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

    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
