Fair enough haha

Like birds said people aren't symmetrical, I ask about the arm thing because people overlook the most obvious stuff.

You'd be able to tell without measuring

Kate said my right hand sits lower than the left when standing, but that's the "low" shoulder.

Will have to measure.

Though I don't see how arm length affects how high the shoulder sits?

Or are you talking about discrepancies in length of bar travel in a movement, which makes sense but was not my original question.

Dan - have you had a spinal xray?

It's probably just not straight.

Mine is like a slight S bend.

My right shoulder hangs lower, further down my right hip is a little higher, making my right leg 5ml shorter.

You can't tell unless you really pay attention.

You can't do anything about it.

Apart from maybe run for local member of parliament.

I have never noticed this thread but so glad I have now haha

Anyway, anyone got some good exercises for traps? I struggle with getting some variety for my traps. Only thing I do is barbell shrugs, dumbell shrugs and upward rows.

farmer's walk, deadlift.

Has anyone tried 5/3/1 before? Thoughts on it? I was going to start it as my intermediate program, once I hit the 120kg bench and 200kg deadlift goals I currently have.

Ahhh I might give the farmers walk a crack. Looks like it's what I need. I need to deadlift but jsut can't figure it out and don't wanna put my back out haha

good for grip too. Only downside is the looks you get in the gym from carrying around dumbbells lol.

Haha yeah, that's the only thing I'm hesitant about. People will think I'm lost and can't find "my space" on the weights floor.

Yep. But not for long enough the last time I gave it a go.

Doing it again now for bench and OHP, Only at week 2.

It's great for some and not so much for others.

Give it a go and judge for yourself.

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
