I still pretty much follow a push/pull/legs split primarily built around freeweight exercises (with cables coming in a close 2nd...lever machines can GTFO haha). Very few isolation movements, though I'm starting to add certain ones in like shrugs depending on where I feel I'm lacking. Just about everything will be super-sets if there's a logical exercise to use as the super-set (examples being adding upright barbell rows or rear dumbbell flies to primary pull movements like seated row or bent over rows). Unfortunately I've more or less ditched deadlifts AGAIN thanks to lower back cramping every time :( no matter the weight, stance, or form...it just happens :( though squats are back on the board and going stronger than ever :D working weight isn't as high as I'd like, currently 130-140kg 5 sets of 6-8 reps, though I got myself a PB the other day - 150kg 3 reps absolutely ATG :D :D

I train most days if I can, sometimes twice (short lunchtimes session, then finish it off in the arvo). Only ever take "rest days" when I feel I need it, though I still don't really ever schedule them so to speak

Srs Leesh? Wow not bad :P you'd still be song a bit of cardio here and there no? I haven't done any form of cardio in like just over 3 months LOL

Cheers Dan :D I'm actually really stoked with the shape and size of my back. I'd never seen a PROPER photo of it before, so really this is a pleasant surprise :D

Yep, want to up to 2700 for the next month, even though I do feel sick a bit during training, like I'm going to be sick. I don't eat for a couple of hours beforehand so I'm not sure why I'm feeling like that.

I cut out all cardio for the last month and a bit. I have just started doing fitness classes again last week so not much cardio at all really. I need to start training for city to surf very soon, which is 12km argh

I don't get the urge to nap, not I wholeheartedly agree. A lot of my intake lately has been from Bioflex BioBulker (pretty much 50:50 carbs/protein) just coz my body is getting sick of eating such a high volume of "clean" food haha

She lifts a fair whack of weight; ultimate calorie burner

After a PT session (I don't do cardio in PT) is when I can eat the most, I get super hungry - I get home, down a protein shake and search the fridge/freezer for whatever meat I can find because otherwise I am going to break something lol... Issue with that is I train after work so it's close to bed time before I get home to eat.

The rest of the time I am justnot hungry, doesn't help I sleep like shit too...

Yeah, I get to a point where my body is like screw the good food just hand me a bowl of Gnocchi, a whole margarita Pizza and some Nutella whilst you are at it...

What do you do for exercise and how often?

Leesh used to eat about as many calories as you currently do. She also went to the gym for about 2 hours, 6 days a week.

Now she does ~45 minute sessions 4 times a week, zero cardio and twice the calorie intake...but same levels of bodyfat and a fair but more muscle. It's no longer a case of hungry and shouldn't eat that, it's now her having to stuff her face with food to maintain the weights sessions and constant improvement.

Nothing wrong with eating before bed. If can be quite good for muscle recovery because proponents of it say that it's less time between meals. A lack of sleep doesn't help, though! I know that feel all too well. I don't know many who are happy with their sleep these days; I think everyone's sleep is shit in the modern age. Lifespan increasing, quality of life diminishing!

I was training twice daily with cardio in the morning for an hour and weights in the evening for an hour including stretching, Monday-Thurs then only Morning on Friday and Saturday. I've since cut out the morning session temporarily because I was only getting 3 maybe 4 hours of sleep and the best sleep was between 5-7am which would usually be morning gym time (5:30-6:30), I do 600+ cal burn each session and not getting anywhere. I've cut to 1hr evenings only now doing split push/pull and lower programs with Half hour PT on Thrusday nights followed by half hour of cardio. Do this Mon-Thurs then work (on my feet) Friday nights with a cardio session and work (on my feet) Saturday and rest day sunday.

Goal is to lose body fat and be lean and fit as opposed to "skinny fat"...

*I have two jobs, main one office and two nights per week hospitality*

Sorry for the hijack Trozzle :)

    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
