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 issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
