Cheers man. Didn't use to be. This section is completely new (like yours). The old section is still very "health club" like. Souths Juniors train here occasionally and they've got their first PL comp being held here next month.

Sounds exactly like my gym. Until now I'd been deadlifting in any open space I could find amongst the incline benches etc. Not all bad as you get to look good lifting heavy in front of people, but nothing beats a good platform and bar!

I'm gonna look into seeing if I can get my gym to put up a members record board.

^^ I agree. I hate the slippy slidey cross-fit style bars. I need proper knurling in the middle too, for squats.

You mean oly bars? The ones used for the Olympic lifts, not cross fit.

Iron edge bars have hit and miss knurling, couple I've used cut the hands up beyond a joke, not cut right or something, others are good.

So took my week off, ready to come back for a light session last night, went to be early instead due to flu, can't catch a break.

Just cannot catch a break. Drinking juice, taking multivitamin, eating yogurt, up'd protein intake, just cannot seem to get a run of more than a week or 2 of being somewhat "healthy".

Need some decent sleep too, being a parent is equivalent to having Ebola on every surface in your house :)

Other parents tell me it starts to improve after about 2-3yrs...

Basically yep. I think all our texas bars have the knurling in the middle except one or two that are dedicated for bench. We got 2x dedicated squat bars which are 25kg and thicker as part of the buy.

fancy gyms there - t the PL club I train at has mostly the ABC black anodized bars, there is a couple of Iron Edge ones that have finer knurling, they all feel pretty good to my hands, though the Iron Edge ones cut into the top layer of the skin with heavier deadlifts.

And shoulder, back and trap are le f**ked.

Have had some discomfort in my right shoulder particularly for awhile now but as of yesterday on bench it is now much much worse.

Booked in for a physio see what they say

Not good Mitch :( Hopeful you can just rest up and need nothing more than that.

I've made some small adjustments to my routine to hopefully stop going backwards, added weight, dropped from 3x8s to 3x6s for a while to build a little more strength again.

A guy here said he had huge success with back extensions/morning glory type exercises so I've removed the back plank I was doing and added swiss ball back extensions, trying to up my eating and get to bed earlier.

See how we go over the next few weeks.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
