This was a very good idea Ash, I actually think this will help me a lot as I can not only watch how I've changed but it will also provide some drive in the sense that I've now got to show you f**kers

Also, did they sell bikes for Men where you got that?

you initiate the lift with your legs but you must keep your back tight so that your hips don't rise too early in the lift (before the bar leaves the floor)... then as your legs straighten and your hip

Heh, cheers mate :) though it's a little slower than I'd like. Plus I'm hitting a shitty plateau undoubtedly caused by not eating enough unsure.gif

Just gotta push through this obliterated spine bullshit and I'm all G though :D

Alrighty, well now that (for all intents and purposes) NYE is past, I'm gonna start making a solid effort at putting on some mass. So far I've been more or less keeping it lean as fark, which is slow going but more appealing aesthetically. From here on for a while I'm going to aim for that 80kg+ then cut back whatever fat I've put on in the process.

Since I'm the disorganised mayor of struggle town, as well as having depleted my current WPI, I've gone and got myself some Ultimate Nutrition Muscle Juice....Only taking it in half the suggested serving size, as logic suggests and advised by the guy in the store I got it from. This should help out with my otherwise average (but healthy) diet, providing plenty of carbs (not all shitty sugars either) while still giving me around the same protein as I was getting beforehand.

Should also help this strength plateau I've hit due to not growing enough or having energy :(

Agree totally^

I got it in my head that I wanted to weigh more and when I started stacking on the kilos, mostly fat with a bit of muscle, it was good for football and confidence but that's about it. I lost my visible abs and it was depressing looking at rolls of skin when sitting down (I wasn't "fat" by any means of the word, still trim and toned looking compared to the average person and nothing of a "gut", but when you go from 82kg to 89kg you certainly notice the difference in muscle tone). Cut all the way back to 82kg again and, I much prefer this.

So yeah, let the muscle put on the weight...it will happen, is happening. I know what you're chasing Troy, and if your goals are still the same, you'll be much happier if it's not fat that's increasing the numbers on the scales. Nothing wrong with doing it in bulk and cut phases, but you can certainly just go down the path of gaining lean muscle without them.

I think alot of people just try and stack the pounds on requardless weather its muscle or fat to prove to themselves that they can actually do it

then once they get there they realise that this isnt the kind of weight they wanted and that being heavier is not all it cracked up to be

i know this was the case for me, at 96kg i really started to feel the strain on my body when running not just tiring quicker but i also developed shin splints which pretty much stops you from running all together

my abs also disappeared and i started to outgrow alot of my pants...very frigan annoying as i hate spending lots of money on clothes

its all good and well to put on 10kg in 6 months but very rarely is it going to be mostly muscle (unless ur a juice monkey)

at the end of the day u just gotta be happy with what u see in the mirror and over time you will slowly grow lean muscle, its a slow process but it WILL and is happening all the time

be patient it will happen :thumbsup:

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
