Knew someone would be a smart-ass!

Physio told me I have bicep tendonitis... spewing. So its a few weeks to a month of legs and squats.

Any upper body recommendations that are not going to make it worse while it recovers?

Get into a solid fapping routine. 3 sets of 100 reps per arm.

What do you guys think about home made weight plates ?

I am thinking of designing some in solidworks at work and then getting them lasercut to spec.

Ideas ? Interest ?

Also considering designing my own squat rack and cutting it here.

Sounds like you'll still be able to do pushing movements so triceps, chest, shoulders should all be fine to work.

If you can get them to be the correct weight (like within a gram of each other) then it should be fine.. but also consider that buying brand new rubber coated plates which have handles built in and are the correct diameter and cost about $3 a kilo or less delivered, you'd better be making a decent saving.

As for the rack, I can find you detailed plans of a power cage if you would like.

Any idea of root cause?

My knee tendonitis is actually a combination of hamstring tightness and glute tightness, and maybe the quads are involved too. Either way, if i stop stretching / rolling for any reasonable period of time even without weights I start getting knee problems.

The physio's gave me some excercises but they never helped, it took a long time to find the cause.

Yes Please !

the weight of the barbells would be pretty close, probably not to the gram though. however I know I could make them for a lot less than $3.00 per kilo.

Wear em loud and proud eh?

Nah, I hate that carpet burnish feeling I get from scraping the bar up against my shin. I still get it a bit in trackies, but it's not as bad. Hopefully my shin skin will start getting thicker soon.

Are people doing deadlifts on leg day or back day?

I always seem to do them on back day purely because I like to squat on leg day and I wouldn't be able to get the most out of it if I did them on the same day. I do Bulgarian/straight leg deadlifts on leg day instead which seem to be ok even after squatting.

Are you guys more oriented toward the powerlifting side of training?

I just find I struggle to get decent weight up on deadlifts after doing 4x10 of squats. Doing them on my back day seems to work better for me I think. It allows me to give them my all rather than half assing them because I'm already spent.

I was just interested to hear other people's thoughts on how you work them both into your training...

Having watched some tutorial/classroom style videos from Mark Rippetoe over the last week, I'm convinced that deadlifts are primarily a back exercise (while they do hammer glutes and hammies something nasty though)

      Well, this, but braided line to the sender that is mounted on the chassis. Oil Pressure doesn't need to be close, while I prefer Oil Temp is in the active oil flow (bro science, not sure how much it matters).  That's how I've had mine set up for years and it works OK

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By Duncan · Posted

      But, per MBS206's question, what happens when it doesn't start. When you turn the key to IGN, do the dash lights come on (then go off after a couple of seconds) - likely alarm or other electrical issue When you turn the key to STRT do you head a clear click (the starter solenoid trying) without the engine turning (likely starter motor)

      I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.

      This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
