Not sure if the entire insertion is missing, been years since I saw him with no top on and he doesn't really train, so no huge looking imbalance...but I do remember it looking a little strange in certain positions.

Guess that's another testament to my argument that bench press is not first and foremost a chest exercise...people without a pec can still do it, albeit with limitations.

My mate has very large triceps/arms. lifetime of compensation.

I've got the same thing, just assumed it was from injuries haha some people say its normal, some say its from injuries/imbalances.

My physio didn't mention anything about it when I was having my shoulder treated, so it cant be that much of a big deal.

I'll mention it to mine when I'm there next. I "think" I badly strained that shoulder many years ago in a high speed roller blading accident, yes I know.... lol

The body is assymmetric in many ways; one of the big issues competing bodybuilders face besides trying to put on the muscle and make it look good. Symmetry is often a judging criteria.

It's quite normal to have a natural imbalance like one shoulder sitting higher than the other. If it's because of a concurrent injury, then that's a different story. But if your technique is symmetrical, with no weaknesses on one side, or chronic injury on one side, I wouldn't worry about it.

My brother is missing a pectoral muscle or something and it causes his shoulder to slump on one side lol

I don't have even ROM on bench. I will be sure my grip is even on the bar but I run out of arm travel on the right (lower shoulder) side before the left.

Interesting. Still no big deal as long as it doesn't cause injury and you have no issue retracting your scaps to position yourself safely on a bench. It may lead to slight muscle imbalance aesthetically, I don't really know, but not a big impact on your training other than what you've mentioned. I have a long pelvis that sucks a bit for lifting with my lower back, as I believe ye olde torque principle applies here.

The more pressing issue for you, is telling your parents you're gay (rollerblading).

Rollerblading was the bomb, a lot faster than skateboarding.

I think I still have an old pair floating around in a box somewhere.

I confess I still have my K2 Moto Xtremes with all of 10 uses on them. That's $50 per use!

Getting pretty ghey in here with all this fruit booter talk.

I'm a skater (skateboard) rollerbladers are my mortal enemies haha

Interesting, Both your arms the same length?

I have pretty even rom I think, one side is obviously weaker than the other though.

I've got a pair of K2 Camanos, used em like 4 times lol. Got em second hand off an old workmate who'd also used them only a couple of time hahaha...just not quite my thing anymore.

I'm with Mitch on the bodyboarding though, holy shit is it the best way to spend time in the surf! Haven't done it in a while though, but have 4 days down the coast with housemates mid next month so definitely taking it with me :D

Currently at 937km of riding done since I bought my bike. Most consistent cardio I've ever done lol. f**king loving it, but still neglecting lifting big time :( particularly since it's been so farken hot lately! :(

    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
