DL - decided to see where my strength is at on these, despite having not trained them in almost a year because of bulging discs, so I kept the reps low. Previous PB was a hard 170kg in comp..

Progress pic, goal is 16" arms @ 10% (currently 14" @ 18%), still have a fair bit of muscle to build..

What's your bodyweight Mike?

Is it a good idea to go that hard and heavy into deadlifts when you haven't done the exercise for a year due to injury?! Ease back into it man...

Hovering around 75-76kg with slack eating. A few weeks ago when I was eating solid I got up to 78.5kg. The last few weeks have been stressful and busy trying to get the car going again (SR blew, then bought a forged motor from a private seller in "good working order" turned out to be completely f**ked and had to get my money back, then bought another SR from an import shop and that one turned out to have a hole in piston 3, they rebuilt it free of charge and it's all sweet, still, ended up putting the engine in/out two more times than I should have had to do lol) but that's settling down so I should be able to focus on training and eating again from next week onwards.

The deadlifts felt pretty good. The 125 and 155 didn't cause much strain at all, the first rep on 175 was hard but solid, the second rep was slow and not great, but I didn't break, good sign, lol. Sometimes you just have to test the waters. It's a starting point, haven't decided if I'll start training deadlift again, but what I do know is if I do, it should be ok as long as I keep the rep range low so that my form doesn't break down and get me in strife.

Another thing I might add that helps tremondously with rest and recovery is by deadlifting on a lifting platform with bumper plates, I don't have to waste energy controlling the down portion of the lift, I can just 'drop' while holding the bar. (Obviously this isn't really an option if you train at a commercial gym because they'll shoot you for dropping the weights + they're not bumpers and will get damaged)

I tested DL singles last night too coming back from back injury.

I'm still 30kg off my best but only 10kg off my best at home - shit bar and shit plates compared to comp stuff.

I've decided to do Nationals.

I'll pack the voltaren, heat pack and ice pack for the drive home :rofl:

what's your DL PB?

get someone to drive you or it could be trouble lol

On Tue night if anyone was watching my try and get out of the carpark after gym they would've wondered WTF was wrong with me... bloody GTR clutch was making my calf cramp something shocking... had to make a few moves to get out at the right angle, stopping every few seconds to stretch it as it cramped up... funny but painful

Been deadlifting on platforms with bumper plates at the new gym, it's good, but I honestly don't see what all the fuss is about.

I'm more excited about the bar they have to jack the barbell up off the ground to load the plates on...

Lol yeah it's sick, makes it so much easier/quicker

I see your point, the bumpers would help out a lot with those lifts, I just don't do any of em lol

DL 140x6 just then without too much trouble so 150 shouldn't be a problem next week

I've done it before but tweaked a glute, and used to do it when I was doing the 5x5 strength program but I wore a belt back then

Too confident from last session, rookie mistake. Gassed after the 200 attempt. Disappointing but I should have known better.

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
