Great read Leesh, good to see you found it within you to keep going. Your progress pic shows the results of your determination.. good stuff!

In regards to the statement about creatine...

It's apparent effects are very closely tied in to how much muscle mass you're currently carrying. Keeping in mind that creatine doesn't affect subcutaneous water. So, the more muscle you already have, the more pronounced the effect of supplemented creatine will be. Water gain (muscle cell saturation) isn't always an effect of creatine use.. I'm a non-responder in that regard. However the relative strength increases seen with it are awesome. It's quite an 'individual' supplement.. It will definitely help you to reach your goals if you're comfortable using it.

And it won't take away the 6 pack either :)

Fantastic work, keep it up!

Didn't lock out the 110 deadlift; hopefully next week. I know I can do it. I'm happy anyway as I weigh 55kg at the moment, so double bodyweight dl come at me!

47.5 bench and 110 deadlift are equal PBs following an infraspinatus tear a couple of months ago that rendered Leesh unable to sleep let alone move her arm in certain positions without excruciating pain. This forced Leesh to rehabilitate the mobility in her shoulder and start from scratch again, with basically all exercise whilst the tissue healed. Her technique is consequently much better now, particularly on bench press, and most importantly, pain free.

Congratulations on getting back there and on your way to smashing these old PBs with some new ones. Exciting times ahead.

Squats are improving! Now to solve world hunger..

Yes but at the expense of technique... I have this issue with my right knee bending in as I'm coming up from the squat, was particularly bad tonight.. The 60's were shocking

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
