I'm going to a bench press seminar tomorrow hosted by Nathan Baxter at my new powerlifting gym. Very excited, but also not sure what to expect. I'm hoping to learn some tips and tricks; possibly readjust my technique as I have issues with keeping my knuckles pointing to the ceiling, and get back to my pb anyway! :)

just realised your post was old. how was the seminar?

Hey Nick, it was amazing. Nathan Baxter is a huge wealth of knowledge and quite funny!

He pointed out my bench grip is too close together and I'm using a lot of my triceps. At first, the wide grip felt horrible and I couldn't bench 40kg without help from my spotter. However; after a few goes I was easily benching 42kg for reps. He also gave me some great tips about crushing the bar on the way down, and focusing on keeping the pinky finger tight!

I got the most of the deadlift tips and tricks though. An important technique he taught us was breathing in and pushing out your stomach before lifting. I don't have much of a stomach to push out, so he suggested I use a belt. I'm also having my knees too far forward in my setup; hence all my knee bruises. He suggested when I set up to keep my legs straight as I bend down to touch the bar; only once I have touched the bar with my hands should I bend my knees. He had some great cues, which I think will be beneficial to me once I'm used to them. Deadlifted a pb of 102kg at the seminar anyway :)

I have now joined Dungeon Powerlifting in Bunbury, WA. I have my run through and programming session with the strength coach tomorrow. Hopefully you will be seeing bigger numbers out of me soon!

its amazing how much difference a proper set up from the top down can help your deadlift. I still need a fair bit of work on my technique which is why im going to join PTC canberra in january. Hopefully all 3 of my lifts benefit a bit.

PTC don't do speed/dynamic days

All good Mitch, just means your getting nice and tight and using leg drive. As you get stronger you'll be able to press the same amount and keep your ass down.

Also squat more = bigger ass... harder to get it off the bench! haha

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
