Congrats man well done :)

I got myself a new PB on deadlifts this morning with 175kg. Did it after a set of 3x 165kg too :D

Hold on...that sounds like...BIRDS VOLUME TRAINING...what gives man?

Is that the most you've ever pulled on deads? Congratulations. What are you shooting for next?

I had some 95kg jacked dude approach me lastnight after a set of 5 x 160 on deads and ask me how many of them I got out and what weight it was. I said 5 of 160 and he asked me if I do powerlifting. I said nah, but I train kind of similarly with the exercises, what about yourself? He said he does crossfit! Real friendly guy...had the friendly demeanor of a personal trainer, but without the insincerity of trying to collect a client lol. He congratulated me on what I was lifting and it was nice getting accolades from someone a lot bigger than me; even if his size is not my goal, he'd put some serious work into his body and was either impressed with what I was lifting for my frame size or being nice and encouraging :)

Also how do you get that jacked from crossfit alone...I know some of the pros like Rich Froning are quite sizeable, but they usually have lifting backgrounds or routines to back it up too.

Haha sorry bro, definitely not :P 5x 100, 3x 165, 1x 175.

It's the most I've pulled by 2.5kg :) well go for 180 next session though!

I dunno brah, 1RM after working sets...very Birdsesque.

They are pricey but the smaller the plate the better...it's pretty much a guaranteed plateau breaker. Would buy a cheaper alternative for sure but would still want the same weights.

Been reading 'Strength Training Anatomy' over the last couple days. http://www.amazon.com/Strength-Training-Anatomy-3rd-Edition/dp/0736092269

I find it pretty good for some one like me with only a basic knowledge of this stuff. Lots of colour pictures to look at :P

Anybody read it/have any opinions?

Got any suggestions for other anatomy or training books?

Starting Strength

5 x 160 set on deads sounds good Birds, how much are you weighing in at now?

80kg mate, it never changes haha

Think I'd be 80 even if I got up to 250

Thanks :)

There's 6 reps in there but I usually save it for a 180-190 single after that.

200 for a single, but with bigger singles come more reps. 180 used to be my 1RM, but once I got to 190 I was able to do 180 x 2. Same deal will apply when I get to 210 and then it'll be reps of 200 :)

Yeah they say it is supposed to come easier after that 200 mental barrier. I figure that's real good for 80kg BW mate.

I found 5/3/1 helped my max a bit on a few things including the OHP and dead.

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

117.5kg single for an equal personal best, after 6 reps of 100kg on the previous set. Was a much easier feeling lift than I used to do it, too. 120 next session. Waiting for the bench plateau monster to kick in!

Might need to start a bench progress thread ala the deadlift/squat/pull-up threads.

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
