Hamstring issue really plays up on leg press, didn't hurt during squats but couldn't do my usual weights. I think it may be due to my right knee bending in when squatting and I'm causing injury. A guy said I should look at knee wraps or bands when squatting, what do you think?

great efforts Leesh. You should be able to focus on the squat technique without those things, at the rep range you are doing.

You still have a shoulder issue? Are you still doing behind the head standing press?

Okay I'll focus on keeping knees out without those. Hamstring hurt walking to work.

Yeah its getting better but not 100% Started shoulder press last night for first time in 8 weeks; changed technique though

Shoulder wise, if you have inpingement , then it's not going to be better doing bench or shoulder press. If you don't then all good but, be aware that rehab work is important. I don't see the rehab in your workout? Perhaps you are doing it but, not writing it down.

Good to hear about technique. I assume you are now doing seated press in font as opposed to standing behind the neck?

no rehab, I'm doing the program Birds just made up for me.. he didn't give me any rehab to do

No I'm not doing it infront, just not going down past the ear

Do you want some rehab movements? Can help there if you like.

Ask Birds to give you an alternative shoulder movement, seated. At least that way you can train full ROM.

yes please, that would be great thanks

Hmm, can't I just do shoulder press seated?

Sure . I will ping some info up later for you.

You can do the press seated , great idea. In front of the head is good for the pressing movement . Find a seat with a slight recline on the back support to make it straight forward.

Here are some that won't mess up your normal routines and will do wonders, injury or not. This is rehab stuff assuming we take it easy. Once there is improvement you can add something resistance wise , like cuban press.

You can youtube search these ones, to make it easy.

Total shoulder girdle health . Do these 3 times a week. Can do them at home in some cases.

1) Serratus Anterior (Activation movements) are in here for you which should help. This sucker stabilses the scapular movement,

a) Scapular pushups. Just a pushup with you extending and retracting the shoulder blades. The movement is shallow( no where near the ground , motion is small) .The arms straight. Do 3 sets of 20-25

b) Single dumbel scapular protraction. Lay on a bench. Fairly light weight dumbell in one hand straight up. Straight arm. As above move the dumbel up and down with the scapular motion. 20-25 reps as above.

c) Scapular wall slides.

d) Prone Cobras held for time.

e) External rotator bands

f) Shoulder dislocates with band or a stick ( can use a barbell if you are strong).

Try these ones for a month.

Just saw this.

Either:

a) tie a theraband around your knees and force them out while squatting

OR

b) get someone to wrap a band around your leg (just above the knee) and pull it towards them, while you lunge (they should be pulling the band from the inside edge of your knee). Force your knee outwards (track knee in line with foot) so that it doesn't fall inwards.

I would recommend the latter

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
