all i do is bench, deadlift, and pullups....sometimes squat when i'm not being lazy. Seriously i struggle to spend more than 40 minutes in the gym these days.

But i have abs....how does that work???

Cmon guys, by now you should all know abs/being lean/ripped whatever you want to call it, is all diet. You can squat 300kg's and be fat, and you can squat 300kg's and be ripped.

The weights don't give a shit about your physique, they just want to be lifted. You alone are in control of your physique.

On a side note though, the more muscle you have, the more you can afford to eat junk food and shit....like me eating ice-cream every night ;)

Zoran beat Jesse by a point in the meet, awesome lifting by Zoran, this was his first ever meet. Zoran is the guy who contacted Bobby about PL in Frankston, and Bobby told him Frankston was cultural desert.

Zoran will be doing ProRawFour next month. Thanks Booby

Nick totalled 500kg, which was his goal, this is his 2nd novice comp

Brent pulled 250kg

Thanks to Emad, Graham, Wayne and Max for judging

Thanks to Jack, Ross, Pete, Daniel and Graham for spotting and loading

Thanks to Sussy for scoring

Thanks to all the lifters and large crowd spectating

Edited by markos

Thanks to all the judges and spotters/loaders... was great because everything moved so smoothly and quickly

cheers for the free Tshirt!... 'This object is the part of this territory' clearly someone in Slovakia was using google translate lol

looking at the video I think there was more in my bench and deadlift... pretty sure I maxed the squat though (it was pretty ugly)... Markos did say to take 165kg... so I took 170kg... maybe next time I should listen!

anyone who is thinking of having a go definitely should... pretty nice having people you don't know cheer you on... a very different atmosphere than your average gym

Good day out, atmosphere down there indeed really motivating (half the reason for my trip down), some very strong guys for a novice comp.

Solid effort Nick, 500kg total, huge!

Only took me 35mins to get home Nick, so realistically it's not that far provided traffic isn't farked. :D

wow that's great time... easy in that rolling couch your driving now;) good choice of car for after a squat session, a GTR isn't ideal haha

thanks for coming

TTT: cheers mate, hope you get that back sorted

Was good to finally meet Ash, I've know of him and known his mates for 6 years yet we've never met

Might repay the favour and support his new venture shotly

Lot longer than 6 years, I'd be pegging it at around 8-9!

Good to meet you in person finally as well, once I'm off shift work, I'll be down for a chat :)

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
