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.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
