Good news on my abdomen, it seems I only tore some muscles and not another hernia, no heavy lifting for a while though.

So today I started some GVT, day 1 was chest and middle back, 10 x 10 of DB bench followed but 1 arm row for mains.

As I haven't done a lot of volume for a while 100 reps of each although with a light weight I am feeling it now.

3 months of this should be interesting.

I'll drop in my program once I've been through it and am happy with it.

Sadly no squats, cleans or deads in it till my current injury is sorted.

I'm using 600mm step ups and RDL for legs if the guts can cope.

100 step ups should be interesting, I'm also waiting for Thursday when I'm meant to do 10 x 10 of heaves, I assume I will need more than 10 sets to get the 100 out.

Fun times ahead, LOL.

Did some legs today against the doctors orders. Only did real light weight and made sure i had correct form. Only exercise that gave me a lot of grief was squats.

Have pulled up real tight. Will see how it is in the morning

Good news Bird, well done!

Here's my update.

I took random bathroom selfie to text Kate while she was out walking the dog (excuse facial expression, was not meant fo ryou guys).

Still missing a good 3-4kg, so I'm about half way there on what I lost way back when I hurt my back (still not squatting, only doing bike work) also carrying much more mid section fat as you can see (abs could be worse given my ab work consists of a few basisc planks for back strength and some swiss ball morning glory type things).

Still down on all lifts also after that shoulder strain which is sticking around a little but slowly getting better.

Could be a lot better but given my diet has suffered (not that it was ever specific for training but I tried to eat healthy, but with a child, work very busy,etc) and that I'm only getting 3x 30min sessions a week (including a good 10mins of bike) I am managing to maintain some shape at least.

    • 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
