How are you finding your new gym Rev? What's the clientele like? Are there enough plates for you?

I like it.the staff are all on salaries,so there is no pushy attitude. I start early 5.30am -6am , so there is few people . mostly retired folks who are friendly. Through the day a mix of the usual crowd of gym goers. So going in off peak suits me.

They have squat rackrack, place to do deads and benches with Oly bars. Plenty of cable and plate based machines . decent sized leg press machine. I cacluate its got space for 600+kg. The dumbbells are only up to 50kg.They have enough 20kg /25kg plates to cater for big lifts.when I was going even during the different times day/nights I didn't see anyone lifting heavy. Will see if there is a reaction to me dead lifting later on, but I will be visiting PTC or musclepit before I embark on throwing heavy on deads and squats

Yes , I used to work with Henry. Good bloke, referred a few people his way over the years. Ironically , haven't trained with him and the crew. He loves the sport,basically you don't run a powerlifting gym to get rich...so anyone doing it has the heart in the right place.

75kg failed.

Did some cardio went home..

What do you do when you fail the single on decline skull crushers?

Edit: nevermind, got my head around the barbell position (pun unintended)...I imagine it's quite close to the floor and you can just let it go

Fail on these is more like feeling your not going to make it as you start letting the weight back. Usually just off the of top the movement.

The tricep feels like its going to tear off at the elbow. Dropping the weight to the floor works if its light and you get fatigue . the decline version puts heaps of stress on the long tricep muscle. If you fail when the weight is heavy you need a spotter or know when to chicken out.

After the 4x 75kg on Tuesday, I probably need another week. I am keen to get this to about 85kg for a few reps.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
