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.

    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
    • I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD. 
    • The pinchweld is fine, even with a trolley jack, so long as you're not actually pushing on the pinchweld itself. More to the point, we shouldn't talk about lifting or supporting on the pinchweld, we should talk about using the sill "jacking points", which just happen to be adjacent to the pinchweld. I just have dense rubber blocks with grooves in them for each of the chassis stands and the trolley jack, that I use at the sill jacking points if/when I have to lift/support there. They put all the load onto the steel pad of the jacking point and not the pinchweld. As intended.
    • Makes sense.  I would do something different if I felt like there was a better option. Generally the only other area I'm happy to jack on is where I want to put the stand. The pinch weld is not an option for me for either the jack or stands, so very limited options overall.  Plus never having had an issue with doing this, has kinda reinforced in my mind that it's fine. I'd do it on any car without a second thought these days lol.
