Poor fella must be devastated, hes lucky he didnt get hurt more from the bar falling on him.

He must have some sort of underlying bone issue. Especially when you consider that he lifts 4 times or more a week and should have really good bone density due to the stress of lifting stimulating appositional bone growth an remodeling.

sooo I have suspected disk prolapse between L4 and L5... spine is a long way out, I lean to my left which is probably what has caused it... my lumbar is also very compressed, along with some other more minor issues in my mid back and neck

I have 4 weeks of treatments twice a week... Chiro pretty confident he can fix me up in that time and reckons I'll come back much stronger... thinks I've been leaving a lot of strength on the table being as misaligned as I am... I didn't ask if I'll make Nats, I guess we'll wait and see

Happy to train through knee, shoulder, elbow pain etc but don't want to stuff around with my back... will be doing what he says (he's a fellow powerlifter)

have the all clear to keep benching/pressing... just no overhead work

He won't adjust you without a full spinal xray... They are in Rosebud and will refer you to an xray place down there but I'm sure you could get them done anywhere

Went and saw him first but I guess you could have some xrays done first

Did he say if the heavy lifting might have contributed to it?

Did he tell you to stop the heavy lifting or go easy for a while?

I hurt it while deadlifting, no doubt about it... only because I was lifting whilst badly out of alignment... I'm sure I would not have had any issues had I been seeing someone to have maintenance work done instead of waiting til I hurt myself

I pulled 200kg x 5 for 3 sets... then deficit deadlifted 180kg x 8 and 160kg x 13 (to failure)... I'm pretty sure I did it in that last set... I was fatigued and let my form go, plus I was lifting from a deficit and it's already hard for me to get down to the bar and setup correctly... I was then very stiff in that area for the next week but kept lifting anyway... on my next DL session I warmed up a lot because of the stiffness but everything felt heavy... my top sets were supposed to be 215kg x 3 x 3... I pulled the first set and only barely managed it... felt like I strained something and immediately it started to hurt

he said no deads or squats for the time being... no overhead lifting or anything that compresses my spine... I'll get the treatment and as soon as he clears me I'll get back to it... I'm already seeing improved movement every day and I've always healed quickly so fingers crossed

Yeah hope it gets sorted soon.

I guess the qn to ask is are you still keen on lifting big weights now this has happened to you?

After I hurt myself, and nowhere near anything like you did, I qn whether there is any need to lift heavy. You compete but I don't.

I probably shouldn't have these thoughts in this thread................. Lol

it sounds a lot worse than it is... I'm really not in that much pain, just uncomfortable bending over and sitting for long periods

I can't wait to lift heavy again... I don't feel right not having squatted for nearly two weeks lol

However I won't be lifting heavy unless everything feels right in that area and I get the all clear from the Chiro... I won't ignore it again

I had this week off except for a short bench session but I'll be back into 4-5 sessions a week next week... lot's of bench pressing, supported rows, pull ups, dips etc

TTT: thanks mate... I'll be pretty gutted if I miss Nats... never thought I'd ever do a bench only comp lol! But if I'm not healthy then I'll live to lift another day... I'm sure there will be some other comp I can do later in the year

will be a pity because I hadn't missed a rep in training and was programmed for a 610kg total... think I could nudge 620kg fully healthy too

shit happens, people have come back stronger from a lot worse injuries

Jason Mawby looks after our entire team, he has totalled 600kg@100kg, his wife also competes.

He fixed up Nina and Max, they still get alignments every fortnight, I think he has around 30 clients from PTC

Emad is out of hospital. What was supposed to be a 1hr op lasted 3. His bones are like concrete, they struggled to drill through them

Dr Bruce Reid and Dr Peter Larkins believe there was a stress fracture there that the MRI didnt pick up

He has a titanium rod running through his humerus now. He was in the gym today.

Nick, you'll be fine if you listen to Jason, we work together, we have a 100% success rate. Max started squatting an empty bar after Jason realigned him, he is about to squat 250kg x 4.

You wont recognise the place when you walk in lol

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
