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:

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..

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
