Emad weighed 77kg on Saturday and squatted 232.5kg, thats triple bodyweight

He will smash the Open WR in the 75kg class at Worlds. The record is 615kg

In training last week he did 232.5/132.5/260 - 625kg

He has a mangled shoulder, just had a reconstruction, so his bench is down. He benched 150kg at under 80kg at ProRawThree

He has also deadlifted 270kg.

He will squat 240kg at Worlds, bench 135kg and deadlift 265-270, all at 75kg, thus smashing the WR.

Unfortunately in the major city centres your only gym options are major chains like good life and fitballs first.

Closest thing to Sydney city would have to be in North Sydney.

Markos - where can I get a flat bench in the proper comp dimensions? (just the bench.. not an entire bench press setup.

Just need a bench to use in the power rack I've got.

The adjustable incline/flat one I have is crap with the gap between the 2 seats and is too high off the ground.

I had Scott measure his one we used at Nats and everything I've found so far is either not wide enough or too tall etc.

this is the closest I've found

Markos, do you know of any 6ft olympic bars that have 120cm or more between the inside of the collars? But still have around 25cm worth of room for weight plates on each end? It doesn't have to have a wild weight capacity or anything and I'd prefer to try an keep costs down if possible.

Thinking about making up my own home gym, but a 7ft bar will be too long for the space.

Ladies Olympic bar is the only one on the market thats the full distance between the collars but overall shorter, so it fits in racks

They weigh 15kg and only have a 25cm diameter as opposed to 28.6mm for a full size bar

ABC sell them, not cheap, but very, very strong

How come you cant accomodate another 6" either side?

I'm limited for space in my garage and a 7' bar would only be about 10cm or less from the wall on each side.

The womens bar sounds ok, can you still fit 3 or 4 20/25kg plates on either side? (thinking longer term here)

I had a look on the abc website but I can't see the bar you are talking about. I can only see a 6'4 bar that's 18kg. It would probably be ok as well, so I'll look into both.

Do you know what the pricing is like for the abc bars, particularly the 6'4 bar and the women's 6ft? They don't have pricing on the website...

Thanks for your help

Mine is a proper needle bearing Olympic lifting bar, 15kg, cost over $500

The 18kg bars may be made for Health Spa's, should be cheap

4 plates will easily fit on my bar

Mens bar is 2200mm

Ladies bar is 2000mm

The length is taken out of the sleeve, 100mm each side

I know nothing about cheap bars, only official bars

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
