BW: 81kg

BP: 80kg x 15 reps

Was a bit disappointed with this, as I really thought I could push out 20 reps. Would like to give it another go on a better day. All I can say is, for someone who doesn't regularly bench...you're a freak, rev! You'll have to trust me that it was touching the chest, as the filming angle hides the bar and makes it look a bit high (thanks Leigh!). Also, I do not have a hard on :/

Churs :) that was my second time back on chest after my rotator cuff muscle went super freaky so I'm pretty happy with thy number since I consider myself to be almost back to square one. Will try again next week :)

lol I'd love to blame my shoulder injuries for weakness too, but competitions don't wait for injuries to heal! We both put up our best for now and that's all that matters. Now to improve!

Your muscles will catch up again in no time :)

Eh it's all good practice I guess, probably give this a better crack on Monday I reckon!

You gonna try again? You were raging pretty hard at it affecting our working sets lol

Eh? I wasn't blaming my injury weakness. Was saying my muscles aren't developed because I haven't worked them because of time off due to injury. Have no weakness in the shoulder now.

That's what I was saying too...

Ok, I must have misread 'I'd love to blame my shoulder injuries for weakness too' as being in relation to me

It was in relation to you. My shoulder injuries have cost me valuable time at the gym, I haven't been able to do press movements to keep up my regular weights and consequently I'm a little down on what I can normally do. Was just saying that competitions don't wait for injuries to heal so it's a bit of bad luck for both of us.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • 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...
