    Gain Weight and Muscle

    I did. 180cm, ~58kg. Better than being fat I guess. Those biceps are disgusting, makes me want to munt xD Only reason I was doing 5kg weights is that I didn't have access to anything else. Will stick to exercises without weights now.

    Should we care about whaling?

    It's completely different. Whales were recently endangered and we are trying to boost their population. In comparison, pigs are an introduced species here. Not to mention that there is a rampant wild pig problem in Northern/Central Australia. That said I don't really give a shit about the...

    Gain Weight and Muscle

    Ok, I've decided on my course of action. Exercise: I'm going to continue as before with the cycling, someone wrote here that it's contradictory to what I want, which it is, but I do also want some general fitness and I think it's good to have a warm up before I start. I'm going to focus on...

    Haha, I'm quite similar diet wise - I can eat whatever I want and however much I want without any noticeable bad effect. Maybe I'll just continue doing that with a more conscious focus on protein. I'll have to either just research as many compound exercises you can do with my own weight or...

    Cheers for the advice :) Just stalked some of your posts in the fitness area. We actually seem to be pretty similar, although I'm taller. Do you still weigh ~ low 60's? I also don't eat seafood and ham, haha. Reckon you could recommend a particular diet, work out regime? Thanks.

    Gain Weight and Muscle

    Thanks guys, all very helpful, especially quik's thread. I only own the 5kg weights and don't really have time/money to go to a gym. Can anyone suggest some compound exercises apart from pull ups which don't require equipment? Will dig the blender out of the cupboard and start my protein...

    Gain Weight and Muscle

    Cheers for the advice. Will increase the number of curls I'm doing and do more push-ups. How does lengthening the amount of time you curl the dumbbell help? Also, anyone have more advice on the diet? I know the obvious stuff, like have more protein, but what's the best form, and is there...

    Gain Weight and Muscle

    Was quite fit prior to VCE but pretty much stopped all exercise apart from one or two 30 min cycling sessions a week and random light weight sessions for 2 years. I'm quite underweight as I have a fast metabolism (although I don't look particularly skinny) - I'm 180cm and weigh 56-59kg (my...

    What Excercise Did You Do Today?

    Stationary bike for 20 mins then upper body light weights with lots of reps for 30 mins. Have no fat on me at all and have above average fitness, just need to turn it all to muscle. Now that I'm finished school I finally have the time to buff up xD

    smh: new light on where money goes for private schools

    Yes. And where private schools which do not need government funding are receiving it, I would challenge this. However money doesn't grow on trees and I doubt the government would be prone to too much frivolous spending. I'm sure most of the money goes where it's needed.

    smh: new light on where money goes for private schools

    Just an argument for the existence of private schools, which in turn need Government funding to survive. They cannot facilitate their own funding, that's the thing. Many private schools fall short every year. I went to a (smaller) private school and it was in dire financial straits, saved only...

    smh: new light on where money goes for private schools

    Private schools and even home schooling provide an alternate avenue of education. Many private schools have their own agenda; most often religion, but there are now arising a number of private schools that focus on particular areas, like John Marsden's school which focuses on writing and others...

    smh: new light on where money goes for private schools

    Some of the nicest people I know come from private schools whereas I know of countless dickheads and bitches who go to public schools. I'm sure the above applies vice versa. These arguments are all making pointless generalisations. The topic is about government funding to private schools, not...
