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

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.

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).

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.

Do whatever works for you

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.

    • 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.
