure I'm willing to give up cakes and doughnuts etc for that though.

In that case I think I'm lost

Yeah i know cardio is the only real way, I'm trying to strike a balance, get lean but not loose too much mass. Its trial and error at the moment, I've varied my bodyweight between 68 and 78kgs, trying to find a suitable middle ground. I'm lucky in that i can quite easily put on or shed weight as I've been training for a while so know what needs to be done. Abs are eluding me though, for example, i have the bicep vain, hell i have one going up the front of my shoulder in towards my chest, looks like a friggin cable delivering NOS or something! Its due to my lack of cardio, I only gave up smoking about 3 months ago, the whole running without keeling over after 2mins is still new to me

Did/doing the same thing as you mate, on the definition bit now, going great on arms, shoulders, chest, legs everywhere, except my stomach! I used to have a solid six pack, jeez having difficulty getting that back after bulking up! One tip for you, keep doing work on your abs the whole way through, I left mine really late and paying for it now!
