Lifters are a novice in my opinion if they cant squat 140, bench 100 and deadlift 180. This is achievable by anyone regardless of bodyweight in under a year, some do it in a few weeks.

Next phase is 180 squat 120 bench and 200kg dead, thats an intermediate lifter, 2-3 years lifting for the lighter guys

A 220 squat, 140 bench and 240 dead means your plenty strong in commercial gym speak. In PL speak strong for a 90kg lifter

Advanced for a 90kg lifter is 250 squat, 160 bench and 260 dead

After that progress will slow, but that should take 5 years of consistent lifting

If youve been lifting for 5 years, weigh around 90kg and arent close, ask yourself what youve been doing

You will have big muscles if you can make those lifts

This is just my opinion, dont take it to heart, its just a guide

Bodyweight doesnt work, thats why its not used in ANY form of strength competition

Jesse squats 165kg@67kg, thats 2.4 x bw

Jack squatted 300kg@150kg, thats 2 x bw

Most think Jesses is the more impressive lift, its not, its not even close

For them to be equal on a Glossbrenner calculator, Jesse has to squat 210kg@67kg

Advanced for a 90kg lifter is 250 squat, 160 bench and 260 dead

After that progress will slow, but that should take 5 years of consistent lifting

I must be impatient but if that takes me 5 years I'll be fckn upset... States are on the weekend and I'm already unhappy with my total... even if I make every lift... I'm quickly tiring of not being competitive... I want a fckn medal! maybe Max will let me hold his lol

You make a good point in regards to bodyweight... I just meant it as a rough guide for the average sized bloke... I forgot you actually post advice in this thread

I mean 5 years from the first day you walk in a gym Nick, ignorance is not an excuse.

I know Max has been training for 5 years, most would say he started by powerlifting, not even close.

He started first for soccer, then Olympic lifting, then 3 years ago to the month, powerlifting

He started at 51kg, is now 90kg, and in 5 years he has done 250/155/250.

Started at 15 is now 20

Martins is a similar story, 5 years of training, first 3 1/2 at home

Jack in under 3 years has done 300/185/300, but he has gone from 105kg to 155kg

These time frames are from first ever session.

yes I see your point... ignorance is never an excuse... for anything

Gregg goes alright lol

At around 105kg and 20yo his best lifts are

Squat 320kg x 2

Bench 200kg x 2

Dead 300kg x 1

Started lifting when he was 13. He has more muscle on his body than any 20yo I have ever met.He weighed 108kg before the workout yesterday, 110kg at the end.

Martin was 83kg the day before weigh in, weighed in at 80kg, was 86kg 2 hours later.

SRS13, has nothing to do with powerlifting,its about progress in the gym. If your not making that kind of progress, your just repeating the same workouts.

Its called progressive resistance training, thats the actual name for what we loosely call exercise

The progress I mentioned has nothing to do with powerlifting.

Those in denial that state they lift to get bigger instead or prefer other exercises, check out Greggs strength and size

OK but I agree. Its certainly about progress in the gym, its also about personal fitness, a healthier lifestyle and looking and feeling better but not necessarily all about 1RM's. I'll still do the PPP as its a great program and im getting good results with it.

I have been doing nothing but PPP and general powerlifting since the start of the year... went to my bro-in-laws birthday today and everyone was commenting on how much bigger I'd gotten... I despise high reps, the majority of sets I do 5 reps and under

this stuff works... however the biggest benefit is training with guys bigger and stronger than you... you have no choice other than to make progress... it's too fckn embarrassing not too

if you want to get serious join a serious gym... best move I've made

comp tomorrow so I stayed away from alcohol... I haven't had a beer in weeks... but I ate so much food I'm feeling a bit ill lol

Markos puts on a great show... come down and have a watch tomorrow

All due respect to Gregg, he has a powerlifter's stereotypical physique, whereas some people prefer the fitness model/natural bodybuilder style of physique

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
