My guess is the whole point will be that it doesn't have to rev or work that hard to make very solid torque and power figures. I think he said earlier the Nitto SR20 rods were good for 700hp, in an SR, so I'd be thinking expect a bit more on that quite easily. I love the idea of an engine package that's capable of big power but running it at 70-80% of its capability and still having more than enough on tap without stressing anything.

Re: Rev's post. Leesh he's basically saying do a few low weight warmup reps then get right into the meat of it and start pushing the weight up rather than doing eleventy billion reps at weight you have mastered at the expense of being able to push your max anywhere because you've already wasted so much power earlier in the set. I realise this goes against Bird's volume training methodology, but you're a big girl and if you want to try something new, go ahead and do it. I mix it up from time to time and sometimes a change is as good as a holiday.

Probably some gay shit. Anyway. 100 reps of squat? WTF.
-
The best diagnosis, and you saved $50.

You said infection so I assumed it had properly taken hold. If it was just sore, I'd have trained too.
-
I tend not to train if I'm under the weather as it can allow whatever you are fighting to really take hold. My absolute numbrr 1 tip when you have any throat issues, or ears or sinuses (that isn't something obvious like hay fever) is mouth wash 2-3 times daily. It kills so many germs, I almost never have a throat issue take hold. Otherwise I tend to mouthwash only when I remember and usually just floss/brush. If my throat is sore however, I power through it.

100kg Deads, aww yeah. Re the creatine, I don't treat it as a performance enhancer, rather as a recovery enhancer. You're not going to see any mad improvement in output, but you may recover faster. I've been smashing my protein and creatine shakes while doing yard work this week and I'm holding up OK (except my lady hands).

Skipped Gym tonight, had a bit to do on the shed etc. Finished my pipe work then dug a 500mm+ deep, 6-700 wide hole to relocate a tree, the ground was so bloody hard. Surprisingly my shoulders/back etc are OK, but my poor girly IT hands are suffering. The dog was pretty keen to get in the hole and probably dug another few mm down for me lol ITT: nothing gym related lol
-
Surprisingly, the ground is much softer than I expected. I can grab my spade, line it up, put my body weight on it with a bit of a lunge and it'll almost go down the depth of the spade. I bought a mattock in anticipation (and already had a sledgehammer), but have only needed each a few times where concrete had overflowed the box work etc. It's gotta be done before the weekend so the concreters can put the spoon drain in and do the apron. Digging the tree hole and relocating that tree you see up front will be fun too.
-
That pipe in the trench is to allow water to flow from front to back as that's the low side of the block. Pit up the front and larger pit in the rear that will eventually take overflow from a water tank. Once that trench is filled in it'll be concreted over and a spoon drain will sit on top so no mowing or maintenance for me. I could have just relied on the spoon drain to carry water to the pit at the back and not bothered with the pit at the front and the pipe, but given there's a bit of a dip up in the front corner and my apron will be there I didn't want any water saturating that area so made the call to put a pit in and pipe it to the back to pull water away quickly.
-
Finished the main trench last night, that was my cardio, sweated my guts out. Took another 2+hrs to do the remaining 7 or so meters. Now just have another 3 or so to go to connect this trench to the main pit. Fun times. Back is getting a caning. I've made a point of upping my protein shakes and making sure I'm getting enough creatine, I swear I'm recovering from these digs far better than I expected.

Ahh well, that's different then. If you have pain, on one side you've got a ROM, form (setup), or a strength bias issue.

I think as long as you're getting up to 5g a day you'll be fine. I've just read a lot of stuff that said take it after you exercise. As for the squats, how do you expect to improve the problem if you don't train at that weight? Is a little knee bending on one side that big a deal? Is it hurting you? Remember a ROM problem or muscle weakness anywhere must be compensated for my other parts of the chain, the problem may not be the knee at all. My point about training at that weight or beyond it is similar to what I said in my thread about me adding weight to anything. Sometimes I can go 8/8/7 at a given weight for ages and ages, and not ever make that 8th rep, but then I'll add weight an quickly get to 8/8/7 at the new weight, which has pushed me beyond the 8th rep on the previous weight. In your case I see it as, at 45kg your knee starts to bend in, so train at that weight for a while, say 2-3 weeks or so, then go up to 47.5 or 50 and spend another 2-4 weeks at 50. My guess being that after a few weeks at 50, if you dropped back down to 45, there'd be no knee bending because your body is now trained for 50kg and whatever weakness that showed up at 45, has been strengthened such that you get knee bend at 50 now but no longer at 45. Sometimes you have to go a few steps beyond the problem weight to fix the problem at the weight it shows up at. Say a guy can bench 180kg, I bet his 140kg bench is rock solid form wise, but at some point, when he could only bench 145, his 140 might have looked pretty shaky, but as he pushed further and further forward, 140 becomes easier and easier. So for you, by the time you are squatting 60kg reps, your 45 will look solid as. Sometimes you have to go well beyond the problem zone before it gets better. BUT this is just, one view, I'm no trainer or strength coach etc.

Was a little lighter on the back/legs last night as I've got shed work to do this week. Still not managing my 8th rep on the bench, though am doing 7 easier and making a point of doing halves a couple halves after that rep to try and build up some more power for 8. The other way would be upping the weight which is usually what I do and after a week or 2 you're doing 7 reps on the final set of the new weight and can do 8 reps on the previous weight easily enough, but I'm not looking to add heaps of bench weight. Added a little to the chins and made 7 on the final. Did not plank or row as I knew I had to start digging and my back hasn't been great as it is. So after a quick 35min session, spent another 90mins doing this, it has to be at least 300 deep. 3m down, another 9m or so to go...

At those weights (compared to his strength) it's not hard at all Leesh. The rest of us also don't do Birds Euro Training, I mean volume training
