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

    • So I'm going to have to keep ignoring the 4.7 update, or whatever version it is? Poop. I was hoping you'd put me out of my misery.
    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
