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.

    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
    • Gee she looks a bit rear heavy in that first pic! Sounds like a great project with the kids, but as I guess you know R series stuff is getting hard to find and pre that is pretty much impossible these days
