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 would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
