Thanks Birds and thanks for posting. tried for the 19th rep but just couldn't push it out. Bit embarrassing but hey! I was happy thinking I beat rev's 17 and then he goes and does the 22 the SOB lol :)

I'm down to 79kg now (from 86kg over 6 months ago).

Trozzle - just post up mate. It's not about winning or losing, it's about giving it a crack and improving your own performance.

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

No one is going to beat rev at this, should still chuck up a vid though. People might be able to spot issues with form that you don't realise and it encourages others to have a go too.

Don't worry Troy I did it and I sucked

11 is actually very good. remember this is a starting point too so you can only become more awesome at it !

Challenge yourself first and foremost. It's the best mindset :thumbsup:

Push yourself, then your body will do what it's designed to do and get stronger. By the time this challenge is done I believe you can get to 22 L33SH , go for it!

I don't have your belief Rev, but thanks :)

No problem . Want to encourage your belief in yourself, I'd love to help see you go from disapointment in 11 to determination for 22.

If you 'want' 22 , 20 ,15 or even 40 enough to try for it ,then you will have the most important ingredient that will get you there. :thumbsup:

I need strength though

Thats the easy part, if there is one thing from just giving this a shot it is you will get stronger. The hard part is activating the higher performance you have waiting with mind attitude.

Think about this .... If you never give your body a shot at getting to 22 you can't actually know you will never get there. Your limits could be even higher? No one can tell you it's not possible.

You can do it!

I've tried, she gives up too easily! Can't wait til she is in Melbourne again, then I can show her what the body is capable of when you have the above :)

But I'm glad she attempted the challenge, that's half way there.

On the mind/attitude side of things, IMO the bench press tests willpower more than any other exercise. So many times (usually during 1RM attempts or low rep sets) I've had the bar half way up and - like an epic arm wrestle - have taken a solid 15-20 seconds to finish the rep, inching the bar up millimetre by millimetre, fighting back the growing urge to just let it fall. It's an amazing feeling of accomplishment and no other exercise brings that out in me.

Think I built that willpower from the days where I trained solo and, many times it was a case of get the bar up or get crushed!

It appears you do not drive with your legs at all, is that the case?

It appears you do not drive with your legs at all, is that the case?

I cant say that I know exactly what that means or that I do or don't do it but I try to 'plant' my legs, get a good strong base and then drive with my whole body.

Open to suggestions to improve the technique :) .

Solid effort!

Thanks Nick. Don't think I can do many more than that but will give it another crack.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
