: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

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
