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.

    • Yeah so when you turn key to IGN the fuel pump should run for a few seconds. If you find the fuel pump relay (and have a multimeter, and a second person) to can check the relay inputs.  One trigger pin should be either fully earthed  The other trigger pin should get 12v from the ECU for say 3 seconds when you turn key to IGN, and at all times that key is at START (note, I said this from memory, it may be the other way around, ie one pin always has IGN 12v and the earth has continuity to earth when you turn the key) One Pin should have a good battery voltage The last pin goes to the fuel pump + Also note that if the power to the relay is good, and the relay is working, it is worth checking the pump has a good earth too. There is a computer in the standard system that increases the earth resistance to slow down the pump when not required, pretty old school and it may have failed
    • All this talk about fuel and fancy ECUs, meanwhile my poor old R32 has neither.... When the ignition is turned on, should there be power running o the fuel pump constantly or just for the few seconds it usually takes to prime the pump? About to go have another look at it, have watched some YouTube vids on how to use a  multimeter and looked at some wiring diagrams but really have NFI what I'm looking for because electricity is invisible  
    • Yuh....but weren't all the supertourers, except maybe the Audis, FWD? I don't recall any of the others being AWD.
    • They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox) They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox)
