Sarcasm? haha I don't really have set days that I must work out on.

I usually do every second day then a couple days rest, if I have an extra day rest or miss a workout the next week will fall on a sunday.

Nice work man, keep it up.

EDIT: Realised this sounded contrived, my point being even with discomfort you had a god and got through it for the most part.

Thanks, what's a rajab? haha I see it everywhere. Swear filter?

It's always an internal battle as to whether I should push through the pain or if I should stop. I'm slightly wiser now so I stop if I have to

Hip still playing up a bit, hurts in the bent row position, should clear up soon.

Had to walk to the gym today...First world problems haha

Row: 1x8 @40
3x5 @55 Difficult holding the right position for this.
Pullups: 4 :angry:

Nice deading.

There's a good explanation of Rajab over in the motorsport section.

Essentially it's just an "in" joke from some of the Wastelanders praising Rajab (the engine builder/performance workshop) for anything good that happens any time.

Thanks, it ended up being 4 sets of 2 reps because I did 2 stopped for chalk, did 2 more noticed my leg was bleeding haha tied my towel around it, did 2 more, then decided I may aswell do another couple .

Thanks for the rajab explanation, a lot of stuff makes more sense now haha

Indeed.

Had a few days off, shoulder is giving me grief again.

Rows went to shit and decided not to do dips.

Will go see the physio as soon as possible.

Alrighty couple quick updates.

Haven't seen the physio yet just been working on the shoulder myself.

Got told the other day I'm supposed to include the bar weight in my lifts, so all my previous ones are just the weight that was on the bar not including the bar itself. All future ones will be total, weight + bar.(which I believe is 15-20kgs)

The above doesn't really matter because I've changed to an entirely new program and dropped all my lifts down to about 40kg to start with as its higher volume.

Not sure if I should keep logging progress here or just put it in a spreadsheet.

Long time no update. Still lurking here though

Joined a new gym about 2 weeks ago, did 1rms.

27th Nov: Squat 185, Bench 100, Dead 200

Worked on technique

2nd Dec: Squat 205

3rd Dec: Bench 110

6th Dec: Dead stayed the same, had a shitty day

Been nearly three years since I started this thread. Started out injured, got a fair bit better and stronger for a while. Since then its been all downhill.

Been plagued with injuries for ages, either work related or just because I'm an idiot.

So back to basics.

The ptc beginner program is the only one I've done so far that I consider to have worked well (ie: got stronger & didn't get injured) and that's what I'll be doing again until I stall.

Hopefully it will put me in the right direction.

16/05/2016

Squat 3x10 Bar + Split squats 3x8 Bw (needed to stretch my legs a bit)

Bench 3x8 Bar

Row 3x8 Bar

Ohp 3x8 Bar

Rdl 3x8 Bar

Curls 3x8 Bar

Progression will probably be daily till that slows down, then weekly for as long as possible.

Going to try and update here as I go

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
