If you can carry you shopping your not buying enough food. If you cannot carry your shopping your not lifting enough. And go.

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?

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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
