Kristos squatted 265kg, benched 130kg and deadlifted 285kg for 680kg, then deadlifted 300kg on a 4th attempt His squat is the best ever in the 67.5kg class, in any Fed in the World…..#1 All Time

Had a decent day at the recent GPC comp in Melbourne. Went 6 for 6 on squats and deads but botched my bench press... again... only getting my opener, which was 10kg down on my gym pb (150kg) I set a w

lol I look so tiny compared to those monsters

on a plus note, even though I didn't hit my target total I feel really good today... no niggles, a bit sore but that's it... mustn't be lifting enough weight!

Congratulations Markos, you put on a hell of a show

but I don't have an injured back

yeah was okay off the floor but I think I have to work on the lock out... I got red lights on my 2nd attempt for bent knees... I was wondering why it was taking so long for the down command, I thought I was all locked out... the above was my third lift and I only got two whites so definitely have some work to do

my bench is pretty average... I don't really enjoy it, it's a bit of a bore to train

I've worked really hard at squatting as it's a bit of a weakness so pretty happy with the progress... even though I won't be setting records any time soon;)

what's your PB squat? can you train it okay with your back issues?

Squat PB is 185 without wraps and 190 with wraps....

I've got a long road back for my back I reckon.

Currently doing sets of 8 for squats and 5s for deads.

Doing all deads off my 10kg plates so it's from a deficit.

squats are currently lighter than when I started training for powerlifting.

it's frustrating but not as much as lying on the floor in pain for days, then walking like a cripple for weeks.

yeah I hear ya... back injuries suck as they're almost impossible to train around... like when you get an epic back pump in the gym and you can't even lay on a bench and press!

what's the wisdom regarding doing deads from a deficit... increased ROM for rehab?

Makes them harder.. lol

If I get stronger from a deficit, then regular deadlift will be easier as it will start higher.

I don't have much speed off the floor cause I end up injured when I try to move faster.

So if I get stronger from a deeper position, then it will make me stronger through the whole range.

On the 1RM, what is a good way to test that out? ie after you have stretched, warmed up etc how many sets, what weights should you do before you try and hit the 1RM or doesnt it matter?

I tried bench on Monday but I 'think' I did too many sets first?

60x12

80x10

100x6

110x4

120x1 - this was the 1RM effort - spoilt by a spotter who jumped in at the first sight of struggle, despite being told not to!

Cheers.

so is 110 x 4... I can barely double 110

just make sure your touching bar to chest... the amount of high benching I see is almost equal to the amount of high squatting

bloody bench press... I have to do it multiple times a week for even the tiniest gain... sick of it!

Thanks.

They are definitely touching the chest.... actually maybe the last 2 of the 110 might have been a bee's dick above (didnt have a spotter for that).

The 120kg I even planned to pause at the bottom for a split sec but it was too heavy so lifted as soon as it touched.

Will give it a crack next week with singles above 100kg and see how I go.

Wont mention my squat efforts... :/

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
