Deads are coming along again after a deload, only warm up weight for some but on my last 2 sets today I managed 5 x 150kg then 3 X 160kg, I should have only gone to 155kg and will drop my last set to 155kg next time.

I did manage a good 270kg from the top of the knee to lock out on my last set of 5 x 1 of them though, started at 250kg and went up by 5, I did make some noise though.

I am going to rotate between 3 x 8 deficit and 5 x 1 knee height to try and keep it slowly going up.

Sorted out all those injuries that prevent you from progressing yet Dan?

Is this supposed to be a thinly veiled jab somehow? Despite me having already said I wouldn't be lecturing anyone based on having injured myself with poor form/mechanics? If so, lol

100kg x 7 on bench, I think that's a pb for me!

Nice job dude. I'm slowly bringing up that 3rd incline set, started out at 54kg and the bar was very hard to control, now got about 75 on it and managing 10 reps (just) after doing 10 then 8 at of flat something just over 100, think it's like 102.5 or so.

Thinking I might drop the second flat bench set and swap in another incline set as I don't want too big man titties (I have cut eating also to assist until I can do some decent cardio again).

Mine are big enough now. I don't want them to be any bigger to make it easier when my metabolism slows more and I find it harder to change weight as easy.

My thinking is that as I get older I'll slowly lean off a bit over time to avoid sag if possible lol

Hahah, that's my thinking too, but I more so mean I'll step down in weights and move more into cardio as I get older. For that leaner less bulky look and hopefully that will help keep me tight like a tiger.

What's a better game plan then, legit question.

My theory is if the muscle is a little smaller through lighter weights higher reps and my body fat is lower through cardio and diet I should be OK.

I know muscle itself doesn't sag but the connective tissues do. Less weight on those would help.

Less fat is always going to help.

All old people sag - fact. No training will avoid that. Even skinny low fat triathlete oldies sag. You either get lucky or you don't.

Look at Stallone...as roided up as he is, he's in top nick for a man in his 60s...very defined...but you can see the age; you can see the sag. Nothing can be done. Deal wit it.

Keep the fat off and that's the best you can do.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
