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.

Thats interesting he has noviced before and attended PTC at least, makes it worse so to speak. the first thing I thought was 'his total is a fairly low' then compared it to Jasons as i read down the list.

250kg+ inspires me and sets my goal posts.

Guys like Joey are everywhere, and in the most part I dont have any issues with them, but he "tried" to make the crossover but his ego didnt allow it, no problem, just dont act like your Ed Coan on FB or to your mates at my gym. I had to shut one of them down unfortunately, ugly, but it had to be done.

I was very impressed by all the other 10 lifters, very sound lifting techniques, a good time was had by all.

I didnt know 6 of the lifters, they told me they all hit PB's in each lift, very encouraging.

Next Novice comp is October.

I have the BIG BENCH in August, a bench press only event, very popular, go figure lol

Does that mean no to the Doncaster ptc too?

No point, Carrum Downs is 25 minutes from there. Once we moved to the new place we canned Doncaster.

I have picked up a few clients from Definition 352

I have clients that live in Fitzroy that train here 5 x week, school kids that catch 2 buses from Mt Martha, around an hour, but thats why Conor squats 240kg @ 17yo

It would be great to have 50 PTC Gyms, but I reckon we would struggle to find 50 good coaches

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
