You do realise how much an IPF certified combo is compared to a monolift?

110kg

Yeah I'm not talking Eleiko gear. We're allowed to use our regular generic stands and bench in local comps, as long as dimensions are correct. Every gym in the country almost has a power rack that squats can be walked out of. The expensive part is the calibarated plates and comp bar.

Your mate would be 17th in Australia this year if he totalled that in an IPF comp. Puts it a bit more into context when you say he's been training for 5 years.

I also said he used wraps though. His best is 260 without them

Another big name dropping out of the Olympia.

Kai Greene gone, not allowed to compete and not allowed to attend the expo.

This adds to Dana Linn Bailey and Steve Cook both not competing.

Any confirmation on Greene's non attendance?

Why ergh?

Heath looks amazing

preferred Dexter over him. Also hopped Wolf would come in better.

I did see a still of all of them on stage and heath did look the most symmetrical out of the bunch.

Also, I dislike Heath whenever Olympia comes around. He becomes the biggest douche bag in the world

So many people offended people

Mainly all fat people

would have been a good competition between these two

I think i still prefer Phil's physique

Recent events with Kai annoys me. He always gives 15mins ramblings of why he didn't compete

  • Like 1

Wouldn't of mattered, still would of gave it to heath. I thought Wolfe would of been fighting for #1, but I'm not a judge.

Yeah id say you are right but it would have been good to see.

I wasnt impressed with Wolfe, i actually liked Dexter this year.

But heath was probably the most rounded

My back has been feeling OK lately so I've added squats back into my training again, I've also swapped out my accessories for more basic stuff, I'm on my second month of it and so far so good.

Benching more than I squat is arse at the moment but as long as I take it slow it will progress nicely.

Its still based on 531 by Jim Wendler which is a simple and effective program which is easy to use.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
