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.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
