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.

are you looking at making barbells or plates?

as for plans..

I'm sure that has all the info you need.

in the end it will look like this.

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)

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly.
