Has anyone had experience with the Hex Trap bar?

Looks like it could be a bit easier/safer on the back.

I'm not about to buy one, just a random discussion topic more than anything.

Part of me thinks that it'd allow you to lift more without risking the back, but at the same time makes me think that if the back is supposed to be getting a workout during DLs then you're kind of cheating.

I'm thinking it makes the squat a pull exercise rather than push too.

Looks like it just targets your legs and traps more due to being able to load more weight onto the bar and retain a more upright/vertical spine.

You're right, somewhat defeating the purpose....though I'd definitely give it a shot myself right now - surely better than not doing deadlifts at all :P

Yes you will, I'm pretty sure your post count will start going backwards now too.

Until you go and squat again.

And don't hate on vagina's a decent one can take an absolute pounding.

I didn't squat last night when I was supposed to, will I lose all my gains?

If you don't mind contracting superaids and head cancer, you have nothing to worry about.

People keep referring to vaginas in a derogatory sense, implying weakness.

It's been said before, that testicles are pretty damn fragile, but the vagina can take a pounding by comparison.

Take that how you will :D

Exactly. Doing this exercise to avoid an injury that never used to be there is defeating the purpose of building the back stronger.

Stronger back = deadlift more.

Working the rest of the muscle around the problem makes those muscles stronger, but not the injured ones = imbalances

Imbalances are right up my alley, I should definitely get one.

Just gettig freight quotes on racks at the moment.

What?

I'm saying deadlift the proper way after, in this case back, is healed.. Not do something that is a way around fixing the issue.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      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 🍻
