just did this for 95kg (rounded up from my present body weight of 93.6kg)

Got 17 reps out, which I was rather pleasantly shocked by. Pretty sure I have a few more there but, I am expecting to have lots of soreness from being very rusty. 20 might be in reach after all.

The missus home gym bench is pretty crap, it felt like it was going to give in/break . Very wobbly (you can see in the vid) and it's fairly high off the deck. It must only be rated to 100kg or something. There won't be any 1rm attempts on this one.

Just typical ,only a few hours after doing this and I am fricken sore, safe to say this was too much too soon doh!

lol you always push yourself over the top. How did your shoulders hold up, any injuries? May get you back into bench...

Nah , rounded up is fine. I don't think it will matter too much. I'd rather drop body weight to 90kg and be done with it ha ha...

shoulders are solid. I have put work into them and my back. Not enough for me to go chasing 1rm just yet but, enough for this. I did some 105kg strict presses a few weeks back so benching below that weight should be alright.

You should throw up some before and after pics of weight loss in your thread (preferably Skyline window reflection). It's quite an achievement at your age (and gives me hope for the future lol).

Leigh and I did this fresh tonight...never again! It f**ked us good for the rest of our sets :( Couldn't even get my 1RM out tonight. Vids will be up tonight or tomorrow morning.

I really wanna try this, but im 3kg off benching my body weight :(

You can do the girls' one if you like, at half your bodyweight :P

Keep at it dude, honestly I think bench pressing your own bodyweight is a benchmark for anyone...I know I was pretty happy when I was able to do it.

Leigh

BW: 73kg

BP: 72.5kg x 12 reps

Leigh's form was a tad average, not touching the chest on a couple of reps...but for a first attempt and no back arch, I'm pretty happy. He's only been training with me for 4-5 months and has come a long way IMO, already putting up a 1RM of 90kg. Well done mate.

50% of bodyweight, as per female rule. Congrats dude, this was good form.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
