I just went wtf is veet... Then google was my friend, and I went ahh f**k that I would rather pay someone to do it...

So Troy, I have to ask... How does it feel to momentarily seem like more of a woman than someone who has a vagina, an obsession with disney and her world revolves around sparkles and the colour pink..? :no:

Just read through the thread couldn't find how much u weighed to start with and how much u weigh now....

72kg when he started, 75kg currently

72kg now, aiming for 80kg by summer with preferably the same BF% as before my trip, or less :D
Back up to 74.5kg naked weight before I eat dinner, happy with that progress :)

Starting weight would have been about 71/72kg with decent body fat. Current weight is ~74.5kg with much less body fat.

I weighed in at about 74kg prior to going overseas for 6 weeks. When I got back I had lost 2kg and put on noticeable fat - which meant I'd lost a fair crack of muscle mass. That is the point that I "started" this thread.

I haven't quite been eating enough to put on much weight - coming into summer I've been very indecisive about my goals and have settled with toning and defining mostly.

Also should note I feel like a bag of shit. Got myself a REAL nasty cold over past 2 day - was up all night last night with a fever and raging headache, hallucinating and shit. Good times.

on the 28th of December (2005) I received a late Christmas present in the form of a blood clot in my occipital lobe. I had a stroke at 17 and a half years of age, which rendered the left side of my body completely useless (for only a short time mind you). It took me a few days to regain movement and feeling, and I was released from hospital a week later, walking etc again - albeit a bit f**king uncoordinated. Unfortunately, even the thought of attempting to play soccer again that year was a joke, and so the constant exercise almost came to a complete halt.

Sounds pretty full on, do they know what caused it? Has your coordination returned?

No idea what caused it - (from memory) since it was almost certainly a dislodged clot from somewhere else that got caught up there, it was suggested that perhaps I twisted my neck and tore one of the arteries running up along my spine....then just by bad luck, the scab that had formed broke away and got stuck in my brain haha. Otherwise there was speculation about many other things like the tiny hole between chambers in my heart (that like 30% of people have anyway) allowing a clot to pass through rather than be filtered by the lungs or something. In the end I spose it's just bad luck and shit happens really. I didn't want to dwell on it at all - just wanted to move on and get back to "normal"

Regarding my coordination, honestly I'd say that I'm ever slightly more gumby than before haha particularly my left side. Though the only thing I ever notice is slight clumsiness on occasion and the blind spot I have in the upper-left of my vision field. When it comes down to it, nah I'm perfectly fine as far as my life is concerned. Just a little disappointed it stopped me from joining the air force as a pilot or at the least getting my pilot's licence. Ah well.

Feeling a lot better from the cold, just got a bloody annoying dry cough now...though I still shouldn't have stayed outside in the cold and rain yesterday at Foreshore lol....shorts and a singlet don't do well for keeping you warm!!

Squats:

60kg x10

90kg x10

90kg x10

120kg x10

140kg x6

140kg x4 (legs went to jelly on the way down for number 5)

DL:

60kg x10

90kg x10

90kg x8

Was far too buggered to keep going on :( oh well feel good and that's all that matters.

Good squatting, how's your flexibility with these (what's the depth like)?

90kg and under I can pretty much get down to almost sitting on my heels....above that weight and I can't quite get that low lol...

FLEXIBILITY itself for squatting is fine, it's just the strength and a bit of balance I don't have to go all the way down on higher weight

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
