It's a real nice shock when you first squat in weighlifting shoes if you've been doing it in runners.

I used to squat barefoot until a month ago.

Got some squat shoes, they are amazing. Suit my needs perfectly and I'm not sure why I didn't purchase any sooner.

I was using the DO-WINS for a long time.

But have turned to flat shoes like chucks in the last 6 months or so.

I have 2 pairs of chucks and an older pair of Levis flat shoes of all things.... and these are the ones I lift in.

it just feels like a better fit.

For sale - one pair of Do-Wins lol

I have a few guys with the Adidas Adipower in here. Great shoe as the heel isnt as high as others

Keep them Tolga, Nina and Max have gone back and forth so often, but both are in flats now

The raised heel takes a lot of stress off my hamstrings, activating quads more, which is the main factor for me.

I used barefoot shoes before hand, 4mm flat sole, thought they were solid platform before the adipowers.

I've got no idea how unstable people in runners must feel.

The guy in the ab shot is Martin, he has dropped from 86kg to 79kg so he can lift in the 80kg class at ProRawFive, he needs the money

His best lifts this week were 220kg squat, 147.5kg paused bench and 281kg deadlift

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
