Tiger

Hey all. I'd like to take this opportunity to invite you all to a new car audio based competition. This is a new format that I've put together (withe the assistance of MEA administration) to create a whole new level of fun competition. I present to you... Bass Battle! And the event? I host the Bass Battle events personally, so even if you're not keen on competing... come up and say hi eitherway :)

Congratulations to Jarrad and Mel and I wish them and the new addition all the good health (and luck! :P) that follows with the joys of parenthood :)

:blinks: :rolls: EEEEH WELL.

^^^ As mentioned, always remember to ground (or earth) to the chassis/body of the car... If I can recall corectly on these models, the light puprle with the red tracer wire was your accessories wire and your constant (which I also stress... FUSE it), was red. I may be wrong. But if you see these wire, splice into them and test them with a test light ($5 from Jaycar!)

Boys/Girls... I've had an emergency come up (VERY unexpected) which I'm not exactly thrilled about. I'll have to give this one a miss. My apologies and I'll will NEED to make this up to you all for the absence. Hope everyone has fun tonight and I hope the rain doesn't hit you all tonight. :paw:

HAHAHAHA! Yeah, that was a while back :) Looking forward to it. No doubt, there'll be some stories to exchange ;)

Should be interesting to see how far these meets have come.... since I organised Rollaclub's first BBQ day for Vic members; which you can see HERE. :) Put me down, boys :paw:

Nobs.. yell out if you want a hand doing this, dude! You forget who used to do what you do now 3 years ago :lolcry: And CONGRATS on the wedding :lovin: enjoy the honeymoon too :lol:

Well well... need more details for this Nobs... you can shed some light on this one please Good and bad news if all goes well.... Good news... I should be there :y: Bad news.... not in a Rolla... I'll be in a "AE92 SX wanna be" aka "N13 Pulsar Q Hatch" hahahaha BUT... will I have audio equipment to show off in there... well... time will tell :wink: That way it'll put to rest any whispers of Tiger not knowing his s**t about audio when I don't have a car with anything it it! :no2:

:bash:

My pleasure, mate. You've just motivated me to get back into things again! I slackened off these last 3 months. I love working on shoulders! My favorite workout. Very intense and so many variations, it's ridiculous. I could've kept reeling off all these other exercises, but see how you go with all these. And another thing.... nothing more than 45 minutes in the gym. Anything more and your body goes into a catabolic state and starts to source your muscles for protein required. Not good. Have something an hour before you work out (to eat) and have a shake straigt after work out. Lots of fruit.... and drink warm water during the day. Like, kettle water cooled down a little. It's a natural flush and very good for the body. put a splash of lemon through it and it's very good for your metabolism too.

oh yeah.. and if you want to be ripped... low weight and high reps. (10-15 per set) to bulk up and increase your strength.... high weight and low reps. (6-8 per set)

Hey dude... good to see someone wanting to get buff around here. If you have not done much weights work for a while, I'd be suggesting to do some core strength exercising first. If you wanna concentrate on your chest, 3 to 4 sets of diamond pushups (or close grip pushups, as they are sometimes called), and same applies to normal pushups. You can do incline pushups, with your feet elevated, but hands on the floor (this does the top part of your pecs; which isn't an easy part to build). If yo can find yourself an area to do dips... do 3 sets to failure. if there isn't an area to do dips... do bench dips... 3 sets to failure. Your tris won't forgive you for them now, but they'll thank you for it later. For your back, do wide grip chin up. This will do SO much for your core strength and give you the ever-so-desired "V" shape. These are NOT easy and I found when I started doing these, I was only punching out maybe 3 sets of 2 (struggling on the last set). I done them every 2nd-3rd day and within weeks, I was doing 3 sets of 10 unassisted and my back BLEW right up. Crunches, leg raisers and bicycle crunches do your abs (also cardio and diet) For your legs, squats, calf raises and lunges is PLENTY! With the weights... you've got your Zed-Bar (the not so straight one you were talking about). If you want blown up bi's, do what we call 24s! Grab the z-bar and go a light weight. Because you are going to do 4 sets of 24 reps with a difference. The first 8 reps, start from your arms down and curl the bar up to being level with your belt and back down again. On the 8th rep, curl the bar to level with your belt and curl up all the way to your chest and back down to the level of your belt... then then the last 8 reps.... all the way down and all the way up. THIS WILL set your biceps on fire! I gained about 3 inches in 2 months doing this. Also, concentrated curls with your dumbbells are good. For your triceps, grab the zed bar again and get to your benching area. Do skullcrushers and close grip bench presses. Chest... grab your flat bar and do 3-4 sets for flat bench, inclined bench and declined bench presses. Simple enough. You can do flies in the same manner as yourbench presses. Shoulders... you can do military presses with the flat bar (standing up and lift from off your chest and above your head), or you can do upright rows with the Zed-bar (standing exercises, bar in both hands and close grip the bar on this angle / \ and lift up to your chin,keeping the bar close to your body, and back down again). Another one for your shoulders are dumbbell raises. You can do these front on for your front delts, side on for your middle delts and you can sit on a bench, lean forward with your legs closed in front of you. With the weights underneath your legs, grab the dumbbells and raises your arms... concentrate on squeezing your rear shoulders and upper traps though. Also.. dumbbell or straightbar shrugs... that'll work on your traps and help remove the look of actually having a neck and looking like Goldberg from WWE! hahaha If you want me to clear up what I've written so far... ask away and I'll explain things a bit better. These were half the exercises I done and unfortunately, I injured my right tricep going too hard and i have only just started back again at the gym. In the meantime... i lost my size from the 4 months I worked out and I was 86kg and muscle. I'm looking for 90kg and muscle for my height. And supplements... I take Muscletech gear. NitroTech is the protein poweder and Celltech is a creatine formula. If you want quick recovery, get yourself some L-Glutamine... that stuff rocks! But of ALL things..... stretch before and after... even when you don't work out... just stretch as this defines your muscles and makes them more pliable too. Hope this gives you a kick start :bash: Enjoy...

Well... you scored yourself a virgin KE30 at least and that's the main thing.. now... time for the violations! :bash: And your mates car is tough as nuts! What's in that thing?

Take it easy on Richy in the back, dude! :bash: hahahahaha. Best of luck dude... very professional approach :)
