Local girl, strong, 120 squat and 140 dead from memory, 60 bench, lifts at PTC weekly prior to comps

hmm, perhaps she moved to Melbourne lol...just seems a little unlikely there'd be 2 Emma Bortolottos into lifting LOL

Markos what is your gym called in Sydney? I know its in Lidcombe I want to go do a session there one weekend with my younger brother and get him shown proper form on the main lifts, rekon I could organise it with whoever runs the joint there?

Up to week 7 of the PPP.

Doing the 180kg on deadlift, 130kg bench and 130kg squat. Going ok so far and feel I'm getting stronger. Looking at the program the next few weeks are going to be tough.

Did week 8 of the 180kg deadlift - tough but got through it. I've moved up to the 135kg on the bench for week 7 and did it. Will see how I go with week 8... 125kg thats going to take some doing!!!

Squat - that has gone out the door as I've had some issues. Am doing this tomorrow night so will see how I go with week 8 of 130kg.

My strength is pretty disproportionate and that's a result of training now for approx 16 months but only doing deads for probably 10-12 months and squats (legs) for probably 8 months or so. Have a long way to catch up on those...

I was the complete opposite... but my bench is coming along now... finally

training alone you will find the deadlift the easiest to go close to your 1rm... the other lifts you really need decent spotters for... squat you can set the pins up to catch the bar should you fail but I always found squatting without the pins meant you had no choice but to make the rep... even if it was a little shallow or ugly... squatting needs a tough mental approach, most people are stronger than they realise... the more time you spend doing it the more confident you get and the more strength you can tap into

More squats get missed on the descent than they do on the way up

I find it easy to tell which it will be as I've sptted 2,000,000 squats in my life

Some are just never going to be mentally strong enough to be physically strong enough

Agree, its much harder to push the 1RM on the squat as you have no idea if you can get back up and if you cant, its harder for a spotter to help - who wants to drop the bar or fall to the ground..!

Out of curiosity, if a guy was doing 130kg 1RM bench, what approximately should his 1RM squat and dead be? (I know theres no formula but what would you expect all things being equal?)

    • Perfect, I'll get to it this winter then at the same time as I weld on my anti squat kit. 
    • Alright so my 32 only has one temperature no matter what degree you set it to. I’ve tried disconnecting the servo motor arm and moving it either direction and got no change. I’ve fixed the leak in my AC and re charged it and with it on and clutch engaged it still blows hot even though the low pressure pipe going to the firewall is ice cold. Both heater core hoses are hot while running as well. Diagnostic code showed 24 for intake air temperature sensor. Anybody got any ideas?
    • I said Garrett style. Not Garrett genuine. And something in the G30 550 range is what you want. Not those pokey little old fashioned T28 sized things. The intake ports in the head are small. There is little benefit in fattening up the runners and leaving ths actual ports small. Just run what you've got. And on the subject of Nistune vs Haltech etc..... You know you can control the transmission with decent standalone ECUs these days, right? No need to keep any of that old Nissan bullshit. Don't get me wrong - I use Nistune on my Neo. But it is a DET, so the number of bodges and workarounds I had to do to make it work in a chassis without ABS, TCS, etc, is quite small compared to the herniated arsehole you will have trying to make it work on a motor that doesn't have some of the things that the turbo ECU wants to see. Just easier to bite the bullet and go aftermarket outright.      
    • Hmm. Only when the f**king thing is actually working. Still can't find the leak. And that's with dye being put in the last 3 times!
