deads and bb military are very similar. and i'd say most people do those

How are they similar? The one is a pull and the other is a press. Both are GREAT exercises.

If you were being sarcastic I missed it due to lack of italics.

I too have trouble detecting the sarcasm...change of tone should stay the hell away from the internet, even with italics...

As for defining strength...GTST...don't bother with that one. There are so many different takes on it and as someone said we all have different goals. 1 rep maxes mean SFA to me and I never do them because they don't prove much unless you're a competition powerlifter...competing. When someone asks me how much I can bench press I give them my pyramid worth of sets that I normally do because I believe including stamina gives a more accurate description of what I'm capable of as an individual. Tracking progress for me is simply a matter of increasing the weight on the sets and seeing how well I cope with it. Most real life lifting situations require strength to be used more than once, so unless you're lifting a heavy object off someone to save their limbs/life then a single lift is a pretty useless benchmark of strength. Besides that, we have our good days and bad days at the gym: your 1 rep max is never going to be consistent if you are lifting to your true maximum ability. It is just a single sample from a large population, so what kind of gauge is that? It's statistically flawed.

Now I'm starting to feel like a hypocrite because I'm criticising your definition of strength after telling you not to do the same, so I take it all back...just don't push your definition onto other people as if they are "weak" for doing things differently. The reality of it is, if any of the regular gym junkies in this thread were to test out each others workouts...unless you're doing exactly the same workout, which I doubt...I guarantee you will wake up sore somewhere in your body the next day simply because of the variation in exercises/methods. And the core strength fanatics/snobs (I'm one of them) will get caught out on arguing that one because it's quite impossible to workout every part of the body in every way there is - even fulltime bodybuilders compromise with the exercises they do. There's no single way about achieving the same goal, even if we all had the same goal.

GTST: your saying train like a powerlifer... have you seen how a powerlifter looks? majority or nearly EVERYONE on this board would rather look like a bodybuilder than strongman.. and the way i train and the way i recommend to train is how a bodybuilder would train.. watch BLOOD AND GUTS by dorian yates.. tell me if you see a clean and jerk or an overhead bb press standing..

im not saying your wrong.. but to call me stupid by the way i train.. your a dead set idiot for saying that..

and i dont do 1rep max's.. and my strength has never gone backwards.. apart from hitting the recreationals on weekends at events then training the day after.

also do you walk around with a barbell and a few plates to show people how good you are at overhead presses and clean and jerks? the aim is to LOOK STRONG.. because if you look like a bag of shit and can clean and jerk 10 times more than someone who looks better.. no one cares.

ok man.. I get it.

I'm sure you also like neons under your car.

I bet you also own a ed Hardy t-shirt

And I'm certain you wax and get fake tans.

so you're a body builder.

during your weekends of recreationals, do you walk around in posing trunks?

since you're assuming I'm a powerlifter who walks around with a barbell and plates to do clean and jerks (cause you know, that is a power lifting event), I can only assume that you must always be waxed, fake tanned and oiled up in tiny trunks, who also carrys around a BB (probably an EZ bar) and 10kg plates so that you can PUMP every 30 minutes to maintain the "strong look"

Tell me, does your car have those fake Brembo caliper covers? because they have the LOOK of being STRONG brakes.

You'll wake up to your stupidity one day... But I don't expect you to be humble enough to admit it.

Again..

do you live close to FRANKSTON ?

If I could organise for a free gym session for you, would you go there?

nope i have a 44mm external gate and a high mount 3540 :D

i dont own an ed hardy tshirt and never will id rather spend 200+ on a good weekend or a pair of air max 90s

im not nicknamed "baboona" for no reason :D and im a light skinned wog and dont give a shit about it.

no, i live in thomastown.

what the hell are you trying to prove?

i dont think your a powerlifter.. never said you were. your upset because i defend the way i train and i say it works. and you got sand in your vag and had a hissy fit over it.. get over it man, its the wasteland :)

well you want to look strong, but you don't care if you really are strong.

so if you apply the same theory to your car, you would have bits that make it look really tough but be powered by an RB20e

essentially, your theory on your training and what you get out of it is like a GTR badge on a GTS

edit - I was hoping you would be near FRANKSTON as there is a little gym there that I wanted to you to have a session at.

and once you're done being outlifted by girls, perhaps you would rethink your methods.

    • Tape some wool onto the vent then take it for a drive I did this to my reverse cowl and was instantly unhappy, as anything over about 60kph would have the wool enter the engine bay, thus just adding underbonnet pressure and stooging my coolant stack, it did let alot of heat out when stationary though, which really didn't help once the car was moving, with the reverse cowl you could watch the coolant temps cheap up the faster you went on the hwy, I assume it would be alot worse doing track day speed With the vented bonnet (just after the radiator and about 1/3 up the bonnet) on my old R33 the wool on the leading edge sat at about a 45° angle as air poured out of it From looking where your vents are, and their size, I believe you should be fine at speed and air should be evacuated from the engine bay, I think it will be a night and day difference when stuck in traffic though for removing the trapped heat, and not sitting there cooking when parked up after driving around... #convection  Post wool tuft pics and data for science  This beastie is one nice and unique rig, enjoy
    • It is possible to do this stuff for "cheap". But you need to be able to get deals on all the bigger items, and it really helps if you're fully capable of doing your own work. As soon as you're paying retail for new parts, or buying "kits" because you can't fabricate necessary bits and pieces, and if you really need someone else to take the reins of doing the work because you don't have the space/time/skills/confidence to  rip deep into the car and put it back together in a working fashions.....then you pay. And these days, pay means a lot of money. You'd think things would get cheaper, but they don't. They just seem to keep getting more and more expensive.
    • It’s almost the price of an engine build, you won’t have anything to bolt onto it though 
    • Hopefully it's enough to help with the temps! I was also only shit stirring, regarding Murphy's Law basically. I've found, what ever spare parts I have, are the parts I don't break. Ever. Also have never had issues with oil/spinning bearings until I put oil pressure gauges on the car. 😛
