:yes:

well nismo?

so I went down to the PTC yesterday... cool little gym and friendly bunch of people, thanks Markos!

I took it relatively easy as I've never been to a PL comp before and didn't want to embarrass myself... so definitely some more in my squat, and heap more left in the deadlift... totally underestimated how nice the proper DL bar is to use and could've easily gone 200+... maybe next time;)

Squat > 160kg

Bench > 110kg (failed @ 115kg)

Deadlift > 190kg (should've opened with this)

not a bad effort considering I don't train for power lifting... but some super strong guys down there, makes for a humbling experience!

Not sure how to embed video from FB here? can't link due to privacy settings on my FB page

Nick did really well, his only issue was weight selection. His last deadlift of 190kg should have been his opener, I think Nick could have pulled 210kg+

This was a novice comp with mostly first timers, none of the 9 lifters I have going to Worlds lifted, theyre really strong

Nick also displayed excellent technique on all the lifts

As far as equipment goes, nothing better than what we have exists, we have the highest standard available anywhere in the world

The bar they guys benched and squatted with costs $2000, the calibrated plates are $14kg

This is important as we send lifters to Worlds.......no surprises when we get there

Tom, the best gym in the ACT is Elite Physique

They hold numerous comps there. Next one is the GPC National Push/Pull, a bench and dead only comp

This event will be held on the same day in VIC, NSW, ACT, WA, QLD, NT, November 18.

South Australians are coming to Vic to compete this year

Nick missed out on the competitors meeting, I explained we judge hard

Even though its a novice comp, we judge it like a Worlds, no second chances or whoopsies

One guy had his 175kg bench press red lighted because he put the bar back before the rack call

Massive difference between gym lifts and comp lifts

Nick now has official comp lifts to judge his progress by

If any of you guys feel like helping out some of the NSW peeps that would be great.

They have just started a thread for all of them to get healthy.

Seems to be a lack of good info other then exercise.

Drop in and give some tips if you have some free time

    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
