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

    • Welcome buddy! Plenty on here and YouTube. What are your plans for it? Good luck with the Rwc and Rego bud!
    • Love this so much! Please post a photo when you have a bike on the trailer.  I was a little bit worried about having a tow bar on the Skyline, but having it hidden behind the number plate is genius
    • Came here to say, put all the wiring from the new motor and gearbox in that you can, then throw the stock ECUs in the bin, and get an aftermarket ECU. Should be pretty easy if you can use a multimeter and read a wiring diagram to then use a PNP aftermarket ECU to suit the motors wiring loom, and make the minimal changes you will to get it to work in with the body loom (If any). This will mean you can very easily circumvent/bypass the Park/Neutral start disable switch, and get everything running really easy!
    • If the roof is dual skinned the whole way, IE, there's a "top" metal piece, and a "bottom" metal piece, to slow it down as much as you practically can, you should be able to get an attachment for a spray can/your spray gun, where it is a long, thin flexible hose, and when you're "spraying" it is spraying it in every direction possible. The I'd get that, and feed it through the roof as much and as far as you can. It's basically like fish oiling the car, but you're soaking it in rust converter. Then do the fix like Murray has described having cleaned up the existing metal as much as you humanly can. I'd also throw as much rust converter on that exposed metal before putting the fibreglass/metal filler over everything.   As for welding a replacement in. I've owned my own MIG welder for about 10 years. I've also worked in an industry doing MIG welding for a job for about 3 months dead straight, and we were doing 11.5 hour work days 5 days a week, plus a Saturday 6 hour day. (I then moved over to running the massive CNC plasma as I could understand the technology, and work with the main guy out there). I also f**k around with my welders a bit at home. So what I'm saying here is, I've probably got more hours on a MIG gun than you'll manage to get under your sleeve doing home sorts of jobs over the next 5 years. I also have an ACDC TIG that I got myself a year or two back. I've got a short amount of experience on the TIG only. My home MIG is also presently setup for doing thin sheet metal. Unless I didn't care about how that roof looked, and I just wanted a functional metal roof, and it being out of alignment, warped, and bowed, I would NOT attempt a roof replacement UNLESS I could do it as a whole panel like Murray described where the spot welds were.  Welding has this REALLY annoying thing, where if you want something to be perfectly square, unless you can clamp that thing to damn perfection (Welding fixture table), it is NOT going to be square, so you start to learn, the type of metal you're working with, how thick it is etc, and weld in VERY specific ways, and by knowing how YOU are as a welder, so that as the welds cool, the metal work pulls itself into place. If you want to see some cool tricky shit done, Bennets Customs is an Aussie guy, and he mentions a guy a lot call "Kyle", who is from "Make It Kustom". Watch some of their welding videos, especially on sheet metal. You can use the welder to shrink the steel in, and you can also use the welder to stretch the panel out. When you have the skill level that I have, you can shrink the metal in and out... But never on purpose like those two guys do. You just manage to f**k it all up. Then I smack it around with a hammer till it sits lower than I will want it too, then I shove filler on top and then pray to deitys that I can sand it into some form of sane shape that doesn't look like a dog has taken a shit, after eating a tonne of pumice stone... I'm all for DIY, and for learning, and please, feel free to give it a go, but be aware, you need to live with the consequences of how time consuming it is to do, AND that it's going to look no where near as good as what you can make it look with just some filler now. Oh AND, even once you replace it, it's like to still rust away again eventually, because you'll have missed putting primer and paint on some part of the newly welded in sheet metal, or against part of the existing metal you couldn't get to...   Oh, and to weld all that in, you will need to pull the window out, and strip at least the roof and A Pillars of interior trim and wiring. You'll then need things like the big fire proof/weld spatter proof mats to lay down, OR you'll end up needing to strip the ENTIRE interior to avoid sending it all up in a ball of flames. If you want to see how annoying sheet metal is to weld, head to bunnings, buy there 600x600 1.6mm mild steel (Not GAL!) sheet, and cut a few pieces, and try and weld them together. Then understand, 1.6mm sheet is nearly 50 to 100% THICKER than the cars sheet metal.   The photos I posted before, I'm replacing with 1.2mm thick mild sheet, and it's very easy to blow through both the original steel (Especially if I hit an area that should have probably been cut out a bit more) or straight through the new sheet metal. And I'm doing the floor, which can be hidden easily, and doesn't matter how pretty I make it, as long as it's damn strong! I'm also doing it in a 4WD, that has seen many off road trails, and doesn't need to look that pretty ever
    • This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.
