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

    • Remember this is the same person who said he’d never own an nc 
    • ouch! how is the car now?I had sold my gtr but have been looking into some on trademe and a 260RS but I wouldnt be keen on any repairs needed on them
    • This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.
    • Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.
    • My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.
