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.

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
