Is anyone out at Cannock/Sherwood today? (26th)

It is only £15 a month and 3 minutes from home which was the initial appeal. I might see if I can be greedy and set the squats up on 2 benches and see how it goes.

What would it be safe to go up to without a belt? This gym only has a Smith Machine (yeah?) for squats at the minute. No free weight rack. They have free weights/barbells/dumbells just no frame to go with it all..

I've ignored it for now. Only really into week 3 of actual lifting. I can feel the weak side fatigue more and recover slower but its getting there. Legs today. Squats are fun!

Its my lats at the minute. I'm only starting out at the gym. I've been on body weight exercises for a while though. Like you say, the left is the weaker side. I'll see how things progress, Cheers bud.

Is it acceptable to work one side, left or right, if you find muscle building unevenly?

I've just started out in a gym on this sort of stuff. What is with the dropping of weights from up high? Isn't the negative action just as important as the lift?

I work at a general laser cut/fabby workshop. We could knock something like that up in a few minutes. Might be worth poking into a local place and see if they'll do one on the side from the one you presumably still have.

Somebody talk to me about tuning turbo engines. The boost is addictive. I need more!

Its a 205R hot version too. 210bhp.

Fun 2 weeks. Picked the Saab up a little while ago, 21 miles into the journey the big end let go and it fell to bits on the M1. Fast forward to now, new engine in and all seems relatively well. Needs the LCDs sorting and a few little bits here and there. Old engine can be seen in the background. Along with the other project.

Sweet. I like a little comfort nowadays.

For these events does the car actually need to be track prep'd? *I mean cages/seats/harnesses etc.

Seems Curborough is only 40 minutes from me. I can have a place please?

It is. I think I need it on a rolling road to see what its putting out first though?

I need a bit of advice ladies, chucking an engine together atm and its my first turbo build. Its going to need mapping when its done. Is there anyone in particular I should look out for to get a good job done?

Day 1 of Saab ownership. Total disaster.

I'm heading over for around 12ish today. I'll keep adding to this thread when I'll be heading over in the future. Likewise if anyone else wants to stick dates/times up.

Anyone around tomorrow?

BBC are saying Wednesday for me..

I've heard rumour we're due more this week. Can only find the Dailymail as a source upto now though..

Mega bump! I've just knocked up a pull up bar in the garage. Any pointers on getting started? I spent around 15 minutes on it today.. 3 x 3 wide grip pulls with 2 x 5 pull with a body crunch at the top and maybe 12 tight grip pulls..Feel pretty battered. So not a lot but I've not done a great deal of structured working out before.

Indeed! I was heading to Cannock.

Ones that I have seen raw come through work for powdercoating have all had a twist type pattern to the surface. Sprung steel bar maybe?

Can store it at mine for cheaps if you want dude. You've seen my drive before, loads of room (especially now all the roccos are gone).
