In regards to subjective matters or someone's personal thoughts, beliefs or opinions they can be

Example is the existence of god. Countless amounts of people have stated that a different style of workout has worked for them and people have claimed they haven't.

You could have been referring to her, however wording suggests or at least leans towards not.

You seem to think I'm attacking opinion or difference in opinion? It is not the case. Only ignorant assumptions. And yes I was including her and that's not subjective at all.

Also, no one debates the existence of rajab.

All hail rajab :worship:

I'm feeling anxious about going to the gym tonight and I don't know if that means I should go or not. I really don't know what I'm meant to be doing anymore and all this negative shit on here has really upset me. What do I do :(

Go to the gym. Even an average session is better than no session imo.

Go and do what you know you can at weights you feel comfy with if you're worried about pushing harder.

Or you could do something different and change up the rep/weight scheme just for something new.

Or stick to the same scheme which seems to have been working well for you all things considered.

Really the only problem you're having is a bit of knee bend at a specific weight on one exercise.

No reason to ditch an entire session for that.

TL:DR: Don't be a sook, go to the gym :D

At the end of the day there is only one opinion that matters l33sh .. Yours. There are far to many keyboard warriors out there that think they know it all and love giving out advice. To be honest it's your body and only you have to be happy with it. The reason there are so many progrAms out there is because what works with one person doesn't work with others. Personally I think you have a great figure ( judging by your first pic ) but it's what you see that determines your thinking. Unless we can learn to be happy with ourselves we won't progress forward

Feel like I'm not moving forward, even going backwards in some exercises.

I get like that too, for me it means one of a few things.

Not enough sleep to recover from the workouts, not enough protein in the diet for growth at the new load, form issue in the exercise costing efficiency and creating a plateau.

So I'll try and get to bed earlier, dose up hard on protein in my diet, and have a good look at form.

I also look to mix up the rep/weight scheme or order of exercises for a new challenge.

Sometimes it's just mental for me too, which given your comments of late wouldn't surprise me (no offense, you just seem like you've got a case of the Monday's).

Exercise should make you feel good not bad, if it's making you unhappy, change it up.

My $2.50.

You're right Dan. I haven't been sleeping well (around 3hrs a night) due to stress. My life is shit atm, all my own doing. I seem to ruin anything good that happens in my life and I've done a pretty good job of that lately. Consequently, people I care about are disappointed in me; which in turn has made me disappointed in myself and all I seem to think lately is negative thoughts. I know it's affecting my gym and like everything else in my life at the present I need to work on it. I'll get there.

My problem solving process is to pull back from extra cirriculuars, thigns like gym, working on the car, etc, and focus on the main issues at play. That could be sleep, not eating right, trouble with the partner etc.

Focus on one thing at a time, chip away.

There's no such thing as a zero day, that is, every day you live, you make progress towards something.

So for you, 3hrs of sleep is an issue, that should be goal number 1. If it's caused by stress, have an honest look at what you feel is causing you stress, the first "issue" that pops into your head, now gets your attention to be resolved, and so on and so on.

You'll be fine. We live better than the vast majority of people in the world, keep that in mind and stay positive for all the good things you have, don't just think about what you don't have or isn't working well.

    • 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. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
