Haven't noticed any difference energy or strength wise, its not like you stop making your baby batter, you just don't fire the stuff out the barrel, like everything lots of people have lots of different views and opinions of the procedure.

Just like the good "General Jack D Ripper" said, "I do deny them my essence".

And I don't need to bother with the half concern concept, some do, not me though.

Just glad I can do the exercise again after all my shoulder troubles in the past, let alone set new PBs - human body is an amazing thing sometimes!

It really motivates me knowing there are people my weight easily benching 160+

Gives that perspective that what I'm doing and aiming for can be easily accomplished

Which is exactly why the last time I deadlifted anything, it was that 190kg PB well over a month ago hahaha

I know deadlifts are pretty much THE BACK EXERCISE, PERIOD....but given I'm not too interested in powerlifting specifically, I'm forgoing on them again for a while. At least when I'm keen to include them again, I'll start from the bottom again ensuring form is immaculate by taking advantage of an offer put forward by the (now former) owner of Elite Physique here in Canberra - Billy Giampaolo - to show me how it's done haha. Ahh, Billy's a legend.

I did that too...took a sabbatical from them to focus on squats and rest my back, as my back was starting to get regular stretchy feelings especially with the regular 1RM attempts. Glad I did because my squat has come up a fair bit from what it was and now I've reintroduced deads, they are much lighter but I have heaps better form.

Always good to reset form once in a while and take a break from a particular exercise, particularly when you're not competing in lifting or anything. Sometimes it's as good as a break from the gym.

Yeah im on average 6 days a week no cardio. If i add cardio i dont drop any weights days either.

Been riddled with sickness lately been thinking about having a full month off. Dont think that will happen every time a try it doesnt even last a week. Did someone say ADD i can never sit still!

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
