Had a decent day at the recent GPC comp in Melbourne. Went 6 for 6 on squats and deads but botched my bench press... again... only getting my opener, which was 10kg down on my gym pb (150kg) I set a w

I find I can squat and bench multiple times a week and still get quality work in on other movements

but deadlifting has to be planned out a bit because of the lower back fatigue... once the lower back and grip is gone I find it hard to do much else and need a full 48 hours to recover... otherwise my workout is compromised... lots of foam rolling on the lower back helps

I used to give equal time to squatting and deadlifting but now I'm focussing more on squatting and just deadlifting once a week... I find a stronger squat helps the DL, but it doesn't work the other way round

^^ you don't have runners?

I've got a $20 pair of K-mart specials lol - I don't ever really use them. The closest I get to an activity that warrants runners would be riding my bike, which I wear my skate shoes :P

I do actually have a pair of Vans Authentics that I've squatted in before and they did quite well, though personally I prefer barefoot anyway.

i'm not talking about just lifting, I wear weightlifting shoes for most most of my lifting.

I didn't realise he didn't run, sprint, do circuits, play some sport, or do anything apart from lifting weights.

I sprint barefoot on a grass track :P I ride a downhill bike which is horrifically inefficient when not going down a hill....aaaaaaand I'm considering taking up soccer again this year, so I'll obviously need to buy boots for that. If I have time for it at least.

I just don't have time and couldn't be f**ked doing anything other than the above on top of lifting. Don't see the point.

I don't do any of those.

Drive to work in Business attire.

once home I walk the dogs

then lift

then repeat.

I do have sneakers though... for the walking of said dogs

^ I used to think the same, now I look over to my shoe rack and see work boots, black business shoes, and trendy fasion shoes not suitable for anything practical. Oh how the times change, back in the day all I used to have was runners, would wear them everywhere.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.

      Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.

      I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.

      LOL well, lucky mine doesn't have some R shit on it. Around town, it handles so much better than the R33, R33 in the wet is pretty dangerous to the untrained hoon, especially with 13kg/mm front springs.
