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 believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
    • thanks, will conduct myself accordingly. i unfortunately put about 150 miles on the car before reading this thread again, however no PS issues, and definitely no turbo issues. it spools normally and still feels fast to me, probably because my previous car was an N/A auto sedan...gonna go fix the PS vacuum line though lol. safe to say, got what i came to this thread for. thanks  
    • Agreed, I've never seen a 260RS specific manual. As GTSBoy said it will mostly be stagea other than the engine loom https://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/stageaservicemanual.pdf
