That is the GPC Top 10 by Glossbrenner without age correction. Anything over 400 is obviously excellent.

Max, Jackson, Firas and Martin are still juniors, so thats an excellent effort

Odell Manuel registered over 500 Glossbrenner points at ProRawFour, freak

1 Ricky Goddyear - 479.51

2 Scott Wasson - 443.57

3 Dave Parmitter - 431.75

4 Firas El Achkar - 431.64

This probably belongs in that female thread, but I'm staying put lol

An ex client, long story, cant train here but wants to,

She is an ex walker, walked miles, everywhere, 3 hour walks were nothing. 10,000 steps to a higher bodyfat % were done weekly.

Very high body fat %, at a guess, 40%

She gives up and joins PTC. Because of her muscle wasting activities and zero protein diet, at 78kg she couldnt deadlift 40kg. True story. I had a 12yo girl, Jordy, deadlifting 100kg

She trains here for a few months, but secretly keeps walking. She cant understand her zero progress. In my gym, shes squatting, pressing and deadlifting, plus KB work. Still weak, still high bodyfat %

Now she is training around the corner, she drops in yesterday. Said she was deadlifting 40kg and a big BB type asked her what she was training for, she said nothing, just training. Quizzed her on why she was deadlifting.

Anyway, this guy probably looks at this overweight weak girl and it confirms his thoughts that powerlifting is not good for body recomposition. He knows of PTC, but he tells her strength doesnt interest him at all. He'd rather look good. The assumption is PL dont look good. This girl is NOT a PL.

Now, imagine if it was Nina deadlifting instead. Would this conversation have happened, would he think any differently if the girl was 13% bodyfat and pulling 3 plates, 2.5 x bw?

I feel so sorry for girls. They so want to look good but get so much misinformation. For the record, Nina hasnt run since early 2007, or walked for exercise ever, she just PL and eats clean. The guy doing the bodyfat testing said Female BB aside, pre comp, she was the leanest girl he had measured. Max measured 12% just for the record.

So ignore the numbers, just look at the difference, girls on average have 10-15% more BF than guys, Max is lean, this guy measures in like 17 spots, supposedly accurate. We use it as a guide only.

Muscle is a fat burning furnace girls. Get more of it, burn more fat, stop muscle wasting training and eating habits. Nina would have 10-12 red meat meals a week, rest are chicken, eggs and fish. Never touches pasta or rice, tons of green vegies.

Just a little story on a rainy Friday

Just in case the message isn't clear enough.

body builder probably wanted to do dead lifts or squats himself :P

why cant the women train at your gym anymore but still drops in for a visit?

direct her to this article http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2011/07/21/meet-staci-your-new-powerlifting-super-hero/

might help change her mind about walking/running and weight training.

also, first time I went into a gym I was 13 or just 14 cant really remember, it was at swimming center that had a gym as well, anyway I signed the waiver form and what not, try to do something and the trainer came over to me and said something about weight training for someone my age can stunt growth and he couldnt let me train with my mates. Was that b/s??? Only ask because I noticed you said about a 12 year old girl lifting.

Yep.

I've got one female friend that listened to this, she is also the only one that looks like her efforts have paid off.

The ones that choose to do things 'their' way are still wondering why they have got nowhere.

    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D  
    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
