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...

Post a photo of your mum and I'll judge your family..

You started this childish shit, I just wanted to add to it :(

I'll pay that. Motherf**ker knows how to eat.

I knew this would be good,

Troy I'd be watchin what u say mate, that Kwan dude looks like he could pick u up over his head lol

never know who u will meet in real life

lol I'm just being a prick and shit stirring (though still, IN MY OPINION my post holds true lol)

You started this childish shit, I just wanted to add to it :(

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.

    • Had I known the diff between R32 and R33 suspension I would have R33 suspension. That ship has sailed so I'm doing my best to replicate a drop spindle without spending $4k on a Billet one.
    • OEM suspension starts to bind as soon as the car gets away from stock height. I locked in the caster and camber before cutting off the kingpin. I then let the upright down in a natural (unbound) state before re-attaching it. Now it moves freely in bump and droop relative to the new ride height. My plan is to add GKTech arms before the car is finished so I can dial camber and caster further. It will be fine. This isn't rocket science. Caster looks good, camber is good, upper arm doesn't cause crazy gain and it is now closer to the stock angle and bump steer checks out. Send it.
    • Pay careful attention to the kinematics of that upper arm. The bloody things don't work properly even on a normal stock height R32. Nissan really screwed the pooch on that one. The fixes have included changing the hole locations on the bracket to change the angle of the inner pivot (which was fairly successful but usually makes it impossible to install or remove the arm without unbolting the bracket from the tower, which sucks) and various swivelling upper arm designs. ALL the swivelling upper arm designs that look like a capital I (with serifs) suck. All of them. Some of them are in fact terribly unsafe. Even the best one of them (the old UAS design) shat itself in short order on my car. The only upper arm that works as advertised and is pretty safe is the GKTech one. But it is high maintenance on a street car. I'm guessing that a 600HP car as (stupidly, IMO) low as you are going is not going to be a regular driver. So the maintenance issues on suspension parts are probably not going to be a problem. But you really must make sure that however your fairly drastically modded suspension ends up, that the upper arms swing through an arc that wants to keep the inner and outer bolts parallel. If the outer end travels through an arc that makes that end's bolt want to skew away from parallel with the inner bolt, you will build up enormous binding and compressing forces in the bushes, chew them out and hate life. The suspension compliance can actually be dominated by the bush binding, not the spring rate! It may be the case that even something like the GKTech arm won't work if your suspension kinematics become too weird, courtesy of all the cut and shut going on. Although you at least say there's no binding now, so maybe you're OK. Seeing as you're in the build phase, you could consider using R33/4 type upper arms (either that actual arm, OEM or aftermarket) or any similar wishbone designed to suit your available space, so alleviate the silliness of the R32 design. Then you can locate your inner pivots to provide the correct kinematics (camber gain on compression, etc).
    • The frontend wouldn't go low enough because the coilover was max low and the upper control arm would collapse into itself and potentially bottom out in the strut tower. I made a brace and cut off the kingpin and then moved the upright down 1.25" and welded. i still have to finish but this gives an idea. Now I can have a normal 3.25" of shock travel and things aren't binding. I'm also dropping the lower arm and tie rod 1.25".
    • Motor and body mockup. Wheel fitment and ride height not set. Last pic shows front ride height after modifying the front uprights to make a 1.25" drop spindle.
