IMO growing 10kgs in 20 weeks is fantastic, but unless you do a couple of back to back fat tests, low fluid tests(to show its not just alot of water), etc, to show you have gained bascily only muscle, not just muscle + fat + other crap.

I dont count that as single way to measure weight lifting progress, because how much has the strength increased over that period of time? therefore I believe something along the lines of :

10 reps of 3 sets of bench at 70kg and body weight at 60kg, then a few weeks later your at 10 reps of 3 sets of bench at 80kg and body weight at 62kg. etc...

Ofcourse SOME of it will be fat, you can't put on 10kgs of pure muscle in 20 weeks without roids! So it isn't realistic....

Also you don't need to get a whole lot stronger to be putting on size, nor do you need to get a lot bigger to gain strength.

This is why bodybuilders can be huge, but RELATIVELY weak, whereas, powerlifters can way 60odd kgs and bench, squat and deadlift a whole lot more.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
