have a crack at the next challenge. This one will form an on-going development thread once it's over,so you can give it a go once you are fixed up.

I should be right to have a decent go at this one by end of the month, if not sooner.

I only try the ones that fit into my routine

Do you comment without even looking half the time? Torn hamstring. Powerlifting thread.

l'm sorry for not keeping track of what's going on with your body...

Dim is considered the weakest lifter in our PL team. At under 75kg, he squats 160kg, benches 110kg and deadlifts 200kg, he gets stirred a lot lol

Here is a vid from 2011 of him getting 18 reps with 70kg, his bodyweight then

Gave this a shot tonight after my bench workout. Only managed 9 lol :( Will attempt/film on Thursday when fresh.

80kg x 10

80kg x 10

90kg x 10

95kg x 7

100kg x 4

107.5kg x 2

112.5kg x 1

FML x 1

80kg x 9 (bodyweight challenge)

60kg x 24 (another challenge my basketball friends are doing)

I found the chest touching makes a big difference too. Not that my regular press is much higher off the chest, but just concentrating on every rep touching the chest takes it out of you! Hoping for 20 on Thursday :cheers:

Bout an inch off it according to my training partner.

I think I'm lacking in flexibility, cause I really had to try to get the chest touch happening for the challenge. Have been tucking elbows to nurse my injured shoulder at the moment, which is working well, but it doesn't help with ROM at the bottom of a rep.

All excuses aside, I hope to have something decent on Thurs. Everyone should give this a go, even if you don't film it.

Should my ex or current girlfriend wish to compete

Lulz, you little health and well being whore!

Will do this Thurs, now that I have a later than 6yo 1st gen iPhone I can actually record video!

Can you receive mms now?

Birds - learn to arch back.

then you won't leave an inch between your chest and the bar.

Also - learn to pause bench to practice for the April PTC comp that you will do.

Just pause the first rep of your work sets and carry on with the other reps.

I think someone suggested 50 reps would win this, Like I said Ange Galati did 47, and he can bench 200kg raw at 78kg and 262.5kg with a shirt on

I highly doubt anyone will get 30 reps, 20 is a great effort

Equipment can be an issue too. I trained at a gym in the 90's which had 18kg Olympic bars and 25kg plates that weighed 22kg

I told the story on my forum of the guy who claimed to bench 165kg, he missed 140kg in my gym, without a pause

I said 50 would be amazing, didn't say it would be winning number tho' lol unless Agne buys a skyline in the next 2 weeks...

20 is great.. I would be stoked to get to 20.

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
