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

Sounds stupid but stretch :/

I can now touch my toes easy when cold and palm the ground when warm because I stretch daily.

I also do back and hip stretches as well, has made a big diff for me.

Palm the ground with straight legs?!

I didn't think it was a big deal personally and not being able to do it was pretty poor in terms of flexibility.

Back when I was doing Karate it took me 10mths when I first started to get to my toes, I had THE worst flexibility.

I try and stretch regularly now as it pays dividends.

Stretching Poverty in my leg country is 3rd world for sure.

At your karate they weren't mean to you then. When I was doing budo yoseikan as a teen my teacher, Yoshiaki Unno ,pretty much fast tracked you to flexibillity via the pain method ha ha.. (he was a great guy tho).

I'll paste this here as I don't think anyone reads my build thread which is admittedly more a tracking tool for me, my stats and thoughts.

Well it was a mixed bag at the Fracture Clinic.

The good news is the metal work has not moved and the Dr is suggesting we wait another few months to give it a full year before making any calls.

The bad news is that he's also suggesting that removal might be the better long term solution because then there's no question of if it's causing me any irritation. That would mean up to 6wks off any impact sports/exercises etc, so no squatting and no DL. Everything else I could do and walking would be fine. I'm wondering if ham string and leg curls could be OK but I have no provision for doing those at home.

I'll be seeing the physio on Friday to talk about it more now that we know that at least the metal work is staying put.

Part of me wants it out never to have to worry about it again, part of me doesn't want 6 wks off when I'm just starting to get some momentum in things. Then I think well whats 6wks in the grand scheme of things if it means not having to think about the metal any more.

If I just go ahead and leave it in and then find out it's an issue say 5yrs down the track, it's a more serious surgery to remove it as the bone grows over/around it over that length of time. 1-3yrs is the ideal window for removal.

What would you do?

Better 6 weeks off NOW than 6 weeks off when you've made serious progress that you're really happy with. You'll have more to lose if you put it off, though the same could be argued that you'll get back into it much faster if you waited.

Personally, I'd do it now if it's causing irritation. If it wasn't causing irritation, I'd never* get it removed.

*as long as I continued training

EDIT: just read the last point again - remove it now.

I'm talking with the original surgeon also just to clarify a few things, as he's the local gun on these things.

I think I will get it removed, but I may wait to at least give it the full 12mths so everything around it is as strong as it can be when I go ahead and weaken the structure again.

Ad Troy: I'm happy with the progress I've made already, I started Squatting and DL 30kg remember... lol

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂

      Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges.

      UniClutch

      By B-Boi34 · Posted

      I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.

      Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
