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.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
