Birds as per your post in Leesh's build:

You mentioned that you don't believe that if you tried your 1RM before starting volume training that you wouldnt hit the same volume as if you did it the other way around due to muscles getting sore.

Yet you went on to say that 1RM at the end of your set can be in your opinion a testament to true strength (along these lines), but as per the above, if you are already stuffed from volume training then surely your 1 rep max weight is less then if you performed it just after a couple light warm ups.

I know you aren't after 1RMs or sole strength gains, but can you see how what you said doesn't make absolute sense? You contradicted yourself in basically the very next paragraph. Or did I miss something?

Hope that makes sense

Due to muscles tiring*

No I didn't say anything about it being a testament to true strength. All I said was, if you can do a 1RM after your volume training, you can do it at any time on and given day, even if you feel sick, when you haven't had the volume training to tire you out first. Of course I believe your 1RM will be higher before volume training.

Rather than contradicting myself, I was actually pointing out the contradiction that you thought I had made: people say that volume is completely unaffected by doing 1RM prior to it, but that 1RM is affected by volume prior to it. I argue that you can't have one and not the other.

sorry mate, misread the paragraph.

I agree with your point.

If you have been busting your balls every workout and then change the workout to go for a 1RM at the beginning rather then at the end, then something has got to give.

If you do a 1rm at the beginning of the workout and push out an extra 10,20,30kg (whatever) and then hit the same volume levels in the same set and rep scheme (or even improve it) then something is drastically wrong.

My opinion though.

Yep that's true.

And before anyone jumps in (because I always have to disclaimer anything I say in here), I'm not saying that doing 1RM at the end of your volume training is the best way to increase your strength. The traditional method is to do your heavy singles after a warm up and then follow up with your volume training .

really depends on your end goal.

Trent @ PTC told me to do 1RM's every 3 months just to see where I am at strength wise

as an indication not a definitive this is the be all and end all or to get stronger, just as an indicator

Good article; it says an elongated version of what I say on here every few weeks or so when I get sick of reading the unnecessarily pedantic questions about the 99% or someone's latest idea to achieve the 1% when they haven't even got the 99 yet.

Actually on second read I notice no mention of steroids, yet being IFBB and looking at the dude it's hard to believe he wouldn't be using; not that I don't agree with all he's written, but it's kind of interesting to see no mention of it with regards to training and recovery etc.

I like the part where he says Troy should be eating complex carbs like pasta and bread :P

Since when was bread a complex carb (in most cases, given white bread is most popular)? I thought it was a shitty carb lol....either way, I do eat carbs. Far too much lately.

Interesting to be is the part about push/pull/legs.

I've always done full bodies 3x weekly (well not lately but usually) but I've contemplated if I'd be better splitting like that.

For anyone else who does that sort of split, what sort of exercises are you doing to fill an hour?

Before leg and back issues I was doing, squat, bench, DL, bent rows, weighted chins, weighted dips in that order.

    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
