Get the contact details and call up and speak to Dan or Paul.

Tell them you want to be shown how to squat, bench and deadlift with correct form.

they are open all week and Saturday's I think.

Make a time to visit and get taught all 3.

probably cost you $20 for the session.

Most important thing you'll get out of it are cues. Things to remember when doing the movement.

Eg squat:

sit back

knees out

chest up

Deads:

shoulders back

Back arched

push the floor away.

Also if you are doing something odd that you don't feel, they will see it and tell you so you know to fix it.

You can watch all the vids you want but a simple coaching session will be 100 times more beneficial.

Leesh. Just visit ptc Perth. Once.

it'll be worth it.

Deadlift will be slightly different for everyone. Different length arms, legs etc etc....

YouTube - mark rippetoe deadlift

He teaches it well.

I always figured you for a fan of Rippetoe!

This gave me a crucial pointer. I was breaking at the knees first rather than bending from the waist to lower down the thighs then breaking the knee.

This might help my clearance issue, I'll try it tomorrow.



Fell asleep way early last night (8:15pm or so, early as all hell by my standards) resulting in waking up at 4:30 this morning knowing I wouldn't be going back to sleep....today was the first time in many many months I've actually got up at such a stupid hour and stayed up, let alone done something productive with this time by going to the gym. Morning sessions THIS EARLY make for pretty some half arse lifts lol...though at least I'm up to 44kg working sets on DB press now :)

I don't know how people exercise in the mornings. I find I've got far less strength and given I don't have much anyway it essentially means I'm wasting my time.

That and It takes forever to warm up.

Props for getting in and getting it done.

I trained at out under the patio at 5am for about 3 years.

Winter was always much much harder... temp wise and lighting.

The last thing I wanted to do was hold on to that freezing cold bar.

As the years went by, each winter just got harder and harder and the knees and back took longer and longer to warm up.

It was good though.. by the time I got to work I'd already been up for 3 hours and done my lifting... Could just sit around and eat all day.

Train evenings now.

I prefer to train in the mornings. When I've been dedicated to going to the gym, it's been at 5-6am (the primary reason I changed to Jetts from Fitness First). Partially has to do with having a dad who's ex-military... also has to do with me liking regularity in my regime. Work can finish anywhere from 5-midnight so makes it tougher to stick to a schedule.

With that said, one of the guys that used to work with us had this supplement that was also an energy lifter. He wouldn't drink coffee at work in the mornings because this stuff had him going.

Anyone know what I'm talking about? Have been feeling my energy levels steadily depleting over the last 12 months and could do with a boost to get me back into my routine. If it helps, the stuff he was using was in a white bottle, with black label and red writing.... as generic as that is..

Any help would be appreciated!

Yeah, what Tolga said. What you're looking for should only be used on the odd occasion you're run down from lack of sleep or just a busy day. Long term energy problem are either going to be chronic fatigue/consistent sleep loss, or just a shitty diet. Any other possible causes will definitely not be fixed by an energy drink as they're either illness related or hormonal.

Just eat more.

    • My Neo turbo only went last year. Not 35 years old, to be sure - closer to 25. But still.
    • There's no way they left the factory like that. In R chassis there is nothing stopping the steering wheel being put on one spline out from straight, and then adjusting the steering arms to "correct" it (sort of). As well as the indicator cancelling there would also be an issue with how tight you can turn in one direction to the other. The other (less likely) possibility is that the "clock spring" (the circular electronic part that allows the wheel to turn while still having an electrical connection for horn and any other buttons like cruise) might not be in place correctly. I don't have any pics of the R33 (or Stagea) setup but there would be a circular locating tab which sits in the steering column to have it straight...if that is not seated properly then the indicators may not cancel at the right point (and, you might also get a HICAS error since it would think you are driving in circles)
    • It will mostly be bad scoring on the bores, which you can almost certainly fix by machining for oversize pistons. I have to say, I am super surprised that any standard turbos made it 35 years down the track before exploding!
    • Thanks for the info mate was thinking 255/35 rears and 235/40 fronts
    • What's the difference? I would have said that between the front and rear axle lines, there's no noticeable diff between a GTR and an NA 2-door.
