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..

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.

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
