have a crack at the next challenge. This one will form an on-going development thread once it's over,so you can give it a go once you are fixed up.

I should be right to have a decent go at this one by end of the month, if not sooner.

I only try the ones that fit into my routine

Do you comment without even looking half the time? Torn hamstring. Powerlifting thread.

l'm sorry for not keeping track of what's going on with your body...

Dim is considered the weakest lifter in our PL team. At under 75kg, he squats 160kg, benches 110kg and deadlifts 200kg, he gets stirred a lot lol

Here is a vid from 2011 of him getting 18 reps with 70kg, his bodyweight then

Gave this a shot tonight after my bench workout. Only managed 9 lol :( Will attempt/film on Thursday when fresh.

80kg x 10

80kg x 10

90kg x 10

95kg x 7

100kg x 4

107.5kg x 2

112.5kg x 1

FML x 1

80kg x 9 (bodyweight challenge)

60kg x 24 (another challenge my basketball friends are doing)

I found the chest touching makes a big difference too. Not that my regular press is much higher off the chest, but just concentrating on every rep touching the chest takes it out of you! Hoping for 20 on Thursday :cheers:

Bout an inch off it according to my training partner.

I think I'm lacking in flexibility, cause I really had to try to get the chest touch happening for the challenge. Have been tucking elbows to nurse my injured shoulder at the moment, which is working well, but it doesn't help with ROM at the bottom of a rep.

All excuses aside, I hope to have something decent on Thurs. Everyone should give this a go, even if you don't film it.

Should my ex or current girlfriend wish to compete

Lulz, you little health and well being whore!

Will do this Thurs, now that I have a later than 6yo 1st gen iPhone I can actually record video!

Can you receive mms now?

Birds - learn to arch back.

then you won't leave an inch between your chest and the bar.

Also - learn to pause bench to practice for the April PTC comp that you will do.

Just pause the first rep of your work sets and carry on with the other reps.

I think someone suggested 50 reps would win this, Like I said Ange Galati did 47, and he can bench 200kg raw at 78kg and 262.5kg with a shirt on

I highly doubt anyone will get 30 reps, 20 is a great effort

Equipment can be an issue too. I trained at a gym in the 90's which had 18kg Olympic bars and 25kg plates that weighed 22kg

I told the story on my forum of the guy who claimed to bench 165kg, he missed 140kg in my gym, without a pause

I said 50 would be amazing, didn't say it would be winning number tho' lol unless Agne buys a skyline in the next 2 weeks...

20 is great.. I would be stoked to get to 20.

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day  
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
    • Are you 100% sure this isn't tune related?
    • 140-150 across the board. At this point hoping the grounding harness fixes it. My grounds are all tied to the chassis and none to the battery. For SR and KA that’s never been a problem for me but had a few other guys here and Reddit who told me RB really like a very solid ground setup tied to the battery so going to try that next, I’m stumped if that doesn’t do it. Never had a car have spark and fuel and not fire off before. Only thing I can think is the spark is intermittent/weak because of grounds nothing else really makes sense at this point 
    • I am having close to the same issue. Can you help me with what wire you grounded to get your pump to trigger?
