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

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
