my point being, the more rules there are the harder it is to judge this stuff.....especially with novice comps.

It's hard enough to judge when everyone is in one place, let alone sending in videos etc.

The simpler the better, and the more people will do it, and the more fun it will be, because these after all are only about fun.

But hey, your challenge your rules

You make a good point. Maybe the next challenge can try and embody this more.

I think Simon is right, hence why were on the second page and no one has posted a vid yet

Good challenge by the way

Note: No way of telling if someone has used chalk, plus chalk is for safety, I make sure all my clients use it.

No one really special at PTC at these, Jesse (68kg) and Bender (68kg) have done 30, Martin would be close

Nina has done 16

We always do our chins this way, if hands were turned around no one here would get 10, we all find this way much, much easier

Video is the only way we'll know! Deadlifting is one thing with no vids, but it's very easy to inadvertently cheat / screw up the form with pull ups, so vids are a must.

Will take a vid this week :)

No doubt.

I'll get a video but wanted to try it first! Its a lot harder when having to think about ensuring going all the way down, not pausing blah blah blah. Just read the rules again... "each rep is to come to a complete stop at the bottom"...hhmmmm gotta check that one....

Yeah, makes a huge difference! When I do pullups, which is rare...I do them with the pause at the bottom and I'm wrecked much quicker than on bodyweight lat pulldown, where I rarely let my arms go straight.

No. Try taking more suppliments.

lol'd

GNC Pull Up Xtend should help with this challenge...from what I read on the internet, it's designed to specifically target the lateral muscles.

    • Nice one, I'd argue that the white S1 RS260 is certainly the best looking of the Stageas. And yes, fully agree on the forum situation. It's a bit of a shame, but at least SAU is a good place to be. I found the facebook groups to give me FOMO because people were trying to one-up each other and show off in some way. Feels much more natural here. There are people with seriously nice builds, but I can appreciate it rather than it making me question my life choices. Might be that people are more open with sharing how much work/money/suffering it takes to actually get there. 
    • Evening, wanted to pop in and finally register to say hi to everyone here on SAU!   It's been a while since I've been active on a forum, but back in the day I used to be relatively active on ClubLexus and other hobby-related forums. I'm glad to see SAU is still around, since with the advent of Facebook and Discord it seems forums aren't what they once were. As a recent new owner of an S1 260RS Stagea, I've found so many older guides and helpful tips from SAU that I figured I needed to join and say a grave thank you. My recent acquisition has only become legal in the US for the past year, and knowing that similar car enthusiasts from across the pond have already figured out the kinks and tricks to get these 25+ year old cars running well. I look forward to diving into more of the SAU forums as well as hopefully contribute some info myself for future posterity.   As a pic tax, here is one of the few good photos I have of my Stagea. I hope to get way more in the future!    
    • Is this where I say "Hey man my airbox cost me horsepower in my Naturally Aspirated Engine"? (I know you need them for legality in NSW)
    • 1.5mm alloy folded up, it will need a tweek, as the angled bend only got to around 45° as that was the max that the break press would get with the other bends, and I needed a fair bit more, but and the alloy is easy to bend too my will by hand once I trim the lower section out I'll Dremel out and form the angle and mounting point on the lower section when time permits  As for the lid, I'm looking at going a "cap", instead of a flat lid to hide the fixtures a bit
