yep it starts gently but gets painful quickly

if training for strength you want to be fully recovered for each of your heaviest sets... it can be 5 min or longer... you want to approach the set with 100% effort and focus... it's a bit of a balance between recovering fully and getting cold (which isn't much of an issue at the moment)

cheers

last week was easy, I felt like I could go much heaver... this week was just 5kg more but was super tough... I have burst a blood vessel in my eye, look like a stoner lol... need more practice in the wraps

I also did 115kg x 3 on the bench press yesterday which is a PR... not very impressive I know but I'm making progress which is nice

poor Martin

Righto, I'll try out 3 mins or so and see how I go.

I tested out my 1rm for bench yesterday without a spotter (but in my cage with safety's) and I got 105kg.

So should I do the 115kg program or 120kg?

Which one do you think is achievable in 3 months? I played it safe and only went 10kg up on bench. if I gain 40kg on bench in 12 months, I'll be exstatic.

I did 120kg 1RM on the bench and tried the 140kg PPP, by week 4 it was too much. I was giving myself 3 minutes between sets which probably wasn;t enough but even then the weight would have been a struggle.

I think 10kg is safe, 15kg is hard and 20kg is really pushing it, if not too much.

Thats right, try it and see as everyone is different.

I mentioned on my ProRawForum how Zoran started on the 180kg deadlift program first week of September. He told me it was his old PB, he pulled a very hard 160kg in front of me, so we started on 180kg.

Before I got back from Worlds late September, his assistance exercises included 220kg pulls from a deficit for reps. In late November he deadlifted 280kg at the National Deadlift comp, on the weekend he pulled 290kg

This guy doesnt even drink protein shakes, has a 130kg improve in 5 months, he may be 2-3kg heavier

my mate swears by that craze stuff... but he gets out lifted by girls so I never bothered with it

I'm glued to the couch watching basketball today... just those couple of tough grind squats yesterday have broken me

might just lay down on that comfy new bench tomorrow

This just makes me think what the hell was he doing before!

So many gains

if only... Sigh.....

I'm trying + 20/10/20

Who would have it any other way! All star weekend this weekend as well.

I agree that 15kg is a pretty optimistic jump for 11weeks on any exercise, but hopefully i can get it done. Is it a good idea to change up the reps of the assistance exercises each week ie 5 reps one week and then 12 another week and 8 the next etc or should i stick with one?

Zoran came from a boxing back ground

Made a decision to compete in powerlifting and joined our gym

Started at 140/120/160

Now 235/145/290

He is 23 and been training in gyms like others do, his lifts were okay in a regular gym

I hear Craze is off the market now

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
