Dan tore his pec pretty badly earlier in the year. He switched to reverse grip to take the load off his pec, and found out he's stronger with that grip.

His PB when he tore it was 167.5kg, done on the same session he tore his pec, I think he'll get 185kg next weekend

I've watched enough PTC videos to know you know what you're talking about when it comes to strength training and getting real results. It's why I try and follow your method of training.

When you put it like that, I now understand why you say that we aren't going to get to that level training by ourselves in commercial pleasure spa gyms. Explains a lot actually about the difference of actually training there, rather than just seeing it as you teasing us with the unattainable for the sake of it.

I do believe you get it now Bozo

You could go out into the street and kick a footy around for hours, and never be as good as the guys in the AFL, even Richmond players lol

So PTC isnt simply a gym, so much more

We have lifters train at PTC in Carrum Downs that live in Caroline Springs, Elwood, Fitzroy, Croyden, Templestowe.

Looks like a gun teen lifter is moving from Adelaide to Carrum Downs to simply train with us before the end of the year.

You have got it bozo

Im not 'training' at the moment . I am mucking around. I will be training when i get serious and go to a gym

Not what i do at the moment

All these factors are in context that i mention. Training. Not pissing around

Over doing it = undereating or sleeping

Exactly this. It's less "over training" and more "under resting" so to speak. Another reason I got such got results when I was unemployed lol, had all the time in the world to recover.

That exercise is how I injured myself

Standing press is a good movement , however it needs good technique like all good movements as it's a compound one. It's not hard to do but, you should understand it.

People get taught to do it wrong or not at all. The stabilisation strength of the upper back and shoulders is very important. If you are managing a challenging weight , then not doing things correctly can hurt your upper back/spine. Mostly people do the basics wrong. Not drawing in lots of air and stabilising the core (abs are tense but, pushed out). I. Also,pre-fatiguing the shoulder stabilsing muscles with things like volume bench press or other isolation shoulder movements beforehand is a fail.

Behind the head is not a beginners variation let alone snatch grip width.

It was my first exercise of my program so I wasn't pre fatiguing with other volume work, but something went wrong when I started doing 25kg. I used to have alot of people ask me why I was doing behind the head.

I don't think it was this exercise that got you. You were using fine technique last I saw you do it. It could have aggravated a predisposition, certainly.

So my shoulder went twaannngg during the exercise and it wasnt this exercise that has left me screwed?

What was it then?

It would be the technique then Leesh. Were you also taking the bar off the ground with a 'clean' or did you take it out of a rack? Picking it up off the ground is good training but, you need to know how to do it right also.

I did test of a few 100kg military press sets today (I clean & press these) ,speaking with some reasonable past experience. I would not consider behind the neck press at any weight a part of my training if I was to seriously bother. It requires more scapular strength to stabilise if you do it right and stresses the rotator more, pretty much for no other reason than to be a hero.

Once you get better drop the behind the neck thing. You can get tips on Military press if you want to do it correctly, I think it's a good compund movement.

clean and jerk to get it up behind my head.

ALike I said, you were likely predisposed...this exercise may have simply been the straw that broke the camel's back. It'd quite a strict movement; one of the reasons it is done behind neck, because there is little variance in the range of motion. As long as you're taught and execute it correctly, this makes it one of the safer shoulder exercises. But no amount of safety in a range of motion will save you if not everything is sitting right when you do it.

Just use a squat rack when you get back into it. get the technique sorted on the standing press. It's pretty easy with practice and one less thing to worry about while getting it perfect.

So are you suggesting to use the squat rack and do it behind my head still?

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
