60kg x 137... get faaarked! lol

I do 20 rep squats every now and then for a finisher... but I usually do them with 90-100kg and that's more than enough for me... I can run a whole basketball game without subbing too so I'm not what you'd call out of shape

try mixed, its the business for deads IMO.

Have tried, not a fan. Whenever I've had grip issues they eventually resolve through conditioning or by stepping up the weight. Not an issue for me now that I'm doing off the grounds!

In what way are you finding it harder? Energy? Time? Cardio? My workout is pretty volume oriented - I'd wager that someone with slightly stronger 1RMs would have a hard time getting through it...not that their workout would be a breeze for me either. My point is, there are a thousand different ways to workout and if you haven't trained for it, it's always going to be challenging!

As for deadlifts...I started off doing SLDLs and got up to around 110-120kg x 10 on that...but recently swapped them out for regular deadlifts, and am finding the opposite to you - 90kg x 10 is comfortable, because the muscles I wasn't using for SLDL obviously have some catching up to do. That and regular deadlifts give me headspins by the 10th rep lol.

Conversely, I would say SLDL requiring more back work and a greater range of motion for that muscle group = less weight than normal deadlifts for you.

How much you wanna wager, I'll bring down 3 guys that total 575kg - 650kg for you to take on, any workout, any exercise, any reps, you choose, make it worth their while though big fella

Mate you gotta stop taking what I say out of context - I said slightly higher 1RMs. Give me 1/3 of my 1RMs and I'll give you 137 reps too.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
