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?)

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
