Sounds about right to me, but out of the mentioned movements all I really focus on is the clean and press, I am trying to learn to snatch but I am finding it a very hard movement to pull off.

Hence the only real clarification from me would be in the clean and press, well the press part any way, with a mil press the bar is pressed up but slightly forward, with the clean and press the press ends with the bar straight up and the head pushed forward with the shoulders pushed back (head through the window)like a clean and jerk.

Well at least this is how I was taught to do it, I firmly believe this is the best full body movement there is, others may differ but it is my fav, it smashes me and makes me puff.

Yes I'm a fan boy, plus it scares most of the gym plebs away from the rack area where they do their concentration curls for the girls,LOL.

Clean then military press for reps is an old favorite of mine. It's good to know you can pick the weight up off the ground as opposed to from a shoulder height rack. I haven't done it seriouslyt since a single attempt earlier this year , 105kg for a few reps, vid on my training log.

The press is always head through the window style. Unless you are sitting on reclined bench or doing the 'bro' version behind the head.

OK I need some clarification here on some lifts and what their goddamn f**king correct names are lol...I'll detail what I believe some they are, so just correct me if I'm wrong.

Clean

Loaded bar on ground > explosively lift bar and shrug it real high then get under it in to the bottom of a front squat position, then front squat it up to standing

Power clean

Same as clean, but starting from knee height a lighter weight that you can pull higher in the second phase of the lift and then a slight dip of the knees to get under it and catch it higher and then stand up.

Clean and jerk

As per clean above > Slight bend in the knees then press up through the legs hard and push the weight over head and drop to a lunge stance of sorts to get under the bar, while keeping the bar where it is to finish with it above your head and arms locked > move back to standing position

Clean and press

Same as clean and jerk, but final stage is a strict military/front overhead press from shoulder height rather than dropping your body under the bar

yep. but towards the end before it was removed from the olympics it kind of became more of a standing incline bench press.

Am I right?

I really couldn't care less if others grunted at the gym

Someone I know recently got banned from our gym for being too loud and doing 1RM's

Love this comment.

Omg, seriously??? If you don't like your testosterone gym, go some where else. There are now heaps of womens only gyms available. It really sounds like you are in the wrong gym. There is no need for over reacting. Also if you can't or don't want to join a womens only gym, there is also a thing called earphones. Whack one of them on, listen to your favourite tunes, and stop whining.

    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
