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

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
