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

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
