Cheers man. Didn't use to be. This section is completely new (like yours). The old section is still very "health club" like. Souths Juniors train here occasionally and they've got their first PL comp being held here next month.

Sounds exactly like my gym. Until now I'd been deadlifting in any open space I could find amongst the incline benches etc. Not all bad as you get to look good lifting heavy in front of people, but nothing beats a good platform and bar!

I'm gonna look into seeing if I can get my gym to put up a members record board.

^^ I agree. I hate the slippy slidey cross-fit style bars. I need proper knurling in the middle too, for squats.

You mean oly bars? The ones used for the Olympic lifts, not cross fit.

Iron edge bars have hit and miss knurling, couple I've used cut the hands up beyond a joke, not cut right or something, others are good.

So took my week off, ready to come back for a light session last night, went to be early instead due to flu, can't catch a break.

Just cannot catch a break. Drinking juice, taking multivitamin, eating yogurt, up'd protein intake, just cannot seem to get a run of more than a week or 2 of being somewhat "healthy".

Need some decent sleep too, being a parent is equivalent to having Ebola on every surface in your house :)

Other parents tell me it starts to improve after about 2-3yrs...

Basically yep. I think all our texas bars have the knurling in the middle except one or two that are dedicated for bench. We got 2x dedicated squat bars which are 25kg and thicker as part of the buy.

fancy gyms there - t the PL club I train at has mostly the ABC black anodized bars, there is a couple of Iron Edge ones that have finer knurling, they all feel pretty good to my hands, though the Iron Edge ones cut into the top layer of the skin with heavier deadlifts.

And shoulder, back and trap are le f**ked.

Have had some discomfort in my right shoulder particularly for awhile now but as of yesterday on bench it is now much much worse.

Booked in for a physio see what they say

Not good Mitch :( Hopeful you can just rest up and need nothing more than that.

I've made some small adjustments to my routine to hopefully stop going backwards, added weight, dropped from 3x8s to 3x6s for a while to build a little more strength again.

A guy here said he had huge success with back extensions/morning glory type exercises so I've removed the back plank I was doing and added swiss ball back extensions, trying to up my eating and get to bed earlier.

See how we go over the next few weeks.

    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
    • Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
    • Brand was ard.   I also threw a brand new battery at it and beefed up the wire from the alternator to battery and added an extra earthing point from the battery 
    • Evening all,       I'm replacing some bolts on my RB25 with probolt Australia bolts.       Does anyone know the following, m5 m6 etc 10mm 20mm etc       Coil cover   Cam covers   Plazamaman fuel rail   Front cover (timing cover)   Etc   Any help would be awesome   Or any lists anywhere
