all I'm saying is the weight is just a number... why obsess over the number if your not competing... the number becomes meaningless if your just in the gym to keep fit/strong... Birds has even stated he's not looking to gain size just maintain his physique

'sub-par weights' what the fark does that mean!? he's lifting well over his body weight off his chest for reps... which is a shit load more than the average bloke in the street could manage

Fair enough then.

How much does Birds weigh? I thought I read 90-96kg somewhere? Anyway a bodyweight bench press might be impressive if you weigh 140kg+, but for an average joe it's pretty...average

Most people lifting sub-par weights hide behind the "I'm bodybuilding and strength isn't my goal blah blah" spiel, but they never get on stage so they aren't bodybuilders, they're just "weight lifters". So if you don't look like a bodybuilder, and you can't lift respectable poundages for the amount of time you've spent training, then I ask what the hell have you been doing in the weights room all that time? (provided you don't have an injury/doing rehab etc)

Bodybuilding is a form of body modification involving intensive muscle hypertrophy. An individual who engages in this activity is referred to as a bodybuilder

This is what you do in the gym when you 'weight lift".

I like how people concern themselves with what others can/can't lift...

2 of my mates, 1 is shredded to the crap house and he's never benched above 70kg. the other is on the chubby side and benches 90kg with ease. Both weigh 80-90kg.

Does that mean chubbs is more of a "bodybuilder" ? No....

Point being, numbers mean nothing.

Bodybuilder?, Weightlifter?, Powerlifter?

None of the above, hammer thrower (track and field athlete).

See why classifying everyone who lifts weights as a 'bodybuilder' is not only retarded but disrespectful to those who actually are bodybuilders? Do you know how much discipline is involved in being a top level bodybuilder?

That's funny because how much bodyfat you carry is determined by how much shit food you eat, and how strong you are is determined by how effectively you train.

Your mate Kwan has terrible taste lol

i dunno, whats on his plate looks pretty good.

you know whats gay? the gym im currently at doesnt actually have a bench press. when i asked why, they spun me some bs about bench being old tech and most gyms nowadays are gonna move to machine weights, which are better. im so looking forward to leaving this place pinch.gif

You're missing the point...

Now I'm sure you're just trolling. Bodyfat is determined by excess calories, you can eat 4000 calories of clean healthy food and still get fat...

Got a 'mate' that benched 125x6 yesterday at something like 85/90kg... He's 20, on his 3rd or 4th cycle and still looks pretty average.

Got another mate who had one of the best bodies I've ever seen (~100kg and ~5% bf) benched f**k all and had an enormous/perfectly shaped chest.

There's these things called genetics... They're the reason why people say I'm on steroids solely based on how my arms look. They're also the reason I'll never have a decent chest no matter how hard/well I train

The funny thing with genetics is they seem to improve the harder you train, and it's easy to spot people who don't put in the effort because they're too busy making excuses about genetics this or steroids that...

The funny thing about "steroids" is people think they lift the weights for you, prepare your 6-8 meals a day for you (and eat them for you too), make sure you get 8-10 hours sleep eveny night for you, hell they probably think they inject themselves for you and monitor their own blood tests for you too...

Mate I haven't posted anything childish, it's all factual information and legitmate correspondance. This isn't off-topic and incase you haven't realised I do have a strong interest in resistance training.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
