Why does Martin do a lot of things lol

I have no f**king idea

He is not a fan of the mono or the 35mm squat bar. He hasnt trained on it enough for this reason.

Everyone else loves it. He is now using it exclusively

Yes Martins..

I'll see if Markos wants to tell yesterdays story about Martin here.. lol

The idea is to get your shoulder blades in and down. this pops your chest/rib cage out and up.

then pushing with your legs pushes you up on to your lower traps area. This means that your shoulders/scapulas are in there saefst and most powerful state.

Your spine isn't loaded.

well... both in a way.

in powerlifting, the aim is to lift the most weight.

so you do whatever you can with in the rules to get in to a position to lift the most weight.

eg. Using a close grip bench with your elbows flared, back flat, lowering the bar to the middle of your chest will probably built a bigger chest.

But using a wider grip, bringing the elbows in, arching your back, and pumping your chest up and lowering the bar to your lower chest (which will be the highest point when your back is arched) will probably allow you to lift 1.5 times more weight due to recruiting the triceps and delts more, your lats some, and with the hands wider and chest up, the range of motion is also shorter.

having said that, lifting heaver weights leads to more strength and size.

In powerlifting, as I said, the aim is to lift the most weight.. so powerlifters do it to lift more weight rather than to become chesty brahs.

you'll see it in squats and deadlifts too.

squatting with a wider stance gives you more power once you get used to it.

squatting with a narrow stance means the range of motion required to get your hips below parallel is longer and doesn't use the hamstrings much.

bet you get massive quads.

wide squatters get to use quads, hips and hamstrings. end up lifting more weight.

Deadlift - some lift conventional (feet close and hands outside of feet), some lift sumo (feet wide out and hands inside right to the edge of the knurling)

reduces the range of motion, but need different muscles used.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
