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

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
