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.

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
