is that 6 reps or 6 sets?

Whats the point of doing low reps?

I do no less than 10 reps when squatting

6 reps x 3 sets. Atm I'm focussing on strength and size. Every few weeks I'll mix I turn and do higher volume stuff - lighter weight, higher reps.

lol

My legs are defined champ.

I doubt its as chiseled as mine

6 reps x 3 sets. Atm I'm focussing on strength and size. Every few weeks I'll mix I turn and do higher volume stuff - lighter weight, higher reps.

I train my legs no different than any other part of my body, by gradually increasing weight as i see fit with average reps of 10-11. Anything less than 10 reps and 3 sets is inadequate for me but most of the time i do 4 sets especially with squats. This way i get both mass and definition happening all at the same time. The idea of seasonal bulking and cutting up the next is only useful for beginners or hardcore builders, been doing this shit for 8 years now. It was only 8 weeks ago that i was squatting 60kg, however with consistency, last night finished 4 sets (first set 80kg as a warm up, 3 sets in 100kg) with relative ease. Looking into moving on to 140kg in 8-9 weeks time frame.

heavy weights with low reps are just another tool in the box mate.

People respond differently to different training methods, and most people will respond best to doing high reps AND low reps, mix it up.

Having 'big fat' legs or 'chiselled' legs has NOTHING to do with how you lift your weight or how much weight you lift, muscle is muscle, the only thing

that has to do with it is diet.

An ethiopian has chiselled legs dude ;)

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
