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... :/

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
