You weren't happy with your stomach before either...you wanted visible ab definition.

Nothing to do with cardio, it's purely body fat, which is why skinny guys can have skinny man six packs that show definition (however flat). A lot harder to achieve in girls, even skinny, because of the naturally higher body fat percentage and men having much more muscle there and potential for that muscle to begin with. This is why you have to ignore a lack of definition until you're finished bulking and building up muscle, then can go on a cut to reveal it.

Like me, you're naturaly a sleight build. At 60kg now you're actually far from what we would consider bulking anyway. Consider your back definition in the above photo. Your body fat currently is what I'd call a healthy maintenance. You could easily add more calories for a greater surplus and gym energy boost without looking fat. 65kg wouldn't be unreasonable to be carrying around and you would still look far from what anyone would consider fat.

That 50 x 30 was a tyrannosauric effort and the best squatting I've seen from Leesh; all nice and deep squats using the elasticity of the ass the ground squat to keep momentum and an explosive action. Somewhere between the missed 1RM and the 60kg sets we had a pep talk that really flicked on the intensity switch and proved once again how much of a part attitude and mentality play in this stuff. Very happy with the efforts tonight after a dismal start.

Thanks Birds.

I definitely let outside influences into the gym, which I need to not do in future. With my life so out of my comfort zone right now, the gym is the one constant I have; something I can be in control of. When I missed the 75kg that I've gotten many times before I gave up. I even said I'm not squatting anymore. I lost all intensity, motivation and drive.

I'm lucky that my gym partner is also my emotional trigger, the one person that can get me out of my negative mindset and thoughts, and push me just enough to bring me back to where I need to be. He helped me flick the switch and turn off my negative thoughts and reminded me why I'm doing this.

I'm proud of myself for having the inner strength to turn my session around and achieve a pb of 30x50 and I'm thankful to my partner for believing in me.

Bring on 80kg squat.

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
