  1. In that sense I agree with you! You don't need to do that much cardio to lean up haha Impressive gains!
  2. After a certain time when training, cortisol is released whatever exercises you're doing. HIIT cardio improves explosive strength and CV fitness over a short time spent actually doing the exercise, limiting cortisol release (I assume you know this as you mention sprints). You also get more mobility of joints, strengthening them and like I said above, better circulation throughout the body I'm aware that weight training has it's CV benefits, and yes more muscle mass will increase basal metabolic rate. But ruling out cardio is a bit of a waste of time; adding contrasting exercises eg cardio into strength training regimes will only help improve recovery time and performance. I study physiology and all the rest of this malarkey at uni lol I'm not knocking strength training, I actually prefer it But I'd always vouch for including cardio in a strength training programme even if it isn't a great deal. The amount it should be done depends from person to person of course
  3. Don't know why you'd say avoid cardio, it's a great way to improve fitness. Medium intensity cardio improves circulation and therefore oxygenation/nutrition for muscles. Then there's additional benefits for your heart, improved cardiac output will allow you to lift more, and for longer. Obviously how much you want to do will vary on goals and how easily one can build muscle, but not to do it at all is a bit of a waste given the benefits
  4. Shows how far UKSO has come in such a short time! Well done members and of course staff
  5. I was juggling between the Starlet and Yaris in my head haha, knew you'd done it on one of them!
  6. I think it was LukEp who used another Toyota wheel on his Glanza?
  7. There's usually the M1 crew starting in Lincs(?)
  8. Told you tracking would make a big difference
  9. It's funny when my NA is dirty it doesn't get many looks, but when it's clean I get some everytime I go out guaranteed haha. Looks so much nicer when it's gleaming!
  10. Big congrats! We need updates on the Teg
  11. They've already been modified to fit and condition is excellent, the price is fair but I'll listen to offers
  12. Fook it, just paid! Unsure whether I'll be able to make it but may as well get a stand ticket just in case I can!
  13. Sort normal diet out first before you go taking supplements. Whey is good for post-workout, don't bother with pre-workout until you have been training for a while. It's unlikely you'll hit plateau's so quickly. Creatine is also very good after you've been training for some time Training hard, eating & resting well>supplements
  14. Nice one! I've heard TD04 is better too, I'm constantly on boost in my CT9 and it likes to drink haha
  15. Niice! How's the economy?
  16. I think it was broken (or sold on)
  17. Grid Drifts are 8j, I think they're probably 195/45 going by what other people using those wheels have run
  18. 195 on an 8J is fine, I'll be running the same. Drifters go round bends sideways at silly speeds on stretched tyres, as long as it's nothing silly you shouldn't have problems I'd have thought
  19. I'm surprised noone has mentioned my name yet lol High 5!
  20. Yeah I see what you mean it covers some of the bumper rather than lowering it more. Sucks that there's no decent NA aftermarket bumpers about. I know of MS designs kit but it reminds me of Corsas! Remix is nice but it's been done several times! If I was gonna convert my NA, I would get this done. It works so well IMO
  21. Cool cool, he'll have the bird's eye view to help haha
  22. It's rare, but quite ugly! I reckon you should go for a TTE lip! None on the scene in the UK mainland!
