Woah! My opinion...you need to get onto a progressive strength routine like Leesh's. It'll save you heaps of time in the gym and you'll lose all the body fat you want, despite eating more food and probably (can't guarantee it) better quality sleep.

Have a read of Leesh's build thread from start to finish, if you have some time, and get an idea of how little she has to do (don't get me wrong, it's still hard work) for the output. I think you might find it interesting where she's come from and where she is at now :)

Apologies also to Troy...actually no, I'm not apologising to Troy :P

Yeah I will need to look at it, might even spark up my old thread from ages ago, lost a bit and then my knees farked out so I stopped again until I got the all clear from the surgeon and physio at the start of this year to get back into it... Will post up a program I run through with my PT when I am not up to an insane session (sick or whatever) that I am going to start as just my normal weights sessions, last Thurs PT had me leg press 120kg, I was like surely you are just f**king with me, nope was serious...

Shhhh just go with it!!!

^^^I disagree. Squats quite simply can't keep up with plate loaded incline leg press for sheer leg isolation thanks to removing the back loading component (and subsequently the need to balance yourself)...

Though that being said, I still prefer squats hands down for leg day.

Leg press has it's uses, it was very helpful for my knee rehabilitation and I can't support larger weights over my shoulders at the moment because of a previous back injury thus incline leg press it is. 85kg is my max for over the shoulders atm.

    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
