Pip

Yes mate.

I actually started a thread a long time ago on this subject:

No dude you havent seen me. Believe you and me, you would know if you did :winky:

I thought you were asian, my mistake

Looking good though mate :)

Half Indian, half white FYI and cheers :winky:

Chaps,

i bought a set off ebay, rebranded phillips ones, and the strangest thing happens...

When i turn on the lights, HID beams, my mirrors fold in and after a second they open up again, it does this even when the car is moving, so if i flash someone the mirrors fold in and then out again, really dangerous as i usually flash for somoeone to pull out, anyone else had this problem? i have the mirror folding circuit fitted to my car so when i activate the alarm the mirrors fold in, when i am stationary and i do it with the door open it seems the car wants to lock, but while driving dont hear this, thats why i mentioned the circuit...any ideas please as the HID kit is brilliant but the mirror thing is freaking me out.....Geoffers....

LOL

Man that must be funny to see, flash someone and your ears fold in...

Looking Good Pip

Still on carb depletion???

I am :(

Had a week off though with my Son arriving :) first day back today LOL Happy Days

No dude i had my shoot this weekend, thank *** lol!! :) Long weekend to say the least.

So i am back to 'normal' food again.

I nailed my criteria of 10% bf :winky:

What you aiming for anyway?

Just out of interest Pip whats your workout routine, Do you have multiple routines that you rotate or do you just do the same routine until you hit your plateu (sp) then change?

I tend to keep it simple mate. Basic heavy compound movements.

I train 4-5days a week. It really depends as for my latest job i was training 7 days with also a lot of cardio too.

Goes something like:

Shoulders & Forearms

Back and biceps

Chest and Triceps

Legs

Thats on each day a different body part.

Not quite following dude?

Ah, might not have been you I saw at Charlesworth then

No dude you havent seen me. Believe you and me, you would know if you did :winky:

in all fairness thats not how I remember you

Not quite following dude?

Depends on what you're after - something sustaineable or whether you want to waddle around with excess bulk. don't knock it until you've tried it. I've found everyword of the following true.

I am not knocking it but in accordance to what the dude wants, pilates isnt the answer for him.

As for waddling around with excess bulk; i certainly would prove you very wrong and there are many lads out there whom are big but also agile as hell. Even when i at my normal 224-230lbs weight there is no 'waddling'.

I think you could do with some more work on your arms ..................Yeah right

Oh mate i have lost about a good 1.5" off them because i have had to trim down recently. Bit gutted actually.

***** taking it a bit far, no?

Photoshoot for a car LMFAO!

Tidy

Congrats mate.

Not where you are mate, i wouldnt know.

LOL!!

Sounds cool

Not sure if this is a bit Off Topic, but .....

What do you all think of the Body Mass Index calculations.

I don’t feel they are that accurate, as they don’t take in the actual build of a person.....

Either that or I'm possibly a Fat Git.

it's a rough guideline but to be honest, cannot be relied upon. a better marker of how healthy you are is your body fat levels. a guy with a muscular build and a really obese out of shape guy can both have the same "above average" BMI - go figure

A rough guideline for the general population is correct as Maneesh has said, throw in the factor of ppl who are involved in physical activity and the whole thing is useless.

eg: My normal bodweight is 224lbs @ 14% bodyfat - according to BMI i am obese.

I am currently 201lbs @ 9% bodyfat - according to BMI i am still obese (see below) LMFAO!!!

BTW The bit on the six pack being a genetic predisposition is true. As mentioned everyone has abdominal muscles its just the diet which brings it out. :winky:

Oh yeah excuse the flowery **** in the background...mothers...tut..

That was taken 3 weeks ago and i am even further cut now.

the base to any training regime is a sound cardiovascular pyramidal base. without that, you have nothing.

yes, by all means lift weights, but cardio is key!! if you wanted a fully structured and personalised training plan, the absoloute best thing you could do would be to have some tests run in the sports science labs to calculate VO2 max etc etc. they are always after volunteers and i'm sure i could sort it out for ya......loughborough uni is the best in the UK for this stuff mate.

like i said, we'll chat on msn, probably sunday night as i'm away all weekend. :D :D

LOL

Yes i agree a little as to cardio being needed to keep healthy function of the cardiovascular system/heart and also the main key being keeping bf levels under control.

However look at what he wants to achieve, i dont think you have understood. All the cardio in the world isnt going to get him his goals, so your stance is fundamentally flawed in logic.

Real world experience and collective date not some text book for reference being the key.

You train at all?

if you want good muscle tone and a flat toned stomach then Pilates is the answer.

Are you for real?

I'm 11st and carry it pretty well, however, it's not the loosing weight that I'm interested in, it's the toning up and shaping up.

I wouldnt have thought you would have carried that but perhaps blown away at that weight/height ratio.

Answer quick and simple without seeing pics of you and also without knowing current bf levels (although i can tell you are classic ectomorph):

You need weight resistance training; join a decent gym.

Increase your calorie intake to 3500+ cals a day (keep it 70% clean, as you are naturally lean).

Nothing wrong with lifting nothing. Dont worry everyone starts somewhere.

Keep your cardio (your jogging) at a steady pace (nothing intense or explosive). Also dont do too much. Once or twice a week is more tahn enough for you.

"The ectomorph's first objective is gaining weight and muscle mass.Strength and endurance will need to be developed and muscle mass develops very slowly. Stay with the basic exercises and include power moves that build maximum mass. Do an entire training workout, but take longer rest periods if you need to. Take in more calories than you are accustomed to and use weight-gaining and protein drinks to supplement your food intake. Try not to expend to many calories by keeping cardio to a minimum saving them for muscle building."

Ok bud? :winky:

Height - 6ft 3"

Weight - 11st

Recently been held in Basra? :duh:

Kidding...Bulldog should sort you out with a plan.

I currently wrapped up with my shoot which is this weekend.

What you wanna know m8???

Pm me or give me a bell and i will help you , its very easy when you know how :D all just simple maths :D

To lose weight take on board less than u need , to gain do the opposite.

I will gladly have a chat wth you pal

You will generally make alot of good gains in the first few months then everything settles down and the long hard slog begins this is were the determination really comes in.

From meeting you i dont think your going to be a monster but we can pack some meat on them bones :D

Hay Dave

What chance have i got mate or am i past the point of repair

Nah mate youre a future Mr Universe candidate :winky:

I have to disagree Kazi, they are fcuking pants and look like ****r except the k800 which i soon fell out with with its fiddliness.

I agree with the joystick issue and also the goddamn internet button being so close to a function button. It does it again and i am smashing the piece of crap.

The camera is only good due to sony's cybershot technology.

Never have a SE phone again. Within 2 weeks mine died on me and i had to have it re-flashed. Piece of crap

How many megapix is the camera and how much was it?

206 views and 17 replies...we obviously have some boys on here who dont get any play LMFAO!! :D

Dont skimp by paying less but at the same time dont pay too much. See their work first and then you will be able to judge accordingly.

Just remind us why you bought a Lexus and then explain to us why you are determined to bodge it up rather than repair it?

PS about 50 quid is a fair price for a straight recharge.

I agree 100%

Its all the Avensis owners that have now upgraded and bought an is200 since they have come down in price lol! :D

Still want to be cheap b@stards though.
