I started this thread because there was so much stuff being posted that I didnt agree with in other threads, but I realize that not everyone wants to be strong

This thread is for those that do

So my posts in my powerlifting thread will always be about increasing your 1RM

Looks like I'm going to be getting lots of bench practice for the next week or two

did something to my lower back... right down the bottom, near my upper glutes... can't bend over at all... sitting and standing are very painful... lying down is okay... getting dressed is a challenge... might just go to bed clothed, will make things easier tomorrow lol

I've strained my erectors before but this is different... lower down and much more painful

I'm lifting at Nats... even if I have to do so in a wheelchair... so my back can kiss my arse

there's two vaginas... a front one and a back one;)

yep will be seeing Jason Mawby as soon as i get the correct phone number lol

leg movements are okay... walking not too bad... hurts to twist

anything remotely like a deadlift movement hurts the worst... TBH I'm pretty sure I did it last week... thought it was just tightness/soreness so I did a long warm up and lots of rolling... felt sore but I went for my working set anyway... it didn't pop or anything just knew as soon as I'd finished the set I was in trouble

just hit it with the hot water bottle and it's a bit better... which leads me to think it's just a strain... hopefully I can just skip squats/deads this week and it comes good

Wayne slipped on a roof and cut his leg very badly... Liam has a knee issue that he had surgery for... surgery didn't work but then they found another issue that needs time to heal

I think I hurt my back as a direct result of giving Wayne crap about having to load his plates for him... karma is a bitch

I'm off to see Jason tomorrow morning, then drop in at PTC for a bench session after... hopefully it's just an alignment issue, maybe a pinched nerve that can be fixed with some manipulation

That time of the year again. A few of my guys are riding that fine red line atm as they prep the final stages for nats.

Seeing emads snap has shocked a few of the guys into spending more time on

Mobility - rehab and prehab is up more than normal.

Saw Jason this morning, have to go back on Thu after I get my X rays

he told me to stand in front of the mirror and showed me how crooked I am... it was ridiculous and weird that I've never noticed it before

he did say it's possible I have bulging or slipped disk but I think I'd be in much more pain... definitely no nerve damage which is good... lots of ice for the next 48hrs

hopefully the ice will reduce the inflammation, the x rays will be clear and some manipulation will have me back lifting in a week or two

he did say once he gets me straightened out I should see a strength increase

on a brighter note I benched 125kg x 3 for 3 sets... still on track for my first 3 plate bench press

lol......no amount of prehab would save anyone from what happened to Emad

The operation is tonight, they are doing a biopsy on his bone to find the cause of the snap, as in disease, it has nothing to do with lifting weights, your humerus doesnt snap benching 110kg. It doesnt snap benching 400kg. It snaps if there is an issue with the bone.

I know mate lol. I should have clarified.

His was a freak accident.

Nothing could have prevented it.

It's pretty rare though I haven't seen such a break before.

Any specialist ideas on what caused it?

Plenty of guys bench for years without snapping it as such.

Keep us updated on how his going after op.

    • Ok, just the way you wrote it made it look like you had the stagger the wrong way around 
    • I was getting anxious with the DVLA not knowing if the paperwork is fine or not, so I rang them. No update had been given, but I  was reassured that providing the box was ticked on the V750 then the application will go through fine. I've been checking the DVLA website pretty much every day, in the hope that it would have been done. Fast forward to Monday 29th  and I was greeted with a new screen on the check, and it finally showed as Taxed and MOT'd, woohoo! The car was in desperate need of a clean, not knowing when this day was coming it was put off. As far as I was concerned I had another 3 weeks  I'm not normally one for using snow foam, but I wanted to give it another try It hasn't cleaned up too bad considering it's 21 years old and lived on a boat for a number of weeks. The personalised number plate is J2 XBK, an illegally spaced number plate would have it read J2X BK. BK could either represent  the colour black or Baker, which is my surname. I filmed the first drive, the Youtube link will be at the end. I used the same driving route I did with the 323F V6 when I had a new exhaust installed, heres a couple of photos A few more since then Youtube video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkFHPzjGDw
    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
