leigh , work on your bench tecnique if you can for the next lifts. You need to practice changing the angles on your lift so you don't hurt your shoulders. Your vid shows there is lots of stress going onto the rotator cuff. Basically, see if you can take a slightly narrower grip and lower the weight in a slight arc to just below the nipples on the chest. Keep your shoulder blades retracted in the lift. It will feel initially weird but, give it a go and see if it helps.

Good advice!

Partner did 30 @50% bw today

lol she wins if you can put up a vid

Prolly should have made it 60%, as I read that females have 60% the upper body strength of males, but it wouldn't have made much difference. Well done to her!

Yes well I think the Kara's of this world make good exceptions for a level playing field ha ha... anyone bench 182kgs at 67kgs bodyweight?

She squats 275kg and deads 225kg.....ouch.

Come on Leesh and Charlie...lol

Farking...giving up on life now.

Slightly unimpressive deadlift? Only compared to the bench and squat...

You should throw up some before and after pics of weight loss in your thread (preferably Skyline window reflection). It's quite an achievement at your age (and gives me hope for the future lol).

on your suggestion I just posted in my thread on the build section. I don't have the skyline window tho' so they lack style.

Have John (SRS13)'s attempt ready to post, but we're having a bit of tricky trouble with emails and attachments not being forwarded at the moment. Should have it sorted tomorrow hopefully. Sorry John!

No problems!

Sorry for the headache and thanks for helping out.

What was your bodyweight John? 80kg from memory?

Good form and solid reps throughout! Almost had the 19th...

SRS13

BW: 80kg

BP: 80kg x 18

Claim is useless without vid...post up Troy. 9 reps is nothing to sneeze at.

cbf recording it unless I know I'm in contention for the win :P I'm happy enough with 9 reps of bodyweight though, so I'm not entirely disappointed. Hopefully I can get it up to video-worthy level before end of month :D

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
