No gym for me tonight but my back and legs got a decent workout today assisting with this...

Off topic I know, but damn, what a process. So glad to be a man.

She might not bench or squat much, but I was pretty impressed with her strength today!

Squat PR this morning YEWWWWWW

PR as in a PB? Awesome job :D

Thanks guys, and a hat tip to the women in your lives who have had kids, not an easy process.

Back on topic. Can't saying having my feet strapped so tight has really made much of a difference to my back, and I haven't been doing any gym work since Friday and I wouldn't be inclined to say it's improving through not using it (not using it heavily through gym).

I'll get a start on the oblique work and see if that helps. Anyone have any personal favs improving oblique strength?

Cable woodchops (as I'm sure Birds will agree) are amazing for obliques. I can't find you a demo video right now since I'm at work and uboob is blocked :(

you must of totally missed my point last page about the squats/deads and weak core.....

Edited by jangles

Not at all, I know a strong core is needed and that doing the motion helps.

But if I'm having issues at only 50kg squat and SLDL hen I've either got some sort of imbalance due to my leg or poor core strength from being laid up.

Want to fix it so I can squat MOAR.

The fix to a weak core is to squat more.

to be able to squat more you need to squat more.

any further questions?

also, try overhead squats.. even light (which is all you'll be able to do at first) will smash this "core" you keep referring to.

I know you like reading so..

for those in the TL;DR group.

Squat!

    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees. 
    • I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.
    • I must preface my comments with a general expression of ignorance. I have no specific knowledge of these NA automtaic things. I can only assume that the "steering wheel button" is for enabling the tiptronic controls. Wierd that it would even need/want a button for that... But anyway.... Was the car previously tiptronic? Did you put a new cluster in as part of all this?
    • Regardless, it doesn't seem wise especially on RBs to actually chase MBT. Timing scatter is the big one on stock CAS, even if that's fixed overshoot is worse than undershoot. 
    • It's all about reducing the overall output. Reduce the source of it, you have wayyyy less to deal with in every other step and trick you play with. It's why something like a modern vehicle, so VW, Audi etc, there's thousands of tables for the ECU to calculate what it should be doing with the engine.   Why would you NOT reduce emissions the most effective way possible, when it has very minimal tradeoff, AND manufacturers are always struggling to meet the current standards.
