3000km apart must make things difficult, but the reunions all the more fun.

think you said earlier that your body type is more ectomorph then anything else yeah?

I won't lie, it's frikken hard...but she's worth it :)

Yes my body type is ectomorph. Training for years has, however, given me some mesomorph-like traits; I can very easily gain or lose weight.

I remember being 80kg too......in high school, At my best I was 25 and weighed in at 110kg with 3% body fat, I know what im taking about for my body and I guess everyone has diff results on diff diets.

Ive only just started going back to the gym after 2 years off with the new business venture and a baby, but I assure you eating bread is not helping your body reach its full potential and if your only doing 4 hours or excersice per week and have a six pack that just means your skinny and your metabolism burns fat faster than 80% of other people.

I dare anyone to come train with me now, I think even after 2 years off I could still lift quite well.

Birdy im not hating on bread but those carbs you talk about as energy is better taken from other foods where the body works differently to extract the energy, and if you had the same amount of carbs from better food your workout would be far more intense.

Again I invite anyone to come train with me for a night, Ill prove through my workout Im not talking shit.

It doesn't matter...you said bread won't allow you a six pack...I'm proof that it can. Yes I could get bigger or stronger with a better diet, but I love every single meal I eat and never feel like I'm restricting myself. Yet I'm also what many would consider fairly strong with a decent looking body to boot.

Can have my cake and eat it too :)

Got any pics of 3% and 110kg? That's quite a heavy weight for the bf, I'd love to see it.

No mention of height or what your goal was or what you lifted, so this could very well be absolute fail city if you weren't squatting over 200 and DL'ing WELL over 200.

Even still, not everybody is out to get "big" some people want to be ripped, some people want to be big and give no f**ks for definition, some people want to be strong and give no f**ks for looks.

All are acceptable goals.

If we can avoid the pissing contest that would be ace.

To be fair, you walked into this thread, with a bunch of guys (and Leesh) who at least talk shit to each other on the regular, and started kicking sand around, that's not going to win you any friends even if what you say is fully or partially correct.

I also think Birds is too skinny, but he has a look he wants and he's going for that. Even if my lifts were better than his it would still be fine for him to aim for whatever goal he wanted using whatever diet.

Nah im not throwing sand lol, just sharing my 10 years of trial and error. I actually just want to help you but you do whatever you want in the end, its not up to me what you put in your body. and for the record im 178cm tall or 5ft 10

It's cool dude, everyone is entitled to an opinion and for lots of us it's trial an error, unless you train with Markos then it's just success success success :D

3% does seem low though, DEXA scan I assume?

110kg @ 3%

As a reference, in Pumping Iron, Arnold weighed 235lb, thats 106kg, maybe 6%

Im well aware of arnods size and measurements and bf % was much lower than 6% i assure you.

And again Im happy to go do a workout with anyone in SA at my gym, and in about 8 months time i should be back to where I was 2 years ago, I think one of my close friends has a few photos of me back then ill try and find them if you really need to see them.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
