well i went to PTC Sydney yesterday and had an evaluation with Trent. I must say, top bloke, very knowledgeable, not judgmental and explains everything to you in detail.

He sorted a couple of issues that my younger brother was having out in about 30 seconds (particularly squatting) and in the session, young 17 year old 90kg Jack went from struggling to squat 70kg below the parallel to squatting 100kg almost ATG. My squat however went backwards, I got lower almost to ATG but only managed 70kg in the squat rack before form started to drop.

Also tweaked our bench to more of a strong man bench. I can speak now from experience a PVC pipe under your back whilst trying to bench sucks balls (I have the bruises to prove that), seems to have helped Jacks bench technique as well.

Finally we did some Deads, probably my new favorite exercise. Got to 100kg x 3 reps before form started to break. This was after he changed the entire way that I dead.

Trent has also recommended that we add in some leg press and lower back raises to help us with these main lifts and thinks we should go back in about 6 months for another quick session. If the gym wasn't so far away and I wasnt as busy as I am with work, uni, other sporting commitments and the girlfriend I would sign up in an instant. Really enjoyed the entire environment that I witnessed at the gym with all the guys there.

If TL:DR here is the summary, good session, good gym ended up lifting more and less. Would recommend anyone to have a session if they are unsure and will go back.

Thanks guys, its great when the hard work pays off.

Very interesting. I should book a visit when my shoulder is better.

    • So I'm going to have to keep ignoring the 4.7 update, or whatever version it is? Poop. I was hoping you'd put me out of my misery.
    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
