deads and bb military are very similar. and i'd say most people do those

How are they similar? The one is a pull and the other is a press. Both are GREAT exercises.

If you were being sarcastic I missed it due to lack of italics.

I too have trouble detecting the sarcasm...change of tone should stay the hell away from the internet, even with italics...

As for defining strength...GTST...don't bother with that one. There are so many different takes on it and as someone said we all have different goals. 1 rep maxes mean SFA to me and I never do them because they don't prove much unless you're a competition powerlifter...competing. When someone asks me how much I can bench press I give them my pyramid worth of sets that I normally do because I believe including stamina gives a more accurate description of what I'm capable of as an individual. Tracking progress for me is simply a matter of increasing the weight on the sets and seeing how well I cope with it. Most real life lifting situations require strength to be used more than once, so unless you're lifting a heavy object off someone to save their limbs/life then a single lift is a pretty useless benchmark of strength. Besides that, we have our good days and bad days at the gym: your 1 rep max is never going to be consistent if you are lifting to your true maximum ability. It is just a single sample from a large population, so what kind of gauge is that? It's statistically flawed.

Now I'm starting to feel like a hypocrite because I'm criticising your definition of strength after telling you not to do the same, so I take it all back...just don't push your definition onto other people as if they are "weak" for doing things differently. The reality of it is, if any of the regular gym junkies in this thread were to test out each others workouts...unless you're doing exactly the same workout, which I doubt...I guarantee you will wake up sore somewhere in your body the next day simply because of the variation in exercises/methods. And the core strength fanatics/snobs (I'm one of them) will get caught out on arguing that one because it's quite impossible to workout every part of the body in every way there is - even fulltime bodybuilders compromise with the exercises they do. There's no single way about achieving the same goal, even if we all had the same goal.

GTST: your saying train like a powerlifer... have you seen how a powerlifter looks? majority or nearly EVERYONE on this board would rather look like a bodybuilder than strongman.. and the way i train and the way i recommend to train is how a bodybuilder would train.. watch BLOOD AND GUTS by dorian yates.. tell me if you see a clean and jerk or an overhead bb press standing..

im not saying your wrong.. but to call me stupid by the way i train.. your a dead set idiot for saying that..

and i dont do 1rep max's.. and my strength has never gone backwards.. apart from hitting the recreationals on weekends at events then training the day after.

also do you walk around with a barbell and a few plates to show people how good you are at overhead presses and clean and jerks? the aim is to LOOK STRONG.. because if you look like a bag of shit and can clean and jerk 10 times more than someone who looks better.. no one cares.

ok man.. I get it.

I'm sure you also like neons under your car.

I bet you also own a ed Hardy t-shirt

And I'm certain you wax and get fake tans.

so you're a body builder.

during your weekends of recreationals, do you walk around in posing trunks?

since you're assuming I'm a powerlifter who walks around with a barbell and plates to do clean and jerks (cause you know, that is a power lifting event), I can only assume that you must always be waxed, fake tanned and oiled up in tiny trunks, who also carrys around a BB (probably an EZ bar) and 10kg plates so that you can PUMP every 30 minutes to maintain the "strong look"

Tell me, does your car have those fake Brembo caliper covers? because they have the LOOK of being STRONG brakes.

You'll wake up to your stupidity one day... But I don't expect you to be humble enough to admit it.

Again..

do you live close to FRANKSTON ?

If I could organise for a free gym session for you, would you go there?

nope i have a 44mm external gate and a high mount 3540 :D

i dont own an ed hardy tshirt and never will id rather spend 200+ on a good weekend or a pair of air max 90s

im not nicknamed "baboona" for no reason :D and im a light skinned wog and dont give a shit about it.

no, i live in thomastown.

what the hell are you trying to prove?

i dont think your a powerlifter.. never said you were. your upset because i defend the way i train and i say it works. and you got sand in your vag and had a hissy fit over it.. get over it man, its the wasteland :)

well you want to look strong, but you don't care if you really are strong.

so if you apply the same theory to your car, you would have bits that make it look really tough but be powered by an RB20e

essentially, your theory on your training and what you get out of it is like a GTR badge on a GTS

edit - I was hoping you would be near FRANKSTON as there is a little gym there that I wanted to you to have a session at.

and once you're done being outlifted by girls, perhaps you would rethink your methods.

    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
    • Might as well pop in some cams, head gasket, head studs, and a flex sensor. Full send.
    • Yeah I spent close to a year finding one. I was even tempted to buy a RB25DE N/A head and port it out. That latter option, could still be an option.
