had a very successful States... I went 9 for 9, setting a PB on every lift

squat 210kg

bench 132.5kg

deadlift 240kg

unfortunately the 90kg division was very strong so I came 4th... if I had of lifted in any other division I would've got a medal

was an amazing job Markos, how you and the crew managed to run a meet with so many lifters and spectators out of that little gym was super impressive

bring on Nationals:)

Cheers! I had a good day... I like comps, I find I can get a few extra kilos just due to the atmosphere

I started doing PPP 3 times a week after my first novice comp which was last year in September I think... that was at my old gym with the odd weekend session at PTC... since mid Jan this year I've been training 4-5 times a week, mainly at PTC, doing a mixture of PPP and whatever Max tells me to do

booked in to have a coaching session with Trent from PTC Sydney next Saturday. Will be interested to see if I have been dead lifting or squating incorrectly.

also any other tips that he can give.

I think it will be more beneficial for my brother who has only just started going to the gym.

Nick, some are destined to stay weak and small, they'll never understand you eat for size and lift for strength, as you pointed out, Martin and Gregg are both Elite, different builds. Same training, one eats more. It doesnt seem difficult to understand. Anyway, please dont post that crap in here, its clearly a PL thread, PL is a sport.

    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
