What does your gym think about your workout vs progress? do they have any suggestions that may help?

My gym agrees I should be lifting heavier and have given me lots of suggestions and advice, such as box squats, resistance band bench, incline bench, floor press, good mornings and other things but trainer says no.

That is unfortunate that your trainer won't allow it, for whatever reason it is. You've persisted with this method for a long time now.

Maybe the minimalist approach isn't enough for you.

Emulate the strong to get stronger.

Her routine is fine and still presenting gains; going very well considering how little time is spent working out and no assistance exercises; she is on a little plateau for 1RMs and I wouldn't even call it that, given progress is still being made in volume weights and reps when it's not being made with 1RMs. Read the rest of the thread and you'll see the steady increases leading up until the last week or so.

It's nothing but impatience from someone who skips dinner and wonders why the lifts aren't there the next day.

I skipped dinner one time because it was fking horrible and I couldnt be bothered making anything else as it was late so I had a protein shake. I eat a meal before gym which is dinner anyway. I eat nearly 2000 calories a day so I'm hardly under nourished.

Seemingly angry post precedes successful lifts that were failed last time haha

A thought on your training. 1rm's get more taxing the heavier the weight. Is this affecting your recovery?

Funny that, she ate a solid dinner lastnight and listened to my training lol

This was actually a training prep/test for a novice lifting comp on Sunday. So squats were well past parallel, deadlifts without hitching and bench was done with a pause at the chest and me giving the go ahead to "press". She did very well and only missed one lift, which is great considering there was hardly any rest between lift attempts (we got all this done in under an hour).

I never said it's not working.

So sore, especially my back and hip flexors. I think it's from lifting all day Sunday, then going straight on a plane for 4 hours and getting cramps then driving for 2 hours.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
