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.

Been a while but finally managed to work out some 1RM's;

120kg bench

165kg deadlift

110kg squat (no comments lol)

Decided my starting weights on the PPP are going to be;

130kg bench

180kg deadlift

120kg squat

I figured that if I go through the program and it becomes too much on a certain week I will drop to the lower weight program for that week and do the weights stated there. I didnt want to start too low and not gain much overall improvement on the PB.

So started the deadlift PPP yesterday and was OK. Lower back feels it today. Today off and tomorrow chest.

Squat and deadlift are great. Bench is a bit low compared to them, any reason? What do you weigh again?

A competition bench is done with a pause on the chest, bum on the bench, feet cant move

Many that have lifted at my novice comps are stunned how much they lose when they have to it properly

That will be a great total Nick at sub 90kg, 565kg at your first States is great. Max did 462.5kg at his

Very different to a gym lift

Although it's sometimes a downer first time you try, once you learn how to do it properly it eventualy helps you lift more. Most people don't drive through their feet etc.

Oh, I agree. Max's PB is 155kg paused, he's never tried more touch and go. In fact he pauses all his reps now

Gym lifters drop over 10kg when they try to pause, some drop another 10 when they have to touch there chest

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
