feet wider than hands yeah? never tired those

They be the ones.

Good fun if you are looking to mix it up for plateau smashing purposes.

Bench dips with a 65kg ezy bar on crotch area was quite a gamble, slight slip and its goodbye fathers' day

lulz.

seated row technique is debated... I treat it like I would do a standing barbell row or T bar row and lock my lower back in and don't move it... I've seen a lot of guys reaching right forward and rounding their back... I've always found that technique a little dubious

I used to row, in row boats - And you certainly don't reach right forward haha.

When i do them i do go forward, but not a full extended type stretch, you can often strain weaker muscles if you go too far with too much weight to drag back.

Just one exercise to be careful of IMO.

in a boat you slide your butt forward to reach yeah? while keeping your back pretty well locked then drive with your legs first?... a lot of my mates rowed in high school and taught me how to use the rowing machines... they have a couple at my gym and it has to rank as one of the worst used machines in the whole place, some of the techniques being used are maximum retard

great sport for building strength and endurance... has to be one of the most physically demanding sports you can do IMHO

I used to row a hard plastic dinghy around Port Phillip Bay when I was a kid...was definitely good exercise. I don't think it presents too much strain on the back as long as you're not leaning real far forwards...unless you have massive oars / oar faces then you won't have anywhere near the weight of seated row, just many many more reps of it lol.

You do slightly lean forward a bit, but not really from the lower back at all, that remains stationary as there is no major strength to benefit from.

Have a look @ some youtube videos, im sure there are some guides as there is for everything else lol

Typical gym DOUCHEBAG...

Wears:

-Asian beer singlet (Bintang, Tiger etc.)

-Local football league shorts or board shorts

-Kung Fu slippers (the more barefoot you look the better)

-A cap inside or peroxided hair or just woke up hair

Behaviour:

-Drives a Commodore or Falcon with an HSV/FPV bumper

-Uses only crossover cables for every single exercise

-Doesn't know how many sets he has left

-Won't offer to work in with you

-Works in with three of his friends at once; 1 minute breaks between each person

-Comes out of hibernation around the start of spring

Talks to his equally retarded gym pals about:

-His next trip to Bali in 2 weeks

-How sick Thailand was 3 weeks ago

-The girl from Saturday night who has now added him to facebook...and wants all three inches of his cock

-How many girls he's stringing alon at the moment

-His mate's relationships / cheating

-How cheap and low km his Commodore/Falcon was

Sorry douchebag...

It's not that all footy short wearers are gym douchebags, but all gym douchebags are footy short wearers. I've worn them myself on occasion. These guys aren't doing squads or deadlifts though...and why on earth do you wear a hat inside?

I care cause the fuckers hog machines and don't practice good gym etiquette. Had to do something while I was waiting for them to finish, so I wrote that demographic analysis, and in the time it took me, they probably did 2 sets each.

I wear the slippers lol

DIAF!

Anytime my hair is 'too long' (which is usually about 3-4 weeks after a haircut, I'll wear a hat pretty much everywhere. Surely you don't wear a hat to keep the sun off your face?

Never had an issue with people not letting me work in though, helps being bigger than the average member at my gym, but even those that are bigger than me don't seem to mind

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
