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! :(

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
