Cheers man, gets better though :P As of this morning I'm weighing in at 77kg...and managed that 180kg pull :D vid below - was a bit sloppy halfway up, not quite sure what happened but at least it wasn't an almost-failure point hahaha

Dude.. go see Shero about your form before you do pemanent damage.

I hope it was a one off but if your hips are rising that much each time before the weight comes off the floor then you are on your way to injury town soon.

Forget that you had a brain fart midway through the lift...

you basically lifted your arse right up, then you invented the first ever sumo stiff legged deadlift with a pause halfway up

bretty sure you're not allowed to discuss gear use on this board - AusBB has a gear section

Don't see any issues with it, aside from most members here having no real interest in steroids or the discussion thereof.

Also, swapped out the 3rd set of flat bench for 2 lighter sets of incline just to mix it up.

I'm assuming it's not normal for the bar to be flying around above me at only 50kg lol.

Clearly I'm lacking some strength in some supporting muscles when benching on that angle.

Do you regularly do incline? With a barbell or with dumbells? If the movement is new to you, it will take some getting used to. Start with a lighter weight (empty bar?) maybe?

No never, so it's a new thing.

It's already getting better, I think it was just a combo of it being very light and me not knowing what to hold/how to do the movement smoothly.

It was funny though.

I remember the first time I did decline bench - couldn't even get the bar up with 60kg on it, and that was when I had a 117.5kg flat bench. Then it wasn't long before my decline overtook my flat. Different movement will change everything!

What did I miss in his post that made it about steroid use? Clearly I'm not up with the lingo.

eat clenbuterol, trenbolone hard lol.

Troy I was under the impression that it was verboten to actively discuss it here - I find it an interesting topic, but have no plans to use myself (and I'd be mad to at this point).

I used to find decline easier than flat Birds - I have noticed that nobody uses the decline bench at the gym any more, has it fallen out of vogue now?

Clearly I do not even know enough about the topic to see the words in front of my face lol.

I could care less if people use it/don't use it. Claim they don't use when they do, or openly admit they do. Your body, your business.

If I was competing I'd care, I'm not so I don't.

i only really care when people who present themselves as role models or are teaching / instructing / motivating others lie about their use.

It's bad enough the legions of young guys who think they can look like an IFBB pro or Zyzz without chemical assistance, let alone those supposedly setting an example, Kali Muscle being a notable case.

The day this board prohibits DISCUSSION of AAS on the basis of them being illegal is the day you'll stop seeing my username anywhere in this section. Sourcing and price discussion shouldn't be allowed, of course...but anywhere or anyone that would rather force ignorance onto the curious has no place in my ideal community.

I don't think it'll ever get that far Troy.

By that standard we would also not be allowed to discuss burnouts, speeding, drifting on public roads, or things like speed, pot, etc.

A "discussion" hurts nobody. Condoning on encouraging illegal activities is quite another thing.

It is usually easier/stronger than flat bench, particularly if your flat bench position is a "flat back" style. I'm pretty sure powerlifters / pro-benchers try to mimick the angle of decline on flat bench with their severe back arching (as well as creating leg drive). It not only has less range of motion to travel through, but creates more leverage.

Since adopting a position like this, I've overtaken my pre shoulder injury PBs on bench press.

I have a friend who ditched flat bench altogether because he likes that decline gives him an extra few reps or 5kg more over flat bench lol

I totally agree with this. If someone is on the gear why do they feel they have to lie about it.

    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
    • STOP GOOGLING FAB9 MAKE BORG WARNER EFR KITS FOR THE NC. THEY PACKAGE AN EFR 6758. DO NOTHING ELSE. CAPS INTENTIONAL. THE BEST RESPONSIVE SETUP EXISTS FOR YOUR CAR, AND HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. IN B4 "BUT I WANT EVEN MORE RESPONSE, IN A SIMPLER, MORE RELIABLE PACKAGE" WHICH IS A LS.
