Possibly. I'm not as fussed about my physique as I used to be; guess I'm kinda over it now. I've been lifting weights for long enough that I feel as if I should have achieved my aesthetic goals by now. Birds said I would get a six pack once I did 10 pull-ups... Well I did that, no six pack. It's disappointing and I don't want the frustration to get in the way of my enjoyment of gym; hence why I guess I've turned to the strength aspect rather than looks. I looked much more defined a year ago than I do today, but I am stronger today...

Stop twisting my words female

I said when you were capable of doing 10 pullups...and I mean proper full range of motion pullups...that you would have enough abdominal muscle for a six pack. That doesn't mean you don't have to do the cutting to make it visible.

You are your own harshest critic and also throwing out a lot of ignorance here. I think that if people saw your physique and read what you wrote here they would think you're being a tad unrealistic. Some facts: you're eating literally twice as much as when you say you were more "defined". You're significantly stronger having increased weights by about 50-60%; you have more muscle now, despite training for less than 1/3 the amount of time/sessions that you used to. You've been plagued by injuries over the last couple years that we've had to rehab around. I think you need to add some perspective here before looking to your goals and saying "I give up" or "that didn't work" when you've actually only done half the work to get there.

If you go to the Arnold Classic on the weekend a girl i know will be competing and on a booth answering questions. Her name is Melissa Darmawan i believe she is on the Superior Supplements booth. Have a chat to her, very friendly and informative. You can't miss her she is the giant asian

Another woman you could email/Facebook is Renee Armstrong (i believe that is how its spelt) she either did or does compete on stage and focuses on strength and power lifting. Her fiance owns Bondi Strength.

But obviously she is in nsw

I'm not sure? It was my shoulder that was causing me pain. Basically now I have a lower back hyper extension. Can't walk up stairs properly, can't get in and out of a car without being in pain, stuff like that.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
