Yeah gonna suffer DOMS hard, but should be worth it. If I find the load too taxing I'll cut down. I just wanna exercise as much as I can to make up for lack of upper body movements. Need to keep the calories off.

I don't think you need to worry about this, especially next week.

If you injured yourself badly I'd be reluctant to lean on it without at least giving it a weeks rest.

Better yet, see your chosen therapist and see what they say.

Seems like you're busy enough squatting anyway :)

Tried an empty bench bar in the same session and it didn't present any pain...I could be back to upper body sooner than I thought :)

Playing it safe though. Do we think it's worth doing movements like bench with an empty bar for rehab? Or just wait until completely healed and get back into the weights?

Feeling pain or not, isn't a good indicator with the rotator for recovery. The pain is there when the swelling goes up and that can take a few minutes to an hour before you start hurting. Hence your bench blew it out but, you didn't feel it till later on a relatively light excersise. You can have deterioration in the muscle without feeling it as pain, so be carefull.

testing very carefully the 'weakness' is the way to go. You want the strength to be at least that of the unijured side.

Bench press isn't a rehab movement for this injury. Don't bother with it. Even the empty bar bench doesn't address anything related and you just look like a feeb doing it.

Copy/paste from my build thread as questions get answered quicker in here.

For some reason, my back is worse than it's been so I either did something Friday night or sleeping in shit hospital chairs/not sleeping is giving me grief (Kate has been in pre-labour for the last 3 days so we've been in and out and not sleeping very much). No gym on Monday as a result so I've had a good 3-4 days off.

Not even a stretch is helping me and it's pinching randomly when I'm not doing much.

I've noticed, with squats, that if I go below parallel my body tends to lean forward at the bottom of the motion which I'm wondering if that's causing some kind of cantilever effect on my lower back as I come back up. Or is some form of forward tilt at the bottom of the motion normal/acceptable?

Extra info: A podiatrist friend came over on sunday and did some tests, said my legs are 1.5cm different lengths, specifically from the waist down so nothing from the back as she measured that too. I put orthotics back in my shoes (just off the shelf ones) on her advice on Sunday but I "think" my back was already playing up before that.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
