Birds this is degenerating.

In my defence. I have urged Leesh to seek a physio in both cases as primary. The advice is around providing Leesh with pain relief and comfort before she is able to get diagnosis and professional treatment. I am correct on the root cause of the issue but, being right isn't worth anything to me in this case. I only wish to help Leesh recover and prevent her from getting hurt. I will defer to the professional in every case , I am actually very pleased to be completely wrong if it means Leesh has a healthier back and shoulders.

If my input isn't appreciated and as you say is seen as ineffective and wrong, then I should take that as a cue to butt out. Which I now will. I don't want to cause un-necessary conflict and I mean no offence to you Birds, which it seems I have caused and do apologise for.

Just to get us on track again, here's a comparison of the weights Leesh started with at the beginning of this build thread (~3 months ago) versus some of her best weights in recent weeks. Despite injuries and setbacks (like not being able to perform deadlifts for 2 of those months), I think she has done fairly well for herself.

12th August was 47.5kg bench press. I havent been close to that in months.

Dont know where you've got 30th October from

12th August is not recent weeks

but yes there are gains there because you're a good trainer

You're looking at a single exercise in the whole list. Every other PB has been completed in the last 2-3 weeks.

No, there are gains there because of you. I'm not lifting the weights, only guiding you in the limited capacity that I can. But your lack of confidence in yourself and inability to acknowledge such progress will have you on a fast downward slope in times like this where you need them most to pull you out of negativity.

I'm sorry, I know I've been really negative about gym and I've frustrated you. I will change my attitude and be more positive and accepting of my progress

Update for those interested.

Physio is very concerned. Thorasic spine mainly T6, T7, T8 but also intervertebral joints are causing issues, which I didn't have last time. Also my right side is playing up but nowhere near as painful as left. (Left is injured side from last time)

Rib pain is referred pain mainly from T7 and T8.

Physio remarked she has never worked on someone so stiff before. Next week I need to take Nurofen before going because the facet joints are so stiff; it's very painful (and I'm not a wuss) and she's not working me hard enough to loosen things up very much.

Trying to work out why thorasic is damaged is her priority at the moment. Lumbar spine is very flexible so it's concerning that thorasic is so stiff/painful. My left rotation is basically half of what it should be.

She wants to me to take up my weights again from Monday and wants to see if I'm more/less stiff next week.

She's trying to work out if weights are hindering the problem; I've never been to a physio before weight training and I've been exercising for a long time. I don't want to give up weights but I don't want to go down the surgery path just yet either.

Edited by L33SH

Don't really have a choice as I can't lift my left arm above my head

thats nasty. Ice packs around the rotator & spine (bag of frozen peas in tea towel) for 30 min a time. As often as you can cope with. Just before bed especially. It doesn't feel nice but, will help inflamation. Or whatever the physio has reccomended.

You will get better.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
