Not sure if the entire insertion is missing, been years since I saw him with no top on and he doesn't really train, so no huge looking imbalance...but I do remember it looking a little strange in certain positions.

Guess that's another testament to my argument that bench press is not first and foremost a chest exercise...people without a pec can still do it, albeit with limitations.

My mate has very large triceps/arms. lifetime of compensation.

I've got the same thing, just assumed it was from injuries haha some people say its normal, some say its from injuries/imbalances.

My physio didn't mention anything about it when I was having my shoulder treated, so it cant be that much of a big deal.

I'll mention it to mine when I'm there next. I "think" I badly strained that shoulder many years ago in a high speed roller blading accident, yes I know.... lol

The body is assymmetric in many ways; one of the big issues competing bodybuilders face besides trying to put on the muscle and make it look good. Symmetry is often a judging criteria.

It's quite normal to have a natural imbalance like one shoulder sitting higher than the other. If it's because of a concurrent injury, then that's a different story. But if your technique is symmetrical, with no weaknesses on one side, or chronic injury on one side, I wouldn't worry about it.

My brother is missing a pectoral muscle or something and it causes his shoulder to slump on one side lol

I don't have even ROM on bench. I will be sure my grip is even on the bar but I run out of arm travel on the right (lower shoulder) side before the left.

Interesting. Still no big deal as long as it doesn't cause injury and you have no issue retracting your scaps to position yourself safely on a bench. It may lead to slight muscle imbalance aesthetically, I don't really know, but not a big impact on your training other than what you've mentioned. I have a long pelvis that sucks a bit for lifting with my lower back, as I believe ye olde torque principle applies here.

The more pressing issue for you, is telling your parents you're gay (rollerblading).

Rollerblading was the bomb, a lot faster than skateboarding.

I think I still have an old pair floating around in a box somewhere.

I confess I still have my K2 Moto Xtremes with all of 10 uses on them. That's $50 per use!

Getting pretty ghey in here with all this fruit booter talk.

I'm a skater (skateboard) rollerbladers are my mortal enemies haha

Interesting, Both your arms the same length?

I have pretty even rom I think, one side is obviously weaker than the other though.

I've got a pair of K2 Camanos, used em like 4 times lol. Got em second hand off an old workmate who'd also used them only a couple of time hahaha...just not quite my thing anymore.

I'm with Mitch on the bodyboarding though, holy shit is it the best way to spend time in the surf! Haven't done it in a while though, but have 4 days down the coast with housemates mid next month so definitely taking it with me :D

Currently at 937km of riding done since I bought my bike. Most consistent cardio I've ever done lol. f**king loving it, but still neglecting lifting big time :( particularly since it's been so farken hot lately! :(

    • As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car  
    • For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..
    • +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
