I'm with Troy, it should be a percentage of bodyweight...girls get a smaller percentage due to less testosterone and periods. Otherwise the aesthetics crew get penalised hard by the lardy lifters, who themselves usually compete in weight classes and use glossbrenner to scale. It's your rules, but you're more likely to get everyone competing with a more level playing field.

Oh and should I win one, the next challenge will be a Skyline window selfie.

Here's hoping you don't win then lol

I probably won't be competing in any of these lower body challenges because my legs are weak as piss. I'll have a dig at dips, chins, bench, shoulder press etc though when they come up.

Nice idea Tolga, good luck getting it to happen.

Some should be excluded though, yourself, Nick and Simon. No one on here will beat Ghosty at this challenge, or most challenges

I'm surprised some think that added bodyweight is a massive advantage on deadlifts

By the way, we can have a full height 20kg bar at PTC(15kg ladies bar and 2 x 2.5kg technical plates)

For just about everyone who'll partake in this from here, the "rule" of "more muscle = stronger" will fairly well apply. Of course I realise this isn't how it works! I'm just saying that for this application, it will make things a little more fair.

yeah I know the PTCs are equiped with full size light plates. but most if not "all others" are not.

Also, I'm not doing any of these challenges... lol

I'm not doing anything other than what I have planned and outlined for my states and nats attempt this year.

I'm not repeating history and risking an injury on anything.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
