Put this up for myself as I have kind of Plateaued as of late with my progress, need a kick in the pants to keep me going.

As of February 2012 I decided I have had enough of my love handles.

Weighed in at 88kg & would fluctuate between 87-90kg before then.

height: 171cm 5"7

naturally stocky build, was never a skinny kid growing up. always had broad shoulders for my size so it helps hide the fat with loose tshirts, but got to a stage where even that couldn't hide it.

Currently weigh: 76kg so lost 12 kg in 6 months. main difference is stepping up my cardio & ab workouts at the gym + cutting out a lot of junk food meals I would normally eat

I have been hovering around 76-77kg for the last 2 months. I'm not really concerned with my final weight figure, concentrating more on getting rid of the last bits of my love handles & getting back the abs I had when I was a teenager.

I think I've reached the limit of results I can achieve just going to the gym, If I'm going to get my abs back I'll need to work on my diet ie; cut out all the junk food!

Work & life in general keeps me very busy, not always easy to cook at home

haha thanks dude :laugh: I'm trying to find pics of when I had more weight on my midsection as I wanted to do one of those before & after shots, but I shied away from cameras for a reason

gonna aim to break into the 75kg range in 1-2 weeks, just maintain the stuff I'm doing at the gym.

Anyone got tips for core strength & abdominals? too much conflicting advice on the net.

I'm trying to get the lean look not necessarily the large bulging six pack

cheers

Edit: Found some old pics maybe 2 years old when I was pushing 95kg

You needs some muscles, do more body weight exersizes.

And drink more beer.

ABS is for cars to stop the wheels locking up.

Seriously though, Good work mate, Ive gone from 87 and feeling fat and shit to 79 and Im feeling much better.

^ ahaha that's one way to keep me motivated cheers :happy:

I work near a food court so too much temptation, but too lazy to prepare food from home. I'm obviously not a fitness health freak so I try to compromise;

During a week I'll get things like grilled fish with garden salad no dressing, subway 6" sub lean meat no cheese wholegrain bread or a sammich from a cafe.

I still get a red rooter/kfc meal 2-3 times a week which is a bad habit so I'm trying to cut this out, just need to ween myself off it gradually, I gave up smokes cold turk3y but I can't seem to do it for junk food FFS!

It's more of a lifestyle change, but do go stupid on diets or supplements, people end up relying on them to much, just try to limit you carb intake a bit and keeep active and you'll be fine.

^ thanks! I appreciate the kind words

Looking back I can't believe I was lugging that weight around for so long.

My gym recently decided they needed to fill up every bit of floor space with machines & benches. Literally no more decent floor space to do proper ab workouts, Farken!

so close to crackin 74kg

been hovering between high 75kg to mid 76kg range for the last few weeks

I've increased my weights & have noticed I'm bulking up a bit more so I'd probably already be there if I wasn't building up muscle

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
