ProRawFour will be held on Saturday November 10 at the Frankston Art Centre. I have $5000 cash and $2000 in prizes for the lifters so far. We have around 40 signed up already. As well as the Trophies, Protein and Cash that I am giving away, the winner in each of the 5 divisions will get a giant novelty cheque to keep. Come and watch if your free, its a pretty special show, a little bit Rock'nRoll. I own ProRaw so I am not bound by any Federation rules, I am a law unto myself

Markos I'm still thinking about entering, what are the requirements and when do enteries close?

I'm sure I can get 520kg or so... I don't have enough pride to worry about coming last lol

Will you be using the texas bar for deadlifts? I still haven't maxed that sucker!

Soft suit is a one piece tightish outfit.

kind of like what wrestlers wear or triathletes.

they don't have any carry over to helping you lift.

it's just to help the judges make a decision (makes it easy to see if you are squatting low enough or if your hips are locked out for deadlift) and it also makes for a uniform look to the sport.

The knee braces are called "knee wraps". it is a 2 - 2.5 meter, stretchy material this is wrapped around the knees.

Depending on how tight you can handle them on there, has a fairly large carry over to squats (which is the only time they are allowed to be used)

By Back brace I assume you mean a Belt. Yes it is allowed in RAW competition (as are the knee wraps) but neither is mandatory.

if you learn to use them, they both have a carry over and allow you to lift more weight.

Wrist wraps are allowed during Bench and Squats.

My lifters mainly use my Progressive Poundage Program (PPP) that I sell online for $20

Nick on here has just purchased it and is making good progress. I have it up on the walls in the gym

Its been around for about 3 years now. There are actually a few others on here who got it years ago

CS Student, Gareth, used it with great success. At only 84kg or so he squatted 210kg, benched 130kg and deadlifted 230kg from memory

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
