I find I can squat and bench multiple times a week and still get quality work in on other movements

but deadlifting has to be planned out a bit because of the lower back fatigue... once the lower back and grip is gone I find it hard to do much else and need a full 48 hours to recover... otherwise my workout is compromised... lots of foam rolling on the lower back helps

I used to give equal time to squatting and deadlifting but now I'm focussing more on squatting and just deadlifting once a week... I find a stronger squat helps the DL, but it doesn't work the other way round

First time for a while where we had only novices, no lifter was a member of a fed

No novice comps in February or March due to the ProRawQualifier and Vic States

April before our next novice comp

^^ you don't have runners?

I've got a $20 pair of K-mart specials lol - I don't ever really use them. The closest I get to an activity that warrants runners would be riding my bike, which I wear my skate shoes :P

I do actually have a pair of Vans Authentics that I've squatted in before and they did quite well, though personally I prefer barefoot anyway.

i'm not talking about just lifting, I wear weightlifting shoes for most most of my lifting.

I didn't realise he didn't run, sprint, do circuits, play some sport, or do anything apart from lifting weights.

I sprint barefoot on a grass track :P I ride a downhill bike which is horrifically inefficient when not going down a hill....aaaaaaand I'm considering taking up soccer again this year, so I'll obviously need to buy boots for that. If I have time for it at least.

I just don't have time and couldn't be f**ked doing anything other than the above on top of lifting. Don't see the point.

I didn't realise he didn't run, sprint, do circuits, play some sport, or do anything apart from lifting weights.

I don't do any of those.

Drive to work in Business attire.

once home I walk the dogs

then lift

then repeat.

I do have sneakers though... for the walking of said dogs

^ I used to think the same, now I look over to my shoe rack and see work boots, black business shoes, and trendy fasion shoes not suitable for anything practical. Oh how the times change, back in the day all I used to have was runners, would wear them everywhere.

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
