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

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
