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

3/1 - Xplode

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.

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
