the possible Issue with mixed grip (rare) is a torn bicep.

Having that hand turned out puts the bicep in a kind of flexed position.

Gotta be careful not to bend the arms when doing deads (some people have a habbit close to lockout on really heavy weights to flex that arm a little)

It's a common injury in Strongman comps during the tyre flip events.

as you grab the tyre with both hands, palms up and lift to get it off the ground.

mixed grip has nothing to do with shoulders.

Using straps will probably help you lift more weight, but it just masks a weakness.

masking a weakness leads to injury

It's not that I have trouble with grip it's more the fact I have no powder and there is none at gym and over 100kg hurts the callus on the hands.

who uses powder? :/

your deadlift is improving Troy :D

haha, I should add I haven't managed to lift 170kg by the way!! Most I've locked out is 165kg. Have recently reset weight and doing 4 sets of 5 reps. Currently on 135kg, stepping up 2.5kg each session.

lol riiiiiggghhhhttttt... a freind gave me a big bag of chalk once... never used it

He means Chalk.

and all the cool people use chalk.

Yup and thanks, the voice of reason.

This is true lol.

Gonna go back to a simplified routine as well for a little while, just don't have patience to deal with 5 different exercises per session now that the gym is full of new-year resolution clowns.

Squats, deadlifts, bench press, OHP, pull ups.

Shoulder injury currently.

When I'm fine I'd do 3 sets on wednesday

so it would go

Bench, Rows, OHP, chins

My shoulder injury is due to a lot of things, but a major one is more pressing then pulling.

so now on the mend, I just do bench, then lots of pulling..

I'll add them back in later.

    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
