I reckon I am about still 12 months off where i would like to be.

Currently at 87kg and can;

Bench: 95kg at 3-4 sets, 8 reps

Squat: 160kg at 3-4 sets, 10 reps

Would like more bench/chess and a ripped core.

if you want to increase your chest strenght stop traing to 8 reps! drop back to max of 5 reps/5 sets (with about 3mins rest between) and progressive overload

Posting on behalf of UNR33L, who is a bit shy about putting something up - doesn't think he's come far enough yet - can we agree this is bullshit? Leigh has only been training a few months; has spent the last month training with me. He's a long way off where he wants to be, but check out the difference already

Congratulations mate, you should be proud!

That's an awesome difference Leigh, nice one!

ok, here's me atm. Been on a new program now for a week..... hoping to see more definition as well as a major strength increase

Wow Leesh, you're hot! Haha! Really, looking great in the core hope I get similar ASAP :)

yeah solid improvement for a few months... keep it up mate!

love the expression of concentration on OP's face... someone needs to show me how you take a decent selfie... they didn't offer a selfie class at school when I was there... like they do now... apparently;)

Sharrrap and post already :P

Intention of this thread is for motivation and feed back on progress, not how we pose or where we take it. Just get in front of a mirror, take a snap, upload and we see where your overall progress lies upon.. advancing toward what will be :)

Love seeing progress shots. When things start to go slow and plateau (like i am now :( ), seeing progress shots boost motivation levels through the roof!

Anyways back on topic lol:

First week of shred after gauining 8kg (i'm an ectomorph so hard to gain weight lol)

About 2 or 3 weeks later..i think:

Some advice would be to stop your cutting, and start putting on some more muscle. You'll just end up skinny fat if you keep dieting atm.

If you eat clean and train hard, you'll not only gain muscle but you'll lean up as you go, a lot more than you are now.

If you really are an ectomorph, you shouldn't have to diet.

lol Birds cheers brah.. still a lot more hard work to do though! Have put on about 6kgs but yeah now need to try dieting properly to lose a bit of bodyfat %

Some good transformations in here so far keep up the good work guys and gals.

Agreed Simon there.

Lean/clean bulk is always the hardest but it's the most rewarding. I'm not sure what you weigh but i'd too advice against heavy dieting as it affects muscle grow and strength.

Everyone has a different method of doing things obviously but i get to a certain weight by high protein clean eating diet and work my way through that. I remain on that weight and gradually pack on muscle lose bf at the same time. It might take me 12-24 months for a good progress but that's how the cookie crumbles with things in bodybuilding :)

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
