pendlay rows vs conventional bent over rows anyone?

decided to take your advice and skip flat bench the past few days Rev, the right shoulder was feeling better today so did a bit of light bench (cardio day), but it seems to have aggravated it. Since I obviously should give flat bench a miss for a while, what's a good substitute for it? Not having any dramas doing dips or OHP otherwise.

Leave it out completely if you want. If you are chasing lean first, then you can focus on the shoulders and upper back. As mentioned the Dips and things like flys can do the chest muscles for activation.

If you want to be a bench press hero later then you can go back to it. At least with stronger balanced supporting muscles.

Craze wasn't banned .. There was a lawsuit in the states saying craze contained something banned so Ds pulled the stuff off the shelves. Since than the lawsuit has been dropped but craze are conducting there own tests ( that was an email I received from Ds labs after I sent them a query )

If you're so keen on "power lifting" type of training then why not make the switch to that type of gym?

because there is only one gym in Mildura that does any kind of powerlifting training, and after looking into their training routines and outcomes, I wasn't convinced.

One of the Crossfit gyms in town is apparently getting into powerlifting as well, so I'm going to check it out when my membership is up. Trust me, I don't like having to wait 30 minutes to use the only power cage every time I'm there!

It is too low. This girl practically halved her calories instead of weening off them into healthy foods. Sorry but if you're onthe verge of blacking out during your exercise routine, it's too low; beyond a deficit. She's trying to cut and take the "easy/quick" way around it.

yeah I agree with you, you know who I'm talking about too.

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
