I'm slowly thinning on top, must be the governments fault.

Ain't nothin' slow about my thinning Yo.

This is a story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there, I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called No-Hair

had a guy notice me doing cuban press, face pulls etc yesterday, gave me some good pointers with other prehab type exercises I could do (turned out to be a doctor).

Birds that sounds like something the pro BB in our gym would inflict onto one of his PT clients, except for the fact that he dosen't squat so it would be leg press and calf raises lol. how long did it take you to recover afterwards?

Not long til I could stand again, but my legs were cactus for the rest of the night. Dropped down from the pull-up bar and my legs had trouble standing back up etc.

I guess where this shit gets you bad, is that when you are squatting a big weight, your leg and back muscles will go until they can no longer push up another rep of that big weight - but that doesn't mean they don't have lots of strength left in them - just not enough for xxxkg. Hence you can stand easily afterwards under just your own weight. Drop it down to something light, like 60kg, and your last rep at this weight is more likely to drain you of any remaining strength, to the point where you can't support your own body weight for a minute or two. I imagine body squats with no bar would do you even worse.

Give it a shot sometime, after your heavy weights!

I used to think I could do that with 40kg, was trying to prove a point... got to 30 reps lol

Funny this, I don't remember you conceding your point to me; seemed to forget all about it :P

I really have no idea - the most I've done is 64 reps of bodyweight in the 8x8 setup for Tabata!

I tried it again lastnight with sets of 90kg. Back hates me today. Did better in squats lastnight than normally, so I'd say the huge set of 60kg helped somewhat.

Probably :)

But we know I'm too stubborn for that...and my old pb was based on a 1RM after working sets,

However I have switched my squats to that style (1RM before working sets), as they were actually on a severe plateau that I couldn't break through with any other way.

Birds, stubborn?

Stubborn Birds got a 115 bench tonight, so another 5kg and we are home for a new pb :)

Though thinking about it I never used to touch chest; it was always within an inch of it, so I'm probably actually stronger than I used to be.

    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
    • I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:   
    • Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
