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 :)

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 :)

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
