No gym for me tonight but my back and legs got a decent workout today assisting with this...

Off topic I know, but damn, what a process. So glad to be a man.

She might not bench or squat much, but I was pretty impressed with her strength today!

Squat PR this morning YEWWWWWW

PR as in a PB? Awesome job :D

Thanks guys, and a hat tip to the women in your lives who have had kids, not an easy process.

Back on topic. Can't saying having my feet strapped so tight has really made much of a difference to my back, and I haven't been doing any gym work since Friday and I wouldn't be inclined to say it's improving through not using it (not using it heavily through gym).

I'll get a start on the oblique work and see if that helps. Anyone have any personal favs improving oblique strength?

Cable woodchops (as I'm sure Birds will agree) are amazing for obliques. I can't find you a demo video right now since I'm at work and uboob is blocked :(

you must of totally missed my point last page about the squats/deads and weak core.....

Edited by jangles

Not at all, I know a strong core is needed and that doing the motion helps.

But if I'm having issues at only 50kg squat and SLDL hen I've either got some sort of imbalance due to my leg or poor core strength from being laid up.

Want to fix it so I can squat MOAR.

The fix to a weak core is to squat more.

to be able to squat more you need to squat more.

any further questions?

also, try overhead squats.. even light (which is all you'll be able to do at first) will smash this "core" you keep referring to.

I know you like reading so..

for those in the TL;DR group.

Squat!

    • Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.
    • Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way
    • Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate 
    • He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.
    • Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?
