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.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
