Well done to the winner, great job.

Have you ever competed big fella, I know you used to train at MusclePit.

WA states coming up soon

No never competed . I did some lifting/training when I was 30 , with some silly idea of getting ready to do some track and field.. Never did get round to it(track). I was only going to a regular gym that happened to have a decent lifting setup. Was training by myself at the time so learned what I could. I got pretty strong, didn't realise it at the time. I was about 80 something kilos , I can't actually remember the deadlift weights but, I was squating sets of 250kg (235 on the bar) for 5-6 rep sets. I have some pics from back then , with some heavy equipment based lifts.

Had not done any deads since then. This last deads session is only my second since then. Did some training with some friends a few years back but, no deads or squats in that program (shock horror). Got sick a few times in the in between years and lost losts of weight. Plenty of it from the legs.

To correct the confusion I worked with Henry at Xerox (we talked about the comps and training alot) but, haven't trained with him yet.Kept putting it off. Sent a few people his way and figured more recently I would make an appearence once I am ready. I believe I have lots to learn since I have never been coached on lifing properly in my view.

definately like to see if I would be any good at the comp side of things looks like fun.

see told you, set the bar high... nice lifting

seriously though WTF crappy bar/plates are you using!? basically doing deads from a deficit every rep due to the small diameter of the plates lol... you could've propped them up on something

Ha ha... yes gheto weights. It's not so bad if I have to travel a bit further in the ROM I suppose, it's all about giving my back a good workout.

I think I irritate the missus as I am pinching all the weights to stick on the bar and then forgeting to put them all back. I think she is keen for me to go to the gym ha ha..

Well I reckon you can now set the next challenge mate.

Start a new thread with the next forum challenge.

Your choice.

Look at the results from this thread and make it suitable for the masses... after all it is to get everyone in to the spirit of friendly competition and to push themselves.

Also, PTC Perth hold Novice comps that you could go and try your hand at to get the bite which you will no doubt get to start PL again.

It's still possible for someone to do 28+ today. Come on people , you can't let the almost 40 dude win.

Yeah the PTC is in Malaga which is much closer than Muscle Pit. I am thinking that might be a good place to go.

I really want to learn the techniques to lift right and address the strength imbalances I have. Its more important for me to get that right before training hardcore for strength or comps. I believe that the efficiency of lifting right is actually a great way to safeguard the body for the long term and thats what I am after.

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
