Nothing wrong with those squats.

If I had to nit pick I would say that the first 2 reps were more controlled than the last 3.

Pause it at the bottom of each squat.

see how much of the word Hammer Strength you can see on the safety bar.

you'll find that you started drifting forward a little.

so you either didn't stay as tight or started going down before beign completely ready.

but you're movement was the same for each rep and you went deep enough.

If you can keep the same form at higher weights then it's great.

Cheers mate. Yeah they were a bit sloppy I'll admit, was the absolute end of my squat sets and only bothered doing them to record it :P Still getting back into them again so I fatigue quickly, though I'd just done a couple of sets @120kg :D

man i cant squat that low with no weight.........

See this:

it's actually easier to hit depth with weight.

Honestly, I can pull 20 reps of 60kg easier than 20 reps of nothing. Likely it's all to do with the weight adding balance and stability or some shit, but it still boggles ze mind :P

Got my mate to film me squat and dead today...Been copping a recurring injury to my glutes/hips that is seriously limiting my weights so I'm after some feedback on my form to see if that might be causing the issue.

Only got 100kg on the bar in both vids so there was some weight that would get me closer to the form I'd have with heavier weight, but not enough that I'd flare up the injury that is still lingering.

It's tough to describe but I'll give it a go

The feeling it gives is like my upper outer glute & lower back muscles are twisted...

Makes squatting/deadlifting a no go when it's bad, and even kneeling down or bending over to pick something up is a mission

Lately I've been using the foam roller before every session, releasing the IT band after reading that it may cause lower back and knee pain which I was getting.

My knees don't really feel sore anymorem but the lower back and glutes is always lingering... I'm starting to think there might be a pinched nerve or something like that...A few weeks back I was warming up on squats, started at 60kg, next warmup was 80kg, and as I hit the bottom of the rep, I felt a sharp pain shoot up my back from my glute, and that was the end of the session, over before it started.

When I played football I did my hamstrings 5 times, once on the left (then never again) and 4 on the right (1-2 of those were just light re-strains when coming back). Then the year I decided to hang up the boots, I hit the 5x5 program over what would have been the pre season, did no running at all, was squatting/deadlifting 160 for 5-6 reps at about 82kg. Then the start of the season came around and I got the itch, so I pulled on the boot having not trained for it at all, and managed to play the entire season without a hamstring injury (I'd say due to the core strength gained)

Problem now is I weigh more (90kg carrying a bit of a gut), but I'm lifting much much less (120kg x 6 squat yesterday trying not to flare this up again, 130kg x 6 dead with a belt 5th, 120 x 6 without in the 4th set) Pretty frustrating with the constant up and down of weights due to injury, but I'm still in there working away at it... I've always used massage as a cure, but I'm thinking of seeing a chiro for a look over to see if there's any obvious issues.

I also think my right leg is slightly shorter than my right. Not sure if it's directly related, but the bulk of the soreness is on the right hand side, so it's worth a thought.

Does sound a bit like my SIJ bullshit on a good day. Other than taking a heap of time off from deads and squats, I've found hamstring stretching to help SO MUUUUUUUUCH. This specifically:

hwkb17_055.jpg

You need to get close enough that it's uncomfortable as f**k to keep your leg straight with your pelvis/back FLAT on the ground, but not so unbearable that you can lay there for 3 or more minutes. Keep your toes pointed AWAY - ie, don't pull them towards your body. This is a hamstring/glute stretch, not calves and back :P

Along with some isolated glute stretches.

im a bit confused watching those video's, how do those guys lift so much weight, they dont look big enough to do it,

i was of the belief that muscle size directly related to how much you lift, not saying these guys are skinny or small , just saying they dont look anything close to a dorian yates or a Tommy platz in the hay days..

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.

      Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
