I don't even know what metabolic fail time means

This... She wants the skinny guy six pack. You just need a bit more muscle, it'll do the same thing, but at a more healthy weight.

Good read. My daily intake is nothing but eggs, bacon, tuna, chicken, broccoli, avocado, cottage cheese and protein powder. Man I hang for a carb load Saturday! http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/smile.png

Why are you eating so restricted?

keto?

I find diet a bit of a hard one due to the sheer amounts of differing opinions and scientific research, as I am trying to lose fat and not muscle, I try to eat as clean as possible and minimise simple carbs, still not 100% on IIFYM.

I see someone bashing ryvitas - I've been eating them quite a bit lately thinking that they were less of a fail than white flour based crackers - or is there something more preferable again!

Been trying to eat as much steak / kangaroo and veg as I can, as well as cottage cheese for dat dere casein as well.

Well "clean" is about as unscientific as you can get...

well clean as in whole foods, avoiding overly processed stuff where I can. No fluids other than tea and water etc. I thought it was a fairly self explanatory term in this context.

It all gets a bit much, you have people advocating keto, intermittent fasting, paleo, zone dieting, iifym, pure calorie counting etc etc.

I see where you're coming from boz...there is so much conflicting bullshit out there; diets excluding foods that are the basis of other diets; everything seems to contradict each other and some diets only seem to work for some people (coincidence?)...

I just don't pay attention to diets and calorie counting and all that jazz. I don't need it and I don't think anyone with half a brain needs it either. Ye olde food pyramid does me pretty well. Eat more of some foods and less of others. Exercise shitloads. Done!

I managed to continue gaining muscle mass slowly while burning off fat, but given I was already decently average to low BF% to begin with it still took long enough to pull off that I wouldn't so much specifically aim for it to begin with - particularly if you're already a bit bigger than average (I'd always thought you were a scrawny f**ker Boz :P goes hand in hand with chubby chasing, no? lol)

ok so over the last 2 months or so I've been on the seefood diet (yeah yeah, we all love that pun don't we?). Went from 74.5kg lean-ish up to ~80kg with a noticeable increase in body fat and bloating/water retention. Pretty much went down the path of a very average quality bulk lol. Was both to gain a decent amount of muscle mass as quickly as I could (fat gain along the way wasn't too concerning) while increasing strength much more easily thanks to calorie overload.

Will put more info into build thread to safe off-topic shit in this thread.

lol nah got pretty fat after changing to an IT career from printing, have never been scrawny. I like my women fat, but I was disgusted with the way that I looked, hence my newfound health and fitness obsession.

I'm inclined to agree with you there Birds - then there is the whole thing of eating enough calories to ensure your metabolism dosen't go to sleep etc, discerning actual scientific fact from broscience is another hard one!

why is it confusing?

eat fresh natural food.

don't eat cakes and pies and choc etc.

if you're not losing weight, either exercise more or reduce the amount of food you eat by a little.

I do eat fresh natural food

I do not eat cakes, pies or chocolate

I'm not losing weight and I exercise 6 days a week

I also don't really eat that much during the day, breakfast is oats, snack is muesli bar, lunch is fruit and yoghurt or a salad roll, afternoon is protein shake, after workout is protein shake and dinner is usually pasta/rice/stiry fry

:(

this is why I'm confused.

Leesh have you had a dexa scan done?

that would give you a better idea of how much lean muscle you actually have.

from that you can work out the calories/macros you need to drop some more weight if that is what you want.

I don't know where in WA you are but I'm sure the guys at PTC Perth have had one done in Perth.

Also, it could be that your 6 days a week exercise is not of great quality.

I can't remember if it was you but I thought you posted in the post a pic of yourself thread and looked pretty good.

Don't know why you would want to lose more weight.

I haven't had a dexa scan done, the assessment at the gym used Tanita scales which said I was at 44kg muscle mass.

Maybe I'll try to book one in when I'm Perth next as I don't really live close to anything like that.

Monday is weights, Tuesday is cardio and yoga, Wednesday is weights, Thursday is boxing, Friday is weights, Saturday is cardio and weights

Birds has given me the weights program.

My body fat percentage is too high, and I want more defintion to my muscles, especially core.

Those scales are rubbish.

I'm sure I saw abs in your photo. I can't remember though. a female with abs showing usually means not much fat.

I think that you're just being a typical chick about this and worrying about nothing.

Post nudes pics so we can perve complement and you can feel better about it all.

Why are we hiding from Birds?

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.

      RH9 R32 GTR Build Thread

      By OST Micah · Posted

      While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
