Shell Helix HX5 is premium blend mineral oil at 10W40 costs about $30 for 5 Litres I'm running that through a motor now for the next 200kms super crap auto has it.

oh it's brown alright.. it's going to get a good flush.. cheers for the answers and the R Kelly image..

So back in to a skyline after so long and I've forgotten lots. in an RB20det, which way does the water flow INTO the radiator? Top hose or bottom hose?

how did a belt fix your form? in what lift?

$5K gtr??? nice work man! follow the steps that GTRNUR posted.. if it's a daily, change oil and filter this weekend, use it next week, drop the oil and filter that weekend and repeat for one more week. then put good oil of your choice. If not a daily, then replaice oil and filter, then put say 200km through it while driving as suggested above.. and drop it and repeat. most of these cars weren't serviced properly in Japan anyway.. and you got it at a price where you could afford to go get an R34 GTR motor put in for like an extra $5-7K and still be in front.

geeez... that's f**king terrible.

lol

HAVNOT IZSHIT?

yeah sumo or semi sumo deads might suit you well. leg and hip strength are the keys for semi/sumo deads. When Gareth said equipment he was more referring to equipt power lifting.. ie squat suits and deadlift suits. Squat suit will give more help than deadlifts suits do. But that's another sport all together I reckon. Don't buy straps. You'll end up with an even weaker grip. Belt - well that's up to you... I don't like them and feel more comfortable without one. if you get one, at least get a proper one.. not those BB ones where it has a big bulging wide padded at the back and thinner front. ie = YES = NO

178cm I think 93kg

trying to get PRs while on a calorie deficit leads to all kinds of failure followed by anger.. lol

squat 185 bench 107.5 - paused - not that touch and go is any better.. lol dead 222.5 will find out new number by end of this year if there is a comp on(bench will no doubt be the same)

as a novice it is the norm that your deadlift is more than your squat. but people at the top of their game usually squat more than they deadlift. not by much though. if it's grip related, try a mixed grip. try hook grip too (it's painful on the thumbs though - start light and see if it is for you) are you using chalk? - if your gym doesn't allow it you can get liquid chalk stuff on the web or "climbing" equipment stores. tried deadlifting sumo or semi sumo?

RUSRYS? JKNRYT? DATSDM!

Are we in America?

Joe - out of interest, how much weight difference is there between your 1rm and 3rm or 5rm for the 3 lifts? I know mine but want to see what other peoples are.

you stooges. the guy said "my iphone app tells me what my estimated 1rm is" I agree that the estimated 1rm is of no use to anyone apart from being able to say "in theory I should be able to deadlift x kilos" which is wankerish through and through. saying you shouldn't do 1rms because you might injure yourself is the same as saying you shouldn't run the 100m sprint as fast sa you can because you might sprain an ankle. 1rm is used as "the" measure of strength for power and olympic lifting. If you are interested in your 1rm then go try lifting more weight than your work sets for single reps, increasing the weight each time till you can't lift a weight. you would probably be able to lift that weight that you failed on when you are fresh so that is your current 1rm. but to say "my 1rm should be about xyz according to this iphone app" is just retarded and useless. at least try to PROVE the app right or wrong by attempting it. if it doesn't interest you, don't post it.

Squats main hit might be quads and arse, but the act of keeping the bar stable, on you rback and squatting down and up also hits your posterior chain of muscles which are very important to any sort of movement you need to do. replacing squats with leg press machine or any leg machine is absolutely stupid. if you want to use a leg press machine it should only ever be for 2 reasons. 1.) you can't squat an empty bar 2.) you've done your squats and want to hit your quads for a burn bro type rubbish. that "compression pressure on your spine" as you call it is required to build up all your back and hamstring muscles which help stabilise your back and prevent future back injuries.

there is another way to calculate your 1rm.... do you want me to post the formula?

It's not mine.. I was just helping if the ad is gone I assume the car is too.

Here is the Very first line of the post..

Yeah that's me.. What you want?

Can we agree on a couple of things here?? OP is 183cm tall and 66kg. He needs to gain weight. He needs to train for maximal results. Why are people really advising that he does split routines or 5-6 days a week or forearm curls for the nice burn etc etc? seriously, the guy could eat a bowl of lard 5 times a day for 12 weeks and still look skinny. does anyone here really disagree that this is the perfect scenario for 5x5 of squats/bench/dead/overhead press/chins/rows and nothing more? also, what ever diet he posts, each of the 3-6 meals he has per day should have about 500ml of full cream milk to wash it down. 6ft tall and 66kg. I know a guy that had an eating disorder. He became anorexic. once he got his mind straight, he did 5x5 for a year and ate everything. went from 43kg at 6ft to 100kg. his current lifts are squat 180 bench 140 dead 230 now he's taking some time off from 5x5 to do some BB type stuff to give his joints a break to recover etc. but the point is, size comes from heaps of food and big movements. 3 times week is perfect. OP - if you do splits and time wasting lifts like forearm curls or tricep kick backs etc, you will be 66kg and 6ft when you are 24 too.

Hey mate is it QLD registered? has NSW plates in your pic but you didn't say if it was a recent photo or not.
