    Sports injuries

    Crushed big toe, 1 broken finger, 4 fractured fingers, broken scaphoid, bruised skull above the eye- all from playing cricket. Currently a complete ACL rupture. Good fun.

    ACL Rehab

    Anyone have post-op issues with straightening out the knee? Had the surgery Tuesday using the hammy, everything went well- still on painkillers. It's the most sore in the mornings. Had my first physio session on Friday, said I pulled up well but need to work on straightening my knee otherwise...

    ACL Rehab

    Does anyone have any first hand experience using LARS? I've got either option at the moment, leaning towards LARS but it'll cost me an extra $3500. Recovery time would be much quicker and I'll be 100% for the start of cricket season, but a couple people I've spoken too have reservations about...

    Appreciate all the advice. Helps me heaps. I'll keep the thread updated after my MRI and Surgical consult next week, hopefully get some more feedback and early stages rehab tips. Cheers,

    ACL Rehab

    Thanks guys, Looks like I have to just be patient with it. That's going to be the biggest hurdle for me. I'm not one to not do anything for extended periods of time. Grennan- that's my main concern, I don't want to develop any bad lifestyle habits that will take ages to get over. Starting...

    ACL Rehab

    Hey guys, I'm curious to know if anyone here has done an ACL before? I've ruptured my ACL, PCL, Medials and torn my Calf muscle Wednesday night playing Indoor Footy, not liking the shock of not being able to do anything. Got the MRI Monday to confirm all this, consultation with the surgeon...

    Injuries & General Stupidity.

    Easy. Drunk off my face a few years back, walking on Collins Street. Tripped over myself, face first into the pavement. Fractured Cheekbone. Broken Scaphoid. Black Eye for Days. Now I make sure someone holds my hand when I stagger around the city.

    AFL - Sledge your opposition.

    So normally I'd avoid threads like this but it must be said.....I think Essendon supporters are the outright most abusive towards Umpires of all teams.....and I've had Collingwood supporters ejected and threaten me outside the G. I'm a life-long North supporter btw. On Saturday Night, in the...

    70kg? When I'm in Perth in May I'm buying you two Scotch Fillet Steaks!! Wow-wee lol. As for me, I had seized joints in my back in January and haven't been able to train for 4 weeks, only just got back into my routine 2 weeks ago. Been watching a lot of Max's Muscle TV, I've stripped all the...

    unusual pets.

    I had 2 pet turtles that were given to me as a gift from my cousin in Canberra. When I tried to register them with the council they told me it was illegal to have turtles as pets in Victoria, so I had to give them back to my cousin. Pity they were quite interesting to observe.....

    Double standards at the cricket.

    I suppose if we dig deeper from a cricket point of view, I mean how many concessions has the Western powers (England, Australia, South Africa etc.) made to allow sub-continent teams to get a fair go? How many rules have been changed to cater for them.....let's all not forget Muralitharan (sic)...

    Double standards at the cricket.

    It's more to do with the racism card that a lot of the sub-continent teams play. It's an easy out for them and something that runs in the community a lot. Like myself, I'm born and raised Australian, consider myself Australian and am dead-proud to be able to call myself Australian. But my...

    So you reckon try floor presses for my next session and see if that helps?? Do it for a couple sessions and then go back to Bench??

    Anyone have any tips to get over the Bench Press Plateau?? I've had this for the last 3 sessions, dropped the weights today down to 50/65/80kg (normally 60/80/105) but still struggled to finish the sets, even with mesomorph. For instance, today I struggled to get through 12 @ 50, and could only...

    [VIC] Car Depreciation

    That sounds about right- the plethora of Commodores and Falcons on the market (Fleet, etc) means prices will inevitably be lower to get a sale. I remember on Top Gear they were discussing that an Aston Martin DB9 loses half its value in the first two years!

    Haha its all a facade mate, low-Carb means it still has Carbs!! I didn't drink for 7 months, makes a world of difference. I just binge now, a couple times a month. Easier on the back pocket as well.

    [VIC] Car Depreciation

    From a financial point of view- depreciation is the amount of 'value' consumed during the useful life of an asset. So it really is very difficult to consider a car purchase based on depreciation, because as mentioned, the factors involved in purchasing a car can alter the value: --> Km's...

    Mate I do Military Press on a 3-D Smith Machine, seated. I usually use a little step-up bench to put my feet on so I'm not pushing through the floor. And I do it in front of the face, and allow the bar to come to my nose/upper lip. I suppose there are different techniques but this works...

    Well- you see I classify Military Press and Shoulder Press as the same- although I suppose people segregate by saying Military is standing up and Shoulder Press is sitting. If you look at it that way I Shoulder Press not Military Press, so its 95kg on the Shoulder Press

    Did a clear 95kg military press, 8-rep set. Before I could only get an 8-rep set on about 80kg.... Can't wait to see what I can deadlift with it. Go for 200kg I think! Not sure if I'm allowed to do this but I got mine from Supplements | Body Building Supplements | Protein Powder | Australia...

    Just quietly, I can't believe I ever worked out without Mesomorph. That **** is the most ####in incredible stuff I have ever used. The bloody pump I've been getting and the results after just 5 days of use, is ####in amazing. I love the **** so much, I think I might put a ring on it!

    Insurance pay

    As long as you've informed them of any modification, and you have proof of the fact that you have informed them of this (print out of quote etc.) you're fine. If you haven't, there may decline your claim on this basis. Nothing to do with law, wheel sizes and the like. That's a Roadworthy issue...

    Never buy a car sight unseen! I've heard nothing but trouble stories with them, no matter how good the deal maybe. The only thing I can think of is ask him which HSV dealer he had serviced at, and call said dealer. Otherwise, just get it checked by a mechanic and maybe do a AANT Vehicle...

    Question about Tyre Wear

    If any mechanics/tyre people can help that would be great. Had a quick look at my old man's car yesterday (2002 Avalon) and saw that the two left tyres were worn quite considerably more than the two right ones. Is this a wheel balance or alignment issue, or something to do potentially with...

    I don’t understand.

    The issue is that the Lawyers that are hired to represent this scum have a responsibility to provide a fair and reasonable trial...i.e. make the defendant look like a victim as much as possible. And the precedents that are set as a result just contradict a lot of our Legal System, therefore you...

    What car(s) will be your next?

    For the money you pay the HSV range gives you everything that you would pay 6 figures for elsewhere. It's a no brainer really, like Reap said, one of the few remaining genuine sports cars with a proper manual, the power-to-price ratio is probably the best NA on the market, can take 3 massive...
