There's a pin-loaded seated leg press machine thingy I've used a couple of times, but unfortunately even on the max weight setting I still manage sets of 12+ reps lol

I like doing single-leg incline press with ~100kg loaded up after whatever my main leg exercise was (squats or proper leg press).

Fortunately for me, our leg presses use the old thin holed 25kg plates, which only fit on that and the smith machine. So our plates stay in the area or on the leg press itself...usually find 8 plates already on there thanks to a lazy individual.

not sure if it's been posted yet but:

guy faints squatting 180kg (vid inside link)

Think we've all seen this before...

Honestly, any gym where guys are trying to squat probably 2x or more of their body weight on a front squat is going to have the potential for failure, nothing special about it being in Markos gym, other than if it was a commercial gym it would've been 120kg instead.


When I thought I'd badly done my back I fully dropped the bar on the safeties hard core, there was just no video.

Sometimes we will fail.

You know what else helps squats and deads?

I started a new thread on Marty and put up his NEW video after I started getting calls from news networks.

This is going to get bigger.

Funny how nobody wants to know about his 290kg deadlift but theyre all over a missed front squat lol

I'm surprised you're not getting told off for making your lifters do unsafe things like squats LOL

This..

Imagine that bloke from L33sh's Gym reaction if someone tried that at his gym lol He would of had a coronary

    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
    • Gee she looks a bit rear heavy in that first pic! Sounds like a great project with the kids, but as I guess you know R series stuff is getting hard to find and pre that is pretty much impossible these days
