underhand grip doing rows puts the wrists in a bent back position.

and using a straight bar means they are bent back and twisted out. Then from there they get pulled upwards by the arms, and downwards by gravity.

Use double overhand grip.

either thumb under or over to see what works best.

cheers, makes sense as to what the issue could be.

Bought commercial cable cross over for $100, a second corner cross over unit for a friend of mine for $180, laying down back row for $90, commercial peck deck for $20 (that's right, $20) and a commercial ab crunch machine for a friend for $20. If I had more space, or had known that it was going to be that cheap, would have organised some storage space and bought a lot more. couldn't believe the prices. will post pics tomorrow once I have it either in the work bay or hopefully at home. the $100 is missing the cables that go with it, so will have to source them somewhere, but that's easy enough.

Having seen your dumbell racks I'm guessing you'll be charging membership fees for your garage soon...

I wish I had seen this auction before I bought all my gear. Would have saved thousands

Full commercial power rack went for $180. It was ridiculous.

Worst marketed auction ever. I only saw it on gumtree and decided to pop in see what was there. There were about 30 people there, and they were all looking to privately buy equipment for their homes.

A lot of the gear was very badly presented as well, covered in dust and some of it in mould, with scratches here and there, but it was still fully functional.

I will post pics by end of the week once I get it all home and cleaned up and assembled.

I think I get away with no wrist issues due to using bitch gloves that wrap around and support the wrist a little.

Just buy a proper pair of wrist wraps from the likes of Inzer or Titan and wrap them properly before a set.

If there is still pain you might need some fascia release or treatment on the muscles or tendons.

finally, a pic appears.

going to have to move the tv cabinet thingy and fan out and put the pec dec there and will wall mount the tv above the dumbbell rack.

have sold the calgym chest press, and am now already a few hundred ahead of what I paid for all the gear. wish I had bought more....

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
