I should probably interject here, as I've set Charlie up with the routine she is currently doing, but her logs don't fully explain how it works and...as she has just begun the routine...weights and sets do look a bit over the place. I'll use my current bench press as an example. Warmup is 82.5kg x 10 for 2 sets - to be done at a weight you could easily push out 15-20 reps of. Working sets are 92.5kg x 10 for 2 sets - to be done at a weight you can just push out 10 reps of. Max sets are 102.5kg x 4-5 for 2 sets - these are the stepping up sets, where once you reach a predetermined number of reps (for me ~7-8), you step the weight up. So it is not that different to progressive overload, just done on a higher rep range than 5x5.

what exactly are you trying to achieve by doing this? or atleast what do you think you are achiveing? muscle strength or muscle size?

Looking good JEPPE! way to de-gay this thread a bit

I think we need a 'glutes' shot... for science...

I agree...... for science!

Well thanks for the enthusiasm, but they're not ready yet :P

Don't listen to them, I'm not sure you realise this...... but they are just trying to perve on you and get you to post pics of yourself!!!!!! No seriously they are :yes:

Dont fall for it :no:

Send the photos to me and I'll give you an honest, completely objective but most importantly sexually unbiased opinion of how you are going.....

:P

lol wow, and those were the least provocative ones I could take without covering all the relevant parts. I suspected some sort of amusing reaction but I think it's about time we got back on topic, otherwise the ladies won't bother posting again ;)

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • 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/
