Emad weighed 77kg on Saturday and squatted 232.5kg, thats triple bodyweight

He will smash the Open WR in the 75kg class at Worlds. The record is 615kg

In training last week he did 232.5/132.5/260 - 625kg

He has a mangled shoulder, just had a reconstruction, so his bench is down. He benched 150kg at under 80kg at ProRawThree

He has also deadlifted 270kg.

He will squat 240kg at Worlds, bench 135kg and deadlift 265-270, all at 75kg, thus smashing the WR.

Unfortunately in the major city centres your only gym options are major chains like good life and fitballs first.

Closest thing to Sydney city would have to be in North Sydney.

But again. they are over the bridge from sydney city and not something you can go to in your lunch break.

Comp for the Brisbane people...

What: Novice deadlift competition

Where: PTC Brisbane - 352 Melton rd, Northgate.

When: October 6th. Weigh in between 9-10, first lifter on deck at 11am.

Cost: $25

Come and test out what it feels like to lift using world class Bar Bell, Calibrated plates, specially designed lifting platform and no doubt a BBQ by world class BBQ chef.... ME!

Any SAU forum member who comes and competes, I will cover your BBQ cost.

Cheers mate, just gonna go to SSS on the weekends and the odd weeknight when I can.

Markos - where can I get a flat bench in the proper comp dimensions? (just the bench.. not an entire bench press setup.

Just need a bench to use in the power rack I've got.

The adjustable incline/flat one I have is crap with the gap between the 2 seats and is too high off the ground.

I had Scott measure his one we used at Nats and everything I've found so far is either not wide enough or too tall etc.

this is the closest I've found

Markos, do you know of any 6ft olympic bars that have 120cm or more between the inside of the collars? But still have around 25cm worth of room for weight plates on each end? It doesn't have to have a wild weight capacity or anything and I'd prefer to try an keep costs down if possible.

Thinking about making up my own home gym, but a 7ft bar will be too long for the space.

Ladies Olympic bar is the only one on the market thats the full distance between the collars but overall shorter, so it fits in racks

They weigh 15kg and only have a 25cm diameter as opposed to 28.6mm for a full size bar

ABC sell them, not cheap, but very, very strong

How come you cant accomodate another 6" either side?

I'm limited for space in my garage and a 7' bar would only be about 10cm or less from the wall on each side.

The womens bar sounds ok, can you still fit 3 or 4 20/25kg plates on either side? (thinking longer term here)

I had a look on the abc website but I can't see the bar you are talking about. I can only see a 6'4 bar that's 18kg. It would probably be ok as well, so I'll look into both.

Do you know what the pricing is like for the abc bars, particularly the 6'4 bar and the women's 6ft? They don't have pricing on the website...

Thanks for your help

Mine is a proper needle bearing Olympic lifting bar, 15kg, cost over $500

The 18kg bars may be made for Health Spa's, should be cheap

4 plates will easily fit on my bar

Mens bar is 2200mm

Ladies bar is 2000mm

The length is taken out of the sleeve, 100mm each side

I know nothing about cheap bars, only official bars

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
