the PCYC has a court upstairs so I'll go shoot hoops for 15mins to warm up... then squaaaats;)

put a hoop up recently... on the front of the car port... haven't had a hoop since I was living at home many moons ago... daylight savings is awesome, get home from work and have enough daylight to shoot around

having a basketball game the day after a powerlifting comp doesn't work particularly well... feels like your in slow motion... epic lower back pump

Bought myself a close grip handle for T-bar rows since the one my gym has for the seated row is a ghey piece of shit without a recession to sit the bar in between the handles. Turned up yesterday (I think it was overnight delivery lol). f**k I love T-bar rows, back is really feeling it all the way through my traps and lats right now.

One of the many great purchases out there to take to the gym with me. For $35 it's not bad.

I find T bar rows the best back exercise for the mid back... especially with the little v handle... better than barbell rows IMHO

I always use the smaller 10kg plates for this... makes for more loading/unloading but you can get a better ROM as the bigger plates hit you in the chest before you can really get your elbows up and back

you can also use that handle on the pull up bar... lean back a bit and pull your chest up the the handle etc

This post. Spot on. Love it.

I can get a better contraction with my hands in that position... I feel it works the rhomboids better... as long as your not too upright and using lots of body english to swing the weight up (then it becomes a half shrug movement)

I also like Pendlay rows and one arm dumbbell rows... The Pendlay's I like to go heavy and not too strict on form... T bar and dumbbell rows done strictly with a pause at the top

barbell rows into my stomach, navel region... T bar rows into my sternum area

reverse flyes for rear delts... powercleans for traps... pull ups for lats... Deadlifts for all of it

love training back lol

Ok so i'm going to try Rippetoe's starting strength for the first time tonight. I'll be working at it for 6-8 weeks over this summer as I now have down time to sleep and eat a bit better now that my CIT course is finished.

Lets see what sort of strength gains I can make...

Got Milk?

PS - there isn't enough deadlifting in his program...

I know he goes on about it needing more recovery time etc etc.

But I got stuck on a shit weight for a long time doing it his way.

added more volume for deadlifts and shot up many kilos for it.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
