Cheers man, gets better though :P As of this morning I'm weighing in at 77kg...and managed that 180kg pull :D vid below - was a bit sloppy halfway up, not quite sure what happened but at least it wasn't an almost-failure point hahaha

Dude.. go see Shero about your form before you do pemanent damage.

I hope it was a one off but if your hips are rising that much each time before the weight comes off the floor then you are on your way to injury town soon.

Forget that you had a brain fart midway through the lift...

you basically lifted your arse right up, then you invented the first ever sumo stiff legged deadlift with a pause halfway up

bretty sure you're not allowed to discuss gear use on this board - AusBB has a gear section

Don't see any issues with it, aside from most members here having no real interest in steroids or the discussion thereof.

Also, swapped out the 3rd set of flat bench for 2 lighter sets of incline just to mix it up.

I'm assuming it's not normal for the bar to be flying around above me at only 50kg lol.

Clearly I'm lacking some strength in some supporting muscles when benching on that angle.

Do you regularly do incline? With a barbell or with dumbells? If the movement is new to you, it will take some getting used to. Start with a lighter weight (empty bar?) maybe?

No never, so it's a new thing.

It's already getting better, I think it was just a combo of it being very light and me not knowing what to hold/how to do the movement smoothly.

It was funny though.

I remember the first time I did decline bench - couldn't even get the bar up with 60kg on it, and that was when I had a 117.5kg flat bench. Then it wasn't long before my decline overtook my flat. Different movement will change everything!

What did I miss in his post that made it about steroid use? Clearly I'm not up with the lingo.

eat clenbuterol, trenbolone hard lol.

Troy I was under the impression that it was verboten to actively discuss it here - I find it an interesting topic, but have no plans to use myself (and I'd be mad to at this point).

I used to find decline easier than flat Birds - I have noticed that nobody uses the decline bench at the gym any more, has it fallen out of vogue now?

Clearly I do not even know enough about the topic to see the words in front of my face lol.

I could care less if people use it/don't use it. Claim they don't use when they do, or openly admit they do. Your body, your business.

If I was competing I'd care, I'm not so I don't.

i only really care when people who present themselves as role models or are teaching / instructing / motivating others lie about their use.

It's bad enough the legions of young guys who think they can look like an IFBB pro or Zyzz without chemical assistance, let alone those supposedly setting an example, Kali Muscle being a notable case.

The day this board prohibits DISCUSSION of AAS on the basis of them being illegal is the day you'll stop seeing my username anywhere in this section. Sourcing and price discussion shouldn't be allowed, of course...but anywhere or anyone that would rather force ignorance onto the curious has no place in my ideal community.

I don't think it'll ever get that far Troy.

By that standard we would also not be allowed to discuss burnouts, speeding, drifting on public roads, or things like speed, pot, etc.

A "discussion" hurts nobody. Condoning on encouraging illegal activities is quite another thing.

It is usually easier/stronger than flat bench, particularly if your flat bench position is a "flat back" style. I'm pretty sure powerlifters / pro-benchers try to mimick the angle of decline on flat bench with their severe back arching (as well as creating leg drive). It not only has less range of motion to travel through, but creates more leverage.

Since adopting a position like this, I've overtaken my pre shoulder injury PBs on bench press.

I have a friend who ditched flat bench altogether because he likes that decline gives him an extra few reps or 5kg more over flat bench lol

I totally agree with this. If someone is on the gear why do they feel they have to lie about it.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
