I only do 2 body parts per visit eg Monday chest and bi's, Tuesday Back and Abs, Wednesday Rest, Thursday Shoulders and Tri's and Friday Legs ( Shudder ) I usually do 3 sets of 8 than 3 sets of weight where im failing before 6. I usually do a min of 3 different exercises for each area.

I should add that I am currently bulking and am not doing any cardio. ( also as I typing this Im eating chicken and sweet potato :)

Not if you're only doing 2 or 3 exercises in the session.

I only do two or three exercises in about that time but way less volume, two unfit for that shit haha

Ah fair enough, love sweet potato. Chicken and rice with some guacamole for flavour is nice too

Damn that's fast for that amount of volume

With volume training, as you're not always lifting extremely heavy weights / at your max, you can usually shorten your breaks and pump out lots of reps. It does tax the heart and lungs if you're not used to it, though; your head will certainly spin! My diet isn't fantastic; the volume training burns through calories and keeps me trim.

Also, Leesh, when I do 2-3 exercises it only takes me 45 minutes. If I was doing your workout I would be done in an hour or just over.

Fair enough, higher volume is something I might look into next year once I've hit some of my current goals

did my 1RMs today with my gym bros - a couple of months since I stopped doing bro splits and did the PTC beginner routine. Squat 200kg, DL 170 (one half assed rep at 180 but IMO it dosen't count), Bench 110kg. Weight loss has slowed down (now at 115kg, about 1kg per month), but very happy with my strength gains. I probably could have pushed the squat a little harder, but was not sure about my knees. No wraps, belts or gloves etc, only chalk.

Working on a 120kg bench and 200kg deadlift by the end of the year.

Interestingly my bro split mates were benching 150, but couldn't keep up with squats and only just managed to keep up with deadlift. I reminded them (like I do all split devotees), that squatting is so much easier when done 3x a week.

well everyone always complains about how sore they feel after 'leg' day, or squats day; I found that squatting 3 times a week means that I never have severe DOMS in the quads, glutes or anywhere else for that matter.

Oh I see. I don't get sore from squats anymore because I cant go heavy cos of knee bending in

Give it a shot and see if you like. Good for those who like a mental slog.

This. I don't get doms either unless its after returning from a week or two off...tomorrow for example

yeah my right knee caves in as I'm coming up from the squat

It's causing a hamstring strain too

weak adductors apparently

My adductors were pretty sore for the first few weeks of squatting 3x week, It went away and so did my knee bend. Might be a correlation there but given the amount you squat it would feel like doing a weeks worth in one session.

Give it a shot and see if you like. Good for those who like a mental slog.

Most likely will once I reach my goals, not sure how long that will be, next year sometime hopefully

    • 2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together  Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.
    • Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.
    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
