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.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
