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)

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 :)

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
