Troy - I meant heading towards skinny.

A mate from another forum was 85kg and lean.. but wanted to get to single digits, so cut some more..

got to single digits but still wanted to get even tighter around the lower abs and obliques (he already was but at this stage he was well on his way to his problem.)

got down to 78kg and was lean as.

then, just like you say, he wanted to hold on to it, so stayed away from certain foods, just basically went to the extreme with food, training, sleep, timing of when he eats and what, timing around lifting, rest, duration or sets etc etc.

Anyway, he dissapeared off the forums for about 4 months and made a return.

When he came back online, he eventualy posted a thread titled "Guys, I've got a problem"

he told his story as above and then said that he'd been sick and then said he was 43kg and posted a picture.

I shit you not, it was a scary sight.

a skeleton of a man.

a long 18 months later he was back to a light 70kg.

he had to see a psychologist 3 times a week, a nutritionist 2 times a week and his doctor once a week.

for months they tried to get his blood work to how it should be for his age, but his body was f**ked up and wouldn't produce hormones like youd expect a mid 20's guy who used to lift.

Eventually had to be put on TRT.

It took him AGES to get his mind right and stop seeing himself as fat (even when he was around 50kg)

He is now 95kg, has benched close to 150, squats 200 and deadlifts 240

and is still fairly lean.

long story but I'm sure you can see some similarities from the story to what goes through your head.

Be careful mate.

Mitch - Do I need to remind you how to fix that?

f**k, full on story. In the end was the problem in his head or did he actually have a physiological condition?

I believe the problem in his head lead to him breaking his body through horrid training and eating habits...so a bit of both really lol

yeah.. what started off as a quest for more definition, lead to not eating, then getting sick and then worrying about getting fat and then more not eating.

it's not like he went nuts... he was still ok to talk to etc, but always made excuses when people were like "hey come over for a pizza and a movie"

Just a trap some personalities could fall in to.

Am I alone here in preferring to be that middle point in fat % ?

As in, core definition is decent, but you're not looking really tight.

Plenty of people seem to feel that way, though on these forums specifically maybe not so much, since we don't have many people here to gather opinions from and only a few of us are really training for appearance.

I see what you mean...I highly doubt I'd ever have such problems as that, and should I ever head towards it I can be absolutely certain I'd recognise what's happening rather than miss the problem and think there's nothing wrong.

Dinner last night was going to be 500g steak with a buttload of wedges, but unfortunately I discovered I no longer had wedges in the freezer :( so I replaced them with some veggies then had a cup of oats with honey for desert lol. f**k it.

I think the only real problem I DO have is that I really can't stand feeling physically bloated or just remotely uneasy in the gut, but this is only caused from certain things. Even if I have 1 tablespoon of organic peanut butter I get this weird feeling in my stomach, like it just doesn't sit right. However I can eat a disgustingly large amount of roast lamb with all the starchy sides followed by a heap of cake or something, and not have this same feeling...though of course I'll be ready to explode by the time I'm done.

It's not like I eat something bad and feel "fat", it's that I eat just a particular food and don't like the way my gut feels lol

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
