    What're you lifting right now?

    My usual set of say, dumbell press goes as follows: Max of 12 reps, if i can make it to 12 i go up a weight bracket, aiming to max out at around 8-10 reps and 3 sets at the highest weight (28kg right now, 30's i can usually only get 6 good reps out of). I do need to do more core so i might...

    Dr. Ben Carson...hope nobody gets too pissed off

    Well no, i mean its not just identifying and prohibiting those with major mental illness from acquiring fireams, but also having someone who regularly visits them, ie a mental health nurse, who ensures they stay on their meds and if they have any psychotic breaks (say; thoughts of shooting...

    Old Style Gunshops

    Here in Oz your local gunsmith is everything, seller, repairman, sage advice. We have a few "gun marts" out in the fringe suburbs but any shooter worth their salt wont go near em.

    Why such a stigma with California gun owners??

    From an outside perspecive it sounds like the hate isnt directed toward Cali gun owners, but to their situation. I wouldnt sell you canned beans if it meant i could get in trouble for doing it unknowingly especially with the legal maze that is firearms and US state-specific laws.

    Gunsmithing A shop teacher's nightmare. . .

    The local Bunnings (see; home depot) sells those electric spark plug clicker things for mozzie bites in the same aisle as the poly pipe. Marketing genius.

    Dr. Ben Carson...hope nobody gets too pissed off

    Dr. Ben Carson...hope nobody gets too pissed off i never said anything about criminals and taking away your guns. That'd require background checks and firearm registration, and perhaps requiring firearms owners to secure their firearms and ammunition, which i am well aware is something US...

    What're you lifting right now?

    Alrighty. Mate of mine did this on a FB group we had for our mates who hit the gym together, thought i might bring it over here since im getting back on the forum and shooting, and on top of my fitness. It's like a motivation/brag thread. Post your current PB's, and when you want to best...

    Looking for simple weight exercises

    If you're looking to drop weight/fat, i take "EHPLabs OxyShred" (ignore the directions, 1 scoop in the morning is all i take). Helps me feel full during the day and I have noticed my weight loss started faltering when i stopped taking it. As for Preworkouts, i have no idea and most of them are...

    Gym Pet-Peeves

    Dunno what it's like in the US, but here in Australia; When the footy season finishes and every one of them packs the freeweights area spending 2/3 their time talking and hogging benches, getting 'shredded' for Stereo/Future and act all weird when the gym manager kindly tells them to start...

    Dr. Ben Carson...hope nobody gets too pissed off

    Dr. Ben Carson...hope nobody gets too pissed off Fili. Coming from the medical field (though from a different country and discipline), i think its hard for people to go from being a doctor to a politician. A doctor goes by science, what is proven is fact and they stand by it regardless of...

    Dr. Ben Carson...hope nobody gets too pissed off

    Its a multifaceted issue. One of the big things the US could do to stop those with mental illness aquiring guns is universal primary healthcare- that way people with serious mental illness (Personality disorders, Schizophrenia ect) would at least be identified and therefore authorities could do...

    You ever got someone a gun as a gift?

    Bought my old man a Tikka T3 Lite in .223 as a thank-you gift. To me its no different to any other gift. Dad likes his guns and prefers functional presents, so i got him a gun that was functional for his needs. If he didnt like functional presents or guns i'd have got him something else. Its...

    Fwiw

    Also darkside if you look, most McDonalds/Subway/WhateveryouhaveintheUS salads and "healthy" options can be just as bad for you. Juices being the prime example.

    Fwiw

    ^ Preaching. I cut "junk" from my diet (not so hard here in oz given our more stringent health laws and higher fresh food supply), but my food bill easily went up about 20% Seriously one of the biggest (pun intended) issues facing western society is gluttony and laziness when it comes to food...

    Is it worth it to accurize a Ruger M77?

    Re: Is it worth it to accurize a Ruger M77? Nope. For the cost you'd incur you may as well go with something with a better history of accuracy. Like you stated, you're on a Budget. The 700 platform is excellent, due to the number of aftermarket upgrades, and you can build on it a couple of...

    So getting off my ass and doing something.

    Always been a fatty. Never stopped me really, but recently realised how unfit i was and went on a no-carb diet. Dropped a fair bit without lifting a finger aside from changing my diet. Now i'm going back on it. This time i'm planning to chop in more exercise. I don't really want to gym it since...
