Get the contact details and call up and speak to Dan or Paul.

Tell them you want to be shown how to squat, bench and deadlift with correct form.

they are open all week and Saturday's I think.

Make a time to visit and get taught all 3.

probably cost you $20 for the session.

Most important thing you'll get out of it are cues. Things to remember when doing the movement.

Eg squat:

sit back

knees out

chest up

Deads:

shoulders back

Back arched

push the floor away.

Also if you are doing something odd that you don't feel, they will see it and tell you so you know to fix it.

You can watch all the vids you want but a simple coaching session will be 100 times more beneficial.

Leesh. Just visit ptc Perth. Once.

it'll be worth it.

Deadlift will be slightly different for everyone. Different length arms, legs etc etc....

YouTube - mark rippetoe deadlift

He teaches it well.

I always figured you for a fan of Rippetoe!

This gave me a crucial pointer. I was breaking at the knees first rather than bending from the waist to lower down the thighs then breaking the knee.

This might help my clearance issue, I'll try it tomorrow.



Fell asleep way early last night (8:15pm or so, early as all hell by my standards) resulting in waking up at 4:30 this morning knowing I wouldn't be going back to sleep....today was the first time in many many months I've actually got up at such a stupid hour and stayed up, let alone done something productive with this time by going to the gym. Morning sessions THIS EARLY make for pretty some half arse lifts lol...though at least I'm up to 44kg working sets on DB press now :)

I don't know how people exercise in the mornings. I find I've got far less strength and given I don't have much anyway it essentially means I'm wasting my time.

That and It takes forever to warm up.

Props for getting in and getting it done.

I trained at out under the patio at 5am for about 3 years.

Winter was always much much harder... temp wise and lighting.

The last thing I wanted to do was hold on to that freezing cold bar.

As the years went by, each winter just got harder and harder and the knees and back took longer and longer to warm up.

It was good though.. by the time I got to work I'd already been up for 3 hours and done my lifting... Could just sit around and eat all day.

Train evenings now.

I prefer to train in the mornings. When I've been dedicated to going to the gym, it's been at 5-6am (the primary reason I changed to Jetts from Fitness First). Partially has to do with having a dad who's ex-military... also has to do with me liking regularity in my regime. Work can finish anywhere from 5-midnight so makes it tougher to stick to a schedule.

With that said, one of the guys that used to work with us had this supplement that was also an energy lifter. He wouldn't drink coffee at work in the mornings because this stuff had him going.

Anyone know what I'm talking about? Have been feeling my energy levels steadily depleting over the last 12 months and could do with a boost to get me back into my routine. If it helps, the stuff he was using was in a white bottle, with black label and red writing.... as generic as that is..

Any help would be appreciated!

Yeah, what Tolga said. What you're looking for should only be used on the odd occasion you're run down from lack of sleep or just a busy day. Long term energy problem are either going to be chronic fatigue/consistent sleep loss, or just a shitty diet. Any other possible causes will definitely not be fixed by an energy drink as they're either illness related or hormonal.

Just eat more.

    • That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.
    • They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!
    • I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.
    • Define "starting to fail". Wy not just rebuild them?
    • Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
