leigh , work on your bench tecnique if you can for the next lifts. You need to practice changing the angles on your lift so you don't hurt your shoulders. Your vid shows there is lots of stress going onto the rotator cuff. Basically, see if you can take a slightly narrower grip and lower the weight in a slight arc to just below the nipples on the chest. Keep your shoulder blades retracted in the lift. It will feel initially weird but, give it a go and see if it helps.

Good advice!

Partner did 30 @50% bw today

lol she wins if you can put up a vid

Prolly should have made it 60%, as I read that females have 60% the upper body strength of males, but it wouldn't have made much difference. Well done to her!

Yes well I think the Kara's of this world make good exceptions for a level playing field ha ha... anyone bench 182kgs at 67kgs bodyweight?

She squats 275kg and deads 225kg.....ouch.

Come on Leesh and Charlie...lol

Farking...giving up on life now.

Slightly unimpressive deadlift? Only compared to the bench and squat...

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).

on your suggestion I just posted in my thread on the build section. I don't have the skyline window tho' so they lack style.

Have John (SRS13)'s attempt ready to post, but we're having a bit of tricky trouble with emails and attachments not being forwarded at the moment. Should have it sorted tomorrow hopefully. Sorry John!

No problems!

Sorry for the headache and thanks for helping out.

What was your bodyweight John? 80kg from memory?

Good form and solid reps throughout! Almost had the 19th...

BW: 80kg

BP: 80kg x 18

Claim is useless without vid...post up Troy. 9 reps is nothing to sneeze at.

cbf recording it unless I know I'm in contention for the win :P I'm happy enough with 9 reps of bodyweight though, so I'm not entirely disappointed. Hopefully I can get it up to video-worthy level before end of month :D

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
