To all you deadlift mofos

You guys haven't done a proper deadlift unless you use this fat 3" bar

I've done it in the past

It def helps your grip strength and lift more and next time you pick up an generic oly bar you will think its a tooth pick

how much does it weigh?

That's ol school thick bar btw

You can get lighter thick bars

I could barely use a 3" bar cuz I'm not tall and found that a 2" thick bar was best fit and weigh a lot less than that ol dinosaur bar (under 25kg)

Yeah fair enough. I like having a 20kg bar because It's easy for me to do my sets with 20kg and 10kg plates. I have 20's on each side for warmup, I then add 10's on, then I have 2 20's, then 2 20's and a 10 either side for my max weight. Then take the 10's off and do 100kg for volume.

good stuff.

I like the gym banner btw - makes perfect sense

haha yeah, dungeon rules.. I love the gym to bits

lol I used to call my old gym the dungeon (wasnt called that but that is what I refered it to as being)

Plain and simple - no spa, no yoga / pilates mambo jumbo, no sauna, weights were very old but useful with dumbels up to 50kg (not that I ever lifted that - but 40kg I did lol)

cardio equipment - basic stuff treadmil, stepper (one of favs), cross trainer (also a good one) and bike and rowing machines)

Was a great gym - and now I just realise how much I miss it :unsure:

Not one piece of cardio at dungeon, we only got a couple of mirrors the other day too

mirrors lol

You'll probably spend more time checkin yourself out than working out

Send them back and get more weights instead

Grip used to be my problem for deadlifts, giving out before my back did, but with mixed grip and chalk it's my back that gives out first.

So I won't have a bar of it Ants...know what I'm chalkin about?

could still try it - bar costs $40

Just drop weights off and see how you go

It will improve your grip

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
