Fuc$ you do a lot of flat bench press, maybe try doing more incline

I don't have an incline yet but when I do my pressing sessions will consist of flat bench, incline bench and overhead press. It has been said, to press a lot you must press a lot. Pressing on all angles makes you strong everywhere.

Bit of a side note, all the flat bench I did for years was with a close grip. The last few months I changed to a very wide grip. I was pretty weak at the beginning but eventually worked up to my 1RM with a wide grip in <3months. The wide grip is pretty impractical unless the goal is a power lift (reduced rom etc) because the wide grip hurts the crap out of my wrists and the movement feels stupid. I'm now using a middle grip which is in between close and wide grip and it feels great - works triceps and lats without feeling like it favours one over the other which the other grips did.

A few weeks ago I started following a simple plan of 5 sets 10 reps, if I get at least 7-8 reps on the last 2 sets then up the weight by 2.5kg. It's going great. Squats are really challenging (127.5kg next session) and bench feels a lot more solid now that I'm building up the volume and getting my upperbody used to doing a decent workload.

Weighed 74.5kg yesterday which is the most I've ever weighed so my diet is going well :)

Started in 2005, first ~2 years didn't know anything about training, just did bro curls and the usual shit etc.

Then got introduced to the fitness diet and bodybuilding section on ns.com and met Markos, where I learnt a lot, changed the way I train etc.

Since then have been lifting on and off, never as consistantly as I'd like which is why others have made much better gains in the same space of time.

At the end of last year my Fitness First membership expired and I changed to PTC Brisbane in Kallangar and have been training there ever since every Monday/Wednesday/Friday and have only missed 3 sessions in that whole time.

It's around 40mins drive for me to get there but it's worth it. It's a porper lifting environment to get strong. Very hard to achieve the same results in a regular gym.

Having a room full of the best equipment doesn't make a good gym.

The people who train at a gym make it a good gym.

This is what I mean by "the right lifting environment".

If you've never trained at one you won't understand.

I used to have my own gym setup in my garage, made good progress but stalled.

The progress I've made whilst training at PTC has been much better.

I'm not saying you have to train at a specific place to get better, I'm saying that it has helped me.

Nice. I know what you mean by the right gym., it's all about the atmosphere/vibe

That's fair enough, like I said it's just my view. My gym is full of f**kheads and arrogant smelly Indians who all think they're massive, but I train how I want and wouldn't train any differently no matter where I was

Combine lat pull down with over grasp pull ups, when u can do any more

Pull ups, jump to the top and do negatives... Works a mint

I might also be joining a Stepz 24/7 gym that's only a hundred meters down the road to go there on the odd days to do the ancillary work that PTC doesn't have that sort of equipment to cater for such as lat pulldown, cable row, dumbbells etc

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
