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

  • 2 weeks later...

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

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
