If you're lifting heavy enough, gloves will still give you calluses...it's unavoidable as the skin is pinched at the joints. But they come in handy if you forget your gloves and they are fun to pull off.

Dead lift

30

40

70

Tried 80 and couldn't even get it off the ground, then underestimated and kept it at 70 when I should have increase at least a little. Was a bit dissapointed that I couldnt at least get one out at 80 but my grip was much more secure this time so at least some improvement was present.

Try increasing your deadlift by 2.5kg or 5kg to allow the muscle to super compensate! 10kg is a massive increase in weight

Yah that was what I know I should have done. Increased 10kg last time and still got too many reps. Will see what I can get out tomorrow! Heat will make it a bitch >.<

3/1 - Xplode

10x2 unless otherwise stated

DB Press

7.5kg

12.5

Frustrating because I can't do 15kg and it's the next weight up. Don't want to do bar when I'm on my own because I'm quite uneven. May make middle two sets 12.5 as well see if it reduces reps in last two.

Lat pull down - close grip

60lbs

80 (36kg)

90 (41kg) +3kg 8x2

Inclined DB press

And today will be a whole month of hitting the gym. Yay :)

So at your gym is there lbs and kg? Always messes with my head the diff lol, Good work though.

lbs = kg x 2.2

Or, if it makes it easier, double the kg (100kg x 2 = 200) and then add 10% (200 + 20 = 220lbs).

Yah they mix lbs and kgs... the lb plates have kg written on them too but they aren't in tens, not so neat, so I just go with the lbs. Easier to remember. :)

I exclude the bar when i write down my DL/bench/squat weights. But then again as everyone knows, I'm not the most clued-in guy here. To me it just seems like writing it down without the bar weight lessens the inflation of the weight that i write down thus motivating me to do more next time.

sounds retarded.

the bar isn't made of air.

it's metal.

when you lift it you are lifting the bar which weighs 20kg itself.

when you do dumbbell work, do you subtract the weight of the handle?

When you jump on the scales to weigh yourself, do you remove your feet?

hahahha yeah i understand that. Not saying the bar doesn't weigh, I'm just not including it in calculations......though i also see how that doesn't make sense.

Damn you stole my line! :P

Agree that the bar has always been automatically included in my head, but the mind works in crazy ways... if eating dinner for breakfast and breakfast for dinner makes you try harder then who gives a toss. All psychological.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      My BMW 335i

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.

      Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
