    TGIF for me!!

    I am going to the American Carnage tour on wensday in Denver. Bring on the Slayer, Megadeth, and Testement.(rumors of Anthrax) :rocking:

    Sounds like fun, my son is envious.

    I will admit I am starting to feel my age, I got my ass beat at the Gwar show earlier this year. And yes I have floor tickets for this show, SO I will remember to eat my Wheaties.

    I have a lot of respect for the older guys who will hang with the kids on the floor at shows, it gets pretty hairy sometimes.

    Ya mosh pits can get pretty crazy.

    One of my buddies broke somebodies noes in one lol

    I need to go see another good concert

    in the next year or 2 I plan on buying a Tacoma Crew Cab Long bed

    probably be around the 08' model or so

    I still got alot more research to do, I did do a lil that's when I found out that the nissan frontier doesn't have a crew cab long bed anymore. Am i correct in my findings?

    Why a mini man truck? If you're looking for some kind of dune hopping thingy I guess it might make sense.

    Buy your flavor of american well made and low cost to fix pick 'em ups :coughFORDcough:. If there is something the US knows how to do it's make a GD pickup truck.

    I dunno man. I will look into it but i doubt i will go full size, i just really don't know right now. I plan to make the purchase probably in ~2 years or so.

    Just looking at my options. The only thing i have to pull right now is my lil 16' john boat, that also needs to be fixed as well...

    FORD My 250 never gave me problems is good truck just not on gas

    thats the one thing i want some decent gas mileage.

    but with a truck i know its a losing battle

    A good friend of mine gets 21 MPG in his f-350 and he DRIVES hard. No stoplight racing but hauls on the highway and tows at least 2 times a week. Sure it's deisel but that's 6 more MPG than I get in the expedition.

    Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Extended Cab 6' Bed 4.8L

    Mileage 14/19

    Payload 1875

    Towing 6700

    Chevrolet Colorado Extended Cab 6' Bed 3.7L

    Mileage 17/23

    Payload 1741

    Towing 5579

    Ford F-150 SuperCab 4x2 6' Bed 4.6L 3v

    Mileage 15/21

    Payload 1680

    Towing 6800

    Ford Ranger SuperCab 4x2 6' Bed 4.0L

    Mileage 15/21

    Payload ????(Can't Find Info)

    Towing 5940

    Toyota Tundra Double Cab 4x2 6' Bed 4.6L

    Mileage 15/20

    Payload 1535

    Towing 8100

    Toyota Tacoma Access Cab 4x2 6' Bed 4.0L

    Mileage 17/21

    Payload 1415

    Towing 6500

    I just dont really know at this point guys. I got a lil while to think about it.

    I know for one it wont be a diesel and wont be over a 1500, and i dont know about the ford aspect... never been a ford guy...

    Also my needs are to pull small boat, and move some things.

    dem beats, was it you who suggested ~1g protein per pound of body weight for lifting? you sure that's right? based on what I saw at the store that equates to a ~1,200 calorie 64 ounce shake :peepwall:

    I've always heard that much protein...

    I've heard that much as well, but I've also read that .6 to .9x body weight in protein is good enough also. Though I'm really not sure how much I intake. Let's see.

    Cereal- 5g

    16 oz. milk in the cereal- 16g

    hard boiled egg- 6g

    1/4 lb deli meat in lunch sandwich- ~22g

    cheese on sandwich- 5g

    Fruit & nut bar- 8g

    protein shake w. milk- 30g

    supper meat- ~40g

    miscellaneous protein in other supper ingredients- 5g

    That gets me to about 137g. I weigh 190, so that's a multiple of 0.72. Not bad. Could probably get a bit more.

    Let me preface everything that I say here is that it's under the assumption that someone is a pretty active person who does a moderate amount of resistance training. By that I'm saying you lift-to-failure(or extremely cose) your muscles with concentric and eccentric resistance several times a week.

    Well, I say 1 gram per pound of "desired" body weight is the optimal starting point. so if you want to be 200 lbs, then 200 grams of protein per day. That would only be 800 kcal. Then thing is unless you're staving yourself from carbs to some degree the protein will be used for muscle building and maintenance. So.... the kcal don't really equate to energy or actual kcal the way you would normally count them. If you want to be 250 then 250 grams of protein or 1000 kcal. Again though, it's not like it will be burned for energy unless you put yourself into a a state where you're body needs it through some form of specific starvation.

    Best bet is to consume no more than 50 grams of protein in one sitting, and then wait ~2.5 hours to eat more. So if you're eating to be 250 then I would suggest 6 meals of 41.xxx grams spaced evenly over the day.

    Lost of guys I know need less, most guys I have helped are at 1 gram or more. I also don't know too many guys who could be 250 pounds lean.

    Just make sure you drink lots of water.

    You'd have to be fairly tall or fairly bulky for 250 lean; I'm 6'0" 243 (no, that is not bulk, unfortunately; BF%++) and I'm barely fitting into my 36 pants and XL t-shirts :lol:

    Right now I've just started mixing a pint of milk with two scoops of protein powder...stuff...following each lifting session, ~65g all told. I only lift 3 times a week so I probably won't see much in the way of results for a while...we'll see

    Eh 5'10 210 and 20% BF...........38 jeans and xl shirts (when I left AZ)............Goal is to be back down around 33" jeans and about 10% bf or so when I redeploy. I think with good diet, exercise and sleep I can do it.

    Plus I walk damn near everywhere, and 110* or higher in long sleeves, pants, boos and t-shirt is no joke.

    Also, if you really, REALLY wanna sweat, go take a shit at about 2 pm in a porta shitter in this heat. Talk about sweat ur fuckin ass off. Feels like u just got done showering.

    J

    Agreed done that a couple of times with the job. On new construction sites, u should see all the trash that is written on those prot a can walls

    Lemme put it this way.............Took a shit around 3 pm today. Was in there for under 10 minutes............Walked out looking like I just got out of the shower. By this I mean face DRENCHED, hair SOAKED, shirt COMPLETELY soaked through. So yea its not fun. Especially when todays the high was 125*

    man i drop and go. hopefully im only in there for 3 minutes tops!

    is been mid to upper 90s here but we got all the humidity u want!

    You guys are funny.

    I don't have a garage spot yet, so I can't buy shit.

    My whole life I've enjoyed test driving whatever I could that was fun, don't see why that should stop.

    On the other hand, the instant I don't have a car and a truck I'll need something fast so being prepared isn't such a bad idea. In particular since nearly everything I am looking at will require a plane ticket I don't really want to go through the courtship with the actual car I am buying, just one nearly identical to it.

    Plus this is the hop.

    OCD lmao
