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.

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
