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

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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
