Told you so Dan.

Matt is one of the Top 10 lifters in Oz

Spending money getting taught by a proper strength coach is the best thing you can do if you are serious about improving your lifts.

Look forward to reading about your progress

To say I was surprised is an understatement.

Not that I doubted what you were saying Markos, moreso that I doubted I could do it given what I thought of my back and ankle.

Based on how I feel today, my back and ankle must be stronger than I gave them credit for.

Initially my goal for this year, as in year starting October when I busted my leg, was to squat and DL BW for reps and get those areas more balanced with the bench. I'm confident I can do that and will have to pick some new goals for the remainder of the year.

Really good to hear the session was worth it Dan! Good shit :) Similarly, even without the coaching, I was blown away when I managed to pull 175kg at ~72kg body weight. Nothing compared to the PTC lifters, but I just didn't think it was really possible to do with remotely decent form at my size.

Go as high as you want man; it's about you, not impressing others or meeting their expectations. People will always be more concerned with their own lifts than others anyway. Improvement can be addictive though.

Dan, over 250 clients at my gym have pulled over 200kg, only around 15% compete, the other 85% are just like you and everyone else on this forum, only stronger lol

In time, you will pull 200kg

Good goal

At all? wtf?

I've had... Banana, apple, rolled oats, a few cups of tea, some saladas, home made chicken and veg soup for lunch, plus the aforementioned suffer in your jocks everyone else donuts.

Edited by ActionDan

I've had 1x regular skim flat white (320ml total, 2 shots espresso) and 1x jumbo skim flat white (470ml total, 3 shots espresso), and a multivitamin. Apparently that comes to somewhere around 245 cal.

C'mon man, lack of food is affecting you. I said "At all? wtf? " There's two question marks in there.. Get on board :D

Well you're forked in the head my friend. Going a day without eating is just plain wrong.

Are you some kind of masochist?

Please tell me you're only kidding and you're not in just as much denial about human nutrition and dieting methods as Birds is lol

I'd argue being overweight by eating complete shit is a better definition of being masochistic. Hell, even just eating "bad" food like your donuts is worse.

Going a day without eating is only good for you, short of being lethargic and grumpy.

lol nah you're missing the point entirely.

I enjoy eating food, not doing it is painful, to do that intentionally is the definition of masochism.

I didn't say anything about it being good or bad nutritionally, I give no f**ks for that.

I'm a simple man Troy, food good, no food bad.

Troy not eat food? Bad Troy.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
