I believe there is a storage unit being auctioned off in Sydney tomorrow filled with ex-commercial gym gear/equipment.. Trying to get details, however my contact isn't being as forthcoming as he should! Lol.

So if anyone is interested, will post up details when I manage to get a hold of them.

Pull ups and benching will usually suffice in the shoulder development department. If you're talking about "aesthetics", well, you're probably asking in the wrong forum..

If you are talking shoulder strength then pullups and bench arent going to cut it , unless you are wanting pretty ordinary abillity. Military/push press over bench any day. Balanced with external rotation movements to build strength through that motion. Thorasic spine and shoulder girdle strength are most peoples weak links.

Speaking as someone who used to do strict military press with more than 100kg for reps, including cleaning the weight (not off a rack)

You seem fairly knowledgeable in these areas rev, care to offer any insight on good ways to strengthen thoracic and shoulder girdle?

On another note, how do you guys stop your legs from bleeding doing deads? Long socks?

You don't have to drag the bar up your legs; you can pull the bar just in front of the shins etc.

Just give it time and practice...

Haven't had scraped shins for ages, but I used to get scabs when I was first starting out.

Socks / cup of cement, same thing :P

Haha doesn't bother me, but some people get worried if, god forbid, a drop of blood gets on the bar.

Curiously, if you can do normal deads how come you're doing Romanians?

Changed my training style a while back and these fit well into what I'm doing

I wear pants whenever I do deads, has helped but I still get bruising

mfw I have bigger calves than everyone in the gym apart from the 1 competetive bodybuilder and don't do any calf isolations at all.

regretting doing heavy db rows yesterday then heavy deadlift and volume squat today - lats and upper back did not want.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
