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... :/

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
