Not completely, it is still heavy on the laterals. But it does recruit different muscles to doing in front, which is why I do them on the pulldown contrary to the advice of 60kg certificate 3s who have told me a couple of times that I'm going to injure myself.

Haha maybe before drinks we wil go for a spin in the 32 Mark.. Your training at SME I assume? We can do a session if your keen.. I'm talk Stevo and Dave for a PT session on Saturday morning.. They should be paying me for this shit!

Sounds like a plan mate, give me a call for timings.

My Sat session will be bike ride to work then mainly compound;

Squat

Bench

Row

Mil Press

Deads

With some S/S of;

Curl & Tri Press

X Overs & Pulldowns

If we are doing the challange I will need to do that first as I will busted after my session.

I'll see if I can get my sister or someone to film me on Thursday. I'm confident I'll get at least 20. Can we go to behind the neck or does it have to be chin over the bar?

Confidence is good , it will at least help getting to 20. Doing 20 in a row with a vid is better.

Take note of the mistakes and what counts as good form. All the way down (straight arms) and no pausing at the bottom.

20 isn't easy.

Look forward to the vid.

the winner is going to be doing more than 20. I just did 2 sets of 20 . My left arm injury prevents me from doing much more.

I recorded one of the sets so there is a vid of 20 , however the phone slipped down after I pressed record. the top of the bar you can't properly see so it's not counted for this challenge. I will have to do another one .

Will Post it anyway for motivation.

For the record if I end up with the most , the person with the second highest wins the right to set the next challenge.

Cmon rev, what is that?? cant see the entire pull up and your clearly not straightening your arms all the way... you should know better mate :P

As I mentioned the vid isn't par at all (not counted). So posted it for motivation only.Appart from the phone slipping and missing the top section, I think I would have picked another angle too. The arms are straight(hang) but , I took a very wide grip so ROM was reduced ,I end up with a very small bend in the arm in dead hang

The speed and width chosen for this one was for training and not the challenge. I can do more at a slower pace and also with a less super wide grip.

Bottom line it doesn't count. ;)

Really wanted to give this challenge another shake for a clear win, but I fear I'll damage my shoulder further, which seems to be on the mend (I can bench tucked elbows without pain). Pain is most obvious during wide grip lat pulldown, which leads me to suspect it may have been this challenge that aggravated it in the first place...perhaps straining for a final rep or something. Though the original injury I feel came from boxing. Once it mends fully it'll be time to hit the rotator cuff exercises.

You probably did it boxing.

Likely due to some impingement, you might find scapula is internally rotated on the side that is hurting.

Or posterior delt isn't working enough to keep the teres major/lats in tight connection to the arms.

It's important to lay off the excersise if it's injured to the point that pullups hurt.

You will continue to inflame and shorten the ROM.

Once it feels a little better you can do things like Scarecrows for rehab.

Maybe unrelated but, In terms of your form for pullups (going off your vid) if I was to

give you some feedback it would be to try looking up at the ceiling and allow a small amount of torso rotation (so the lower part comes forward a little). It is mechanically better and will take the loading away from the rotator cuff. The scapular rotation occurs with less loading.

It didn't hurt during pullups or pulldown, only after the gym during resting state (not a terrible pain either, just one of thiose annoying twinges that hangs about), which made it difficult to diagnose what exercise was responsible. I took a week off gym to give it some recovery time and that seemed to do good for it, because I have no pain after a workout now...shoulder still clicks/creaks a bit with certain movements though.

If it helps with diagnosis, I tried the Cuban press exercise you two recommended and during the rotation movement (after the upright row) is where the shoulder ratchets/cracks. It used to hurt a tad doing this, but now it just cracks.

Re: boxing, I definitely had some sort of injury from it...woke up after a heavy bag session with what I thought was a small muscle tear (felt like it was in the bicep), which I ignored, but I'm fairly certain it has evolved into this. Probably the farking hook punches.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
