From what I've heard and seen, atmosphere appears to be very similar amongst all the PTC gyms.

There are a tonne of lifters ACTUALLY competing this weekend out of PTC Gyms all over. Around 90 lifters from PTC's, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Perth and Gold Coast

I think one of the reasons the franchise has worked so well is that the clients all progress quickly due to everyone having a goal. We have picked up 30 clients in the last month since moving.

We had a 17yo come for a look recently, trained elsewhere. He watched Conor squatting 240kg, I mentioned they were the same age, he was blown away.

Same thing happens when girls come in, thinking that heavy weights makes them huge, they then see Vicki, Sussy, Nina, Rebecca or Heidi out deadlifting most men and all weighing around 60kg

Its an eye opener when you first walk into a PTC

Interesting thing about Joey, big talker, trained at PTC for 3-4 sessions, a few of his mates lifter here, bought a crowd to watch him. A year after his first comp he comes back to see how much he's improved. Nothing, zero. Trains at FF South Yarra.

I pointed out to him Alex beat him by 170kg and Jason is lighter yet still beat him by 95kg, both boys have been here about 7-8 weeks.

Now wants us to do a program for him...........its not the program girlfriend.

Thing is at FF he is "strong", he didnt like it here, guys in his class total 250kg more than him, pretty embarrassing, IF you have an ego.

The guy is straight on FB this morning telling all his clueless friends how well he did.

Guys like this dont train at PTC nor do they ever improve.

    • Whilst the brewery had good beer, I didn't rate the pork knuckle, the meat was good, but, there was no crackling, the skin was just thick and chewy Will return at some stage for the beer, but, I will wash the beer down with chips Plus, no sauerkraut, in what world do people serve pork knuckle without sauerkraut, they did serve apple slaw with it, which was nice, but.......#sauerkraut the world
    • Wow yeah ok. Given how specific you are about your car, I'm very surprised you are happy to do that.  As a bare minimum, without having a wideband gauge in the car or running it up on the dyno to check mixtures, there is no way I'd do that to my car.  You beat me to it, was going to say just this. 
    • Yeah - that's not true. Larger turbos flow more at the same boost. By definition. I've always found it funny when the claim of same flow same power because same boost is made. The turbine is larger, therefore will put up a lower restriction to flow at any given flow, cf the stock one. Hence, you need less boost to make the same flow through the whole system. Hence, when you have the same boost as before, you must have more flow. -5s are a pretty decent bit bigger than stock.
    • That's basically how I've been driving my R33 for a while now. GTIII-SS running wastegate boost. It makes no more power than stock because the turbos aren't flowing any more air than stock. Eventually though I need to fix this so it can actually drive as it should.
    • If this was my own car, I would pull about 5 degrees off the CAS, run a wideband, and if that seems ok, send it.
