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

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
