If you can carry you shopping your not buying enough food. If you cannot carry your shopping your not lifting enough. And go.

You should offer him advice

Nah man, would rather gossip about him online for lulz and leave him to it haha.

I'm sure there's a reason for it, even if it's just because he thinks it's cool and he's just being wanky. Either way he was a nice guy and complimented my efforts on bench press, so he can do his thing.

Just f**ks with my head.

dam TTT beat me to it.

In seriousness though, I have done bench, military and a few other lifts with the belt on (because I couldnt be bothered to take it off after squats and carry it around) but my lifts were pretty good with it. Felt stable and a little stronger. But that could come down to a number of different factors, diet for example could have been real good.

Just saying.

we got these kids that come to my gym, they are about 50-60kg only real young. Worst form of concentration curls I have ever seen. Really throw their whole weight into it and sling their entire arm. It really is funny. Tried to help them out and tell them they are doing it wrong, go lighter the response i got was a beaut "what would you know?"

As many in here will attest - no matter how badly someone is doing something, don't bother giving advice unless they ask for it. If you really want to, as Birds has suggested go up to them and open with something along the lines of "Hi, how open are you to criticism?"

Italics = sarcasm.

People do wear belts for bench and over head press.

I find it helps for OHP but I can't use it while I bench.... well I can, but it doesn't help and makes it alot more uncomfortable.

-FIGJAM- aren't you the "66kg Monster" - why on earth did you try to give advice?

If I was that kid curling like a dickhead and you suggested I do it another way I'd have given you the same response.

Honestly, advice given in a regular gym without being asked is f**king annoying..

Especially from someone who doesn't look like they've ever lifted a weight in their life.

go youtube searching for footballers training sessions and see how they curl...

then film yourself giving them advice on form.

post here.

Yeah I know it was sarcasm :P

I wouldn't really question someone wearing a belt if they were lifting heavy, even if I thought it was pointless. He was doing SEATED preachers using ezcurl bar +10kg on each side, and seated military in the smith with 15kg on each side.

Anyway, next topic

He should squat

So why does your back still hurt? :P

I see young guys come in all the time and exactly the same, they start curling with the worst techniques; lifting shoulders, throwing their backs, moving elbows etc I want to say something to them but not to fix their technique... more rather to stop curling and stick to the basics for a while, bench, lat pull downs, uprights, deads (although daunting for newbies) and yes squats! I reckon that's the BEST advice you can give them, fark trying to tell them how to curl!!!!

I wouldn't call either of those heavy, but maybe he was trying to limit the involvement of his back in the curls or something? Seated ohp, I can sort of understand.

That's what I was thinking, very low weights for a belt unless he has an injury, which the way he moves etc suggests is not the case. Meh.

It's getting better now that I'm back to squatting though..

Bali singlets for curling in

Bali singlets? Is that a style, or do you just mean Bintang singlets? lol

singlets that only cover nipples / reach down past your waist always make me laugh

There are 2 guys in my gym that dress EXACTLY like this (in fact, at least one of them wears the same stuff every day :sick: They're the most self-obsessed egotistical twats I've ever met.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I've done a few BMS systems. Code in Canada use to force us to have any safety components outside of the PLC but with a code change back in 2018 I believe it was, we can now use safety PLC's to control everything. Sadly to your point, AB Guardlogix safety instructions for example are only available in ladder.  Machine safety is a very big thing here though, you're constantly forced to migrate to the next best thing by OSHA. I honestly prefer safety plc's, including anything from AB more then I do working with old school safety monitoring relays. PLC is only one portion of it, the rest of the electrical still has to follow to meet SIL (Mechanically linked dual contacts, bla bla)  Now tell me how to feel about safety over comm's (e.g Ethernet/IP CIP) on a unmaintained network haha

      To your point, boolean logic. We're not only working with bools in ecu's, so it's very limiting. I wanted to setup a low WMI pressure alarm. After 1 second I want WMI line to hit 100PSI, 2 seconds 175PSI, etc. and trigger an alarm if it doesn't meet those thresholds. This would of taken me one very short line of text, but instead I had to bugger around with generic timers, conditions, etc. and so forth.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By pogman · Posted

      I much prefer that to an actual oil pressure issue, never would of thought it would of been a volt drop issue but SAU brains win again. Guess ill be turning down the oil pressure limit for the track and hunting some grounds. Ill hopefully update this thread with some high oil pressure and solid ecu voltage logs.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
